Post any tips and tricks you have on Battlefield (not cheats)

ill start
I find that you can destroy a tank with one shot from a bazooka just get real close to the back of the tank and fire (only works of Panzers and shermans) i found that it doesnt work on tigers and M10 tanks....
If your in a tank and against a tank do you find you get destroyed first?
i do so there are weak points to aim for i find that hitting the back of the tank is best or bettween the turret and the main part (on the join) is a weak point and the tracks/wheels are weak points...
i always seem to miss my targets when im in a plane i have found out there's are realy good view called nose cam great for using your machine gun.. also drop the bomb just before you get to the target..
Infantry for a faster kill shot while crouched or prone(lying down) this makes you a smaller target and your shots more accurate.. also aim for the head for a fater kill..
if your a medic HEAL your team who are around...
work as a team dont go by yourself for a flag you have more of a chance with another person

hope this helps

feel free to add to it

artillery is a very powerful weapon in the game
using artillery will dessimate the front lines of the other team while you remain a safe distance away

also scouts are vital to the team because they can call for artillery and use the indirect fire mode so the artillery can see where they are firing instead of making blind shots

If you're a scout playing in a single person game, is there any reason to call for artillery? Does the comp use you as a spotter and fire? I've never seen anything drop when I've done it before...

Jimmy White · 12-18-2003, 04:24 AM

I only play online so i wouldnt know if the comp does or not

Here's a tip for the "Battle of Britain" map. Play as the british, fly a plane over the german side and paradrop. You can then use the AA guns to shoot down bombers. The only problem is that some people think of this as spawn camping.

i was referring to online multiplayer games since online play is more popular than single player in battlefield

Sometimes.

Its hard to find a group of fellas that play as a team. Thoses AI are real stupid but at least they know how to play the game.

Ya, but since I don't have (and it seems like I'll never have) a high-speed connection, single play is all I've got...

I didnt read the other stuff but the engineer rifle pwns if you get good at it, you can take down planes with the assault gun if you practice, use planes to get somewhere quick to cap bases, and if your near a vehicle with a few enemies in it as an engi throw the mines like with no regard to your own life.

That will work for 5 seconds until the Germans realize who's using their AA and put a few new holes in your head.

That's why you have to be stealthy

Jimmy White · 12-20-2003, 08:11 AM
