No, the proficiency assignment only unlock the three regular camouflage patterns, while the other two camouflage patterns are limited to Speciale and Aviator. Those two are both very nice and would go well with the vanilla sets, especially Gravedigger. If they were added to the proficiency assignment rewards with 6.6, I couldn’t do them anyway because I completed them in December 2018. I also wouldn’t mind buying them for cc in the company or armory if it’s not possible to add them retroactively, but I think there could be some issues for players that don’t have the other [uncommon] and [rare] variants of those sets - I’ve seen comment of players who didn’t have the base variants of Aviator and weren’t able to equip the new ones after buying them in the armory.

I hope my question is clear now, I’m looking forward to an answer from the Devs.

NOW I UNDERSTAND! Thank you for clarifying. Let me check on this.

This sounds great, and really excited for all the new content. Any chance we will see any change to way assignments are set up. A way to change assignments without having to leave the match your in, or sort of list tree for class assignments, gun assignments, etc. Instead of just one long list. I like playing to try to achieve something specific, but sometimes a certain class is just not working for you when maps change and it’s a waste of time to leave figure out how you want to approach accomplish the tasks. Thanks

At this stage it won't change, but has served as a lesson for the future.

Just to clarify, my question is wether those two camo patterns (I call them Arras and Aerodrome because of their icons) that used to be exclusive to Speciale and are currently available for Aviator in the armory will be added to the German vanilla sets (Paladin, Illusionist, Gravedigger, Wolf). Because for those sets the camo patterns are unlocked via class proficiency assignments and can not be bought with cc, making it impossible to add them through the armory.

(I think you got it anyway just to be sure because you mentioned Speciale coming to the armory, I‘m not worried about that, was thankfully able to grab it last time it was in the rotation)

Thanks and stay safe!

Oh, I mentioned Speciale as you had mentioned it.

You can just complete the proficiency assignments to unlock them, right? Just do the assignments.

Any chance for the 1917 Enfield and the Panzerschrek?

The 1917 doesnt offer anything unqiue in terms of gameplay that we dont already have. It's a great weapon, but when we looked at what we could deliver and the time available to us we prioritised things that would help to mix the gameplay up vs. giving you more of something you have.

Similar story for the Panzerschrek.

Both great, but we focused on adding more unique content where possible.

It's a No. If it ever changes, I'll say, but the expectation here is that it won't release.

I think we should see if we can get the Chauchat added to BF 6! 🤪

@ u/braddock512 I'll even revive the Dic_Pic account! First post is Dick Tracy!

Dick Van Dyke, Dick Grayson (Robin), etc.

u/Braddock512 do you have an update about the night maps being included for the Community Games update? Do you also have an update regarding AA tweaks?

I don’t have an update on either of those yet. Still pushing on it.

Hey Braddock, thanks for all you do and put up with. Any chance of a more accessible and effective way to report teamers in Firestorm solos on console? I know the game mode won’t get much more love as things wind down, but there’s a small core of us that would really appreciate a more effective method than just trying to shame them with private messages, lol. Cheers.

Lemme see what we can do. Keep me on it - so remind me in a week if you haven’t heard back.

Do you have any news on that? Or should I keep my eyes peeled for the armory tomorrow?

Speciale is a specific set and will be in an upcoming armory rotation. The two locked ones in Aviator, I’m still checking on.

Quick question, will the US faction be separated for the Pacific and Europe? The Marine Core and Army had very different aesthetics, so it would be nice for them to be separated.

Would make having outfits for each more convenient for fashion folks.

Also mildly disappointed we won’t be seeing the Springfield in game.

Edit: Added 2nd paragraph

They won't be separated, but appropriate new customisation options will help to let players switch up their outfits, along with a lot more new soldiers (allowing for folks top more easily swap their entire loadout by adjusting which soldier is used)

Sounds nice, more like 'scrambling all that has been created so far into one update' though.

Still no Ju-52 for the German paratroopers in Operations though?

Making Germany defend on Panzerstorm means no more grand Tiger tank pushes, which is sad.

Also Twisted Steel and Panzerstorm now alternating between UK/US is kind of weird, which battles are those supposed to be exactly? Full fiction at this point?

Al-Marj being infantry only is a bummer, but at least provence can be cool with tanks.

Also, still no sign of a single sniper rifle for American recons (Springfield) or single Japanese assault weapon?

For clarity - Twisted Steel and Panzerstorm (and later Al Sundan) will not Alternate, they're US vs. Germany maps following the launch of the update. The only time you'll see it different is during Grand Operations where the maps will remain as they are today.

Al Sundan has been removed from the rotation due to VO issue. Here we go again.

I can appreciate the meme - I have all confidence that it'll be back in our next update. The issue wasn't presenting any stability issues, it was just a matter of us hearing completely the wrong set of VO and how it would be very misleading in the gameplay. The fix is simple and already tested its just a matter of integrating it into the next release.

As an update - we're reviewing this with the team and asking if we're happy to leave it in. The VO bug is odd, but not game breaking. I'll let you know where we land.

u/Braddock512 u/PartWelsh thank you for the notes! Any chance the trailer still drops today as well? Or is that still being held back, considering the events happening in the US

It won't release today and I'm not in a position to set any expectation around when, or even if, it may ever release.

Am I seeing this right? Twisted steel and Panzerstorm will now be US vs Germany?

Correct - except in Grand Operations where we sustain the current setup.

Looks good.

I have one question: are you guys going to enable the team balancer? Freeman explained that it was behind a killswitch, any idea when you are going to make it available?

We did an initial test on this (on the public client, but on a hidden server) - it didn't play out as expected.

We'll do similar tests when 7.0 launches, but the current belief is that there's an extra fix we need to deploy in a planned smaller update that may possibly release later this month.

Shortest answer - yes, still on the plans and I'll open up more on this as soon as is appropriate.

Any new cosmetics?

Yep. We haven't historically listed these in Update Notes. We would have featured some of them in the promotional material, but we'll show these off at a later time.

Thanks for the fine updates, but what about the community games and anti cheat?

I thought these would be one of the major changes in this release, because without any changes to anti cheat and community games this game will soon be dead :-(

Work continues on anti-cheat. In our last blog (Future of Battlefield V), we indicated that we will have a Community Games update later. That’s still happening.

So you don't plan to add more options ( like increased bullet damage ) to community servers ?

More Community Game features are coming in a later update.
