There are also no helicopters either.And planes will be there but not jets with lock ons and 30mm gau instakill cannon So we’re pretty much guaranteed a cancer free game. ---

This game has the potential to Make Battlefield Great Again. Removing scrub crutches and reintroducing skill into the game is definitely a step in the right direction. ---

This meant that you could literally knock a heli out of the air, with a 1911 pistol…it IS possible that in order to balance for no lock-ons, that they decrease biplane/triplane health. Not sure it’s the fix you want…I shot down plenty choppers in BFBC2 with just my pistol lol ---

You will more than likely have to deal with Flak in BF1. I have a great feeling that it is going to be fun, both taking planes down and trying to survive in them. 🙂 ---

BC2 allowed maximum of 24 players total on conquest (12 v 12), and a maximum of 32 players total on PC (16 v 16). ---
