This is something that I greatly enjoy about Battlefield V I’ve put in around 185 hours into Battlefield V over the past year, which is an incredible amount of time that reflects my enjoyment of the game despite its issues. That I’ve returned in spite of bad TTK, poor visibility and a relatively weak set of maps attests to what compels me to play Battlefield with Battlefield 1, the Road to Battlefield community missions encouraged me to experience the game more often, and having constant, weekly assignments was something that I returned to DICE as feedback. However, it’s not been all smooth sailing: DICE has also clearly not listened to community feedback, and their latest patch renders weapons ineffectual to the point of changing the fundamental core of gameplay.ĭuring the course of this past year, the Tides of War challenges were ultimately what compelled me to return weekly and complete each assignment despite the difficulties Battlefield V have presented. A year later, and with the introduction of the Pacific Theatre, DICE appears to have pulled off the impossible, having put out consistently good patches to improve the game. Battlefield V was in dire straits, and desperately needed a miracle to rectify. DICE would subsequently release content at a snail’s pace, and bugs negatively impacting performance soon cropped up, making the game quite unplayable for some. DICE did not instil confidence in the months that followed: the TTK was modified to the detriment of gameplay, making a responsive and rewarding shooting system feel weak, and only a single map was released. The progression system was limiting and limited, offering very little for players to unlock and forcing players to go out of their way to complete, which came at the expense of team play. There were only eight maps, and not all of these were always enjoyable to play on. The apparent time-to-death was far too short. However, good shooting alone does not make a game, and right from the start, I was plagued with visibility issues where cowardly players would exploit the visual aspects of the game to blend in to rubble and foliage to score easy kills. After putting in twelve hours over the space of two weeks, I gained a satisfactory measure of the game: the gunplay had indeed felt excellent, consistent and satisfying. I picked Battlefield V up a short ways after its original launch, undeterred by the marketing campaign having been thoroughly impressed with the gunplay seen during the alpha and beta testing, I entered the game with an open mind. NimitzĬoming out of the shadows of a botched launch marketing campaign, and then cursed by the most unfortunate combination of bad gameplay, poor mechanical decisions and a lack of launch content, the Battlefield V of a year ago handled dramatically differently. And no more possible to verify right now than the shoot-downs themselves are.“The basic objectives and principles of war do not change.” –Fleet Admiral Chester W. “Ukrainian forces have found A-50 to be fairly easy to degrade via electronic attack,” Justin Bronk, Nick Reynolds and Jack Watling explained in a 2022 report for the Royal United Services Institute in London.ĭid the Russian command planes venture closer to the front line so their radars and radios might overpower the jamming? Maybe, but that’s speculation. It’s worth noting, however, that the command planes reportedly have struggled to overcome electromagnetic jamming. While Ukraine’s best air-defenses-its American-made Patriot PAC-2s-can hit aircraft from 90 miles away, A-50s and Il-22s normally should fly at the very edge of that range. If the shoot-downs did occur, it’s worth asking how. Worse than the day, back in December, when the Ukrainians shot down three Russian Sukhoi fighter-bombers in a complex missile-ambush over southern Ukraine. If the Ukrainians indeed struck both the Il-22 and the A-50, Sunday would mark the single worst day for the Russian air force in the 23 months since Russia widened its war on Ukraine. The alleged shoot-down reportedly occurred just 10 minutes after the Il-22 got hit. Kyiv Independent claimed an A-50 was shot down “immediately after it went on duty in the Kyrylivka area of Zaporizhzhia” in southern Ukraine. Ukrainian forces, or their Belarusian agents, apparently damaged one of the A-50s at its base in Belarus back in February. The Russian air force has just nine A-50Ms and upgraded A-50Us.
