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.

u/PartWelsh is it still possible we get ju-52 :( ... i got mixed feeling with this update.

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.

I PM’d him before the notes went live. ;)

Hey folks,

Last week, we set in motion our plans to deploy the Summer Update for Battlefield V. 

We recognize that there are more important conversations taking place in the world today, so you haven’t seen us publish promotional material around the update this week, similar to how we have in the past on Battlefield V. 

We’re otherwise encouraging that we all take notice of what’s happening in the United States, as well as other places around the world, and ask how we can all do more, as we must do more.

Yesterday, we at EA committed ourselves to education and driving meaningful change through actions. This is a long-term commitment that you can read more about ...

u/Braddock512 u/PartWelsh You guys could at least give us an indication if we are still good to go for the update this week. I know you said it won't get delayed but this media blackout gives us the wrong impression. We understand that police brutality towards African Americans and other minorities is an issue but this is about a game update.

Update is tomorrow. Notes coming shortly.
