In this AMAA, we'll be joined by Florian Le Bihan ( DRUNKKZ3 ), Jaqub Ajmal (jaqubajmal), and Ryan McArthur (CanadaRye8).

The focus of this AMAA will be the recent Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes Update #2, Panzerstorm changes, Practice Range Updates, and MAYBE we'll get a peak at some things just on the horizon (no promises!)Please keep your questions focused to the topic at hand: Chapter 2 Update #2 content, Panzerstorm changes, Practice Range Updates, and update notes and keep them constructive.

The Devs will be live on January 31st, 2019 from 9AM - 11AM PST (6PM - 8PM CET), so go ahead and drop your questions here and they'll have some things to work with right out of the gate.

EDIT:
Thanks, Jaqub, Ryan, and Florian for joining us today. As always, it's nearly impossible to answer every question, and we do appreciate your time in joining us. (Feel free to pop in every now and then if you see something you can answer, gents.)
Big thanks to the Battlefield V Reddit community for joining us and providing a lot of good, tough questions. I will be collating many of these to address in our Weekly Quality of Life Tracker as we move forward.
And big thanks to the BattlefieldV Reddit Mods for helping keep this on track and constructive.

Talk soon!

First off let me say I love the ZK-383 on the medic. I may love it more than the MG-42. With the edition of new tanks added in game is there chance we'll see other non primary weapons added for the weekly challenges? Maybe like a Limpet Charge on the support?

Hey there Dice,

Love the fact you all are doing your best to stay up on the bugs & updates. Thank you for that! Is there any plans to fix the Prone Bug? (Going prone on even or uneven ground/anywhere sometimes kicks you back to standing position.) I’ve lost count to how many times I’ve been eliminated due to diving behind cover then being force to stand up, ironically I get caught with my pants down!

Thanks,

Zesty

Do you have a video? Could it be that your body just didn't have enough space to go prone in that specific place? Thanks.

This was often triggered by going into the menus and then backing out onto the game... The friends list remained as an overlay on the right side of the screen, so when you pulled the trigger you interacted with that menu, instead of your weapon, to make it disappear you just press options to go into start menu then circle to back out into the game and its fixed (on PS4).

A video would be great! This issue sounds really strange because it would be very obvious if it happened for everyone. And considering that all Playstation hardware is almost identical, I find it hard to understand how such an issue could happen. Do you have any other devices connected to your playstation? Maybe PSVR or some other third party controller?

There's a bug on PS4 that when you put the console on sleep mode and return, you cannot reconnect to the EA servers. You have to close the game and relaunch.

Ok, we will ask our LIVE QA team to see if they can reproduce this issue.

Would you consider remakes of classic Battlefield maps for BF V?

I have two suggestions:

Operation Metro 1944 (Think of the popularity of Metro only servers)

Strike at Karkand 1942 (IMO the best BF map of all time)

I obviously can't answer this:) But tell us what you want to see.

Can we expect further bugfixes and balance changes in this chapter? F.e: tank splashdamage is still useless, like most airplanes if its about air to ground

As with all Battlefield games we will keep tweaking this. :) Keep telling us that you like and don't like.

Are You aware of infinite loading screen bug that occurs when loading from one operation day to the next? If yes when can we expect fix for that?

We are aware that some players are running into this issue, and we are working hard to resolve it as soon as possible. But we do not have a fix yet, so I am unable to give you any dates, but I hope as soon as possible.

Do you have any idea why is matchmaking taking so much time? Right now (12:30 CET) it took me and my friend over 18 minutes to get a match of Breakthrough. I know it's not exactly prime time, but it's first day of new challenges and there are loads of full servers in server browser and I will get a game in seconds while joining solo. Is there lack of players or servers? Is there any hidden MM that is trying to find us worthy opponents?

Matchmaking can take time if there are not enough player in your region currently trying to matchmake at the same time as you, with the same mode. But if you live in Europe or North America it should be pretty fast as there are many players playing.

While I cannot promise anything, I did see our UI Programmer tweet that she was looking into it.
