Any plans to look at surface - air balance and even intra vehicle balance?

Light tanks are a pretty terrible choice on almost every map compared to medium/heavy tanks. They're paperweights.

And the pacific maps in particular are plagued with pilots absolutely going ham because of the poor surface to air balance.

It's an area that's been focused on for this update and these changes lead the Update Notes.

Can you at least drop us a hint of there is to be anything even remotely f**king exciting in this update, or it is minor changes that most players will never really notice?

It's not a content patch. It's focused on fixes and Quality of Life. There have been things like join on friends that we wanted to fix last month but couldn't because of the changes brought about by COVID.

I recognise it won't set everyones world on fire but there are good fixes and changes here.

The full patch notes will come 24 hours prior to the Update dropping, but I can likely give a good indication as to what you can expect next in the Update tomorrow evening.

We have our final sign off meeting tomorrow evening so once it's locked I can confirm when to expect the Update.

Targeting next week for sure though.

What will happen to the CM’s after support for the game ends, will you move on to other projects or is this the end of your work for dice?

I'm based directly here in Sweden working side by side with the development teams at DICE. My role tasks me with supporting the entire Battlefield franchise, so I'll be continuing that work here as we push towards what comes next.

It just sucks that they can't comment on unreleased content but perhaps they can pass the message along as feedback.

We can't, but we do.

Thank you, and thanks to OP too.

u/PartWelsh can you explain this? I am the original OP & the person you responded to.

The comment I made was in relation to the most identifiable of Inisgnia such as Swastikas, Iron Crosses etc

There’s an intense amount of emotional charge that comes from using these types of symbols.

There are plenty of details otherwise embedded into the cosmetics featured in the game that pay respect to the era.

Thank you for your response, u/PartWelsh. I am grateful.

I understand you & Braddock are often met w/ criticism, insults & anger on this subreddit & Twitter, and I consider that an unfair response. I am upset & agitated with this situation, but I still respect your work & your effort.

I also recognise you read the subreddit each day & imagine it is simply not worth responding to repeated, copied posts or mindless shitposts (although they can be funny, if not worthwhile criticism).

While I am saddened by the support ending, I am still cautiously excited for June's updates as I fundamentally enjoy this game. I do hope that communication is maintained at this standard, because your response has been very enlightening and has answered many other questions I had, if not told me about 6.6 and 7.0.

I do have a few small questions, if that is alright w/ you.

Are uniform recolours/reworks still on track for May's update? Have there been any major changes since the last WIP check?

I don't believe there's been any significant revision since my last posting of them, and yes as far I know we'll see these changes in the May update, but lets wait for the Update notes to confirm that.

Would DICE consider incorporating insignia into German & British uniforms (existing in SP) with an updated uniform recolour/rework? This would be another positive change, and be good for the r/BattlefieldCosmetics community.

It would be good but its doubtful. We've stayed away from that type of stuff outside of the context of telling a story and that's likely to remain the case.

Would...

Hey /u/giveM1A1thompson -

In terms of sharing detail about what to expect for 6.6, and the subsequent Summer Update (7.0), we will absolutely share the detail as we get closer to each of their respective releases.

I'm with you 100% of the way on your message and request, and I know from reading the sub each and every day that this isn't a new request, its something that's shared by all folks here and has been for some time.

The reality of both mine and Jeffs work in this area is that we will not be in a position to engage on future releases until the release themselves have reached a stage where there's 100% confidence across the team that we say will ship, will ship, and will do so in the timeframe that's been indicated.

This approach won't solve your frustrations, it wo...

It does and you're right, its not the exact Konami code but it's in tribute of it.

Sorry to hear that you've had an issue with this. If you can privately message me your EA Help Case Number (and only this, 0 other detail), I can flag this with the Support Teams for further investigation and work to ensure that someone reaches back out to you.

If they haven't been able to solve it, the Konami code will force a reset of the UI and it may be helpful to get you back in

Our next update releases in early May. In the previous world, we would have had this out last week (by the latest).

Nothing new to share just yet. We're on course to deliver it on our expected timeline. Once we're locked on date, I can share that, and once the content and fixes for the update itself are confirmed as working as intended I can start to share that stuff too.

Its super dry period otherwise - 100% understanding the appetite for news but there's nothing new to share just yet beyond vagueness. Would rather have more substance and be able to back this stuff up with dates.

I'm just pleased you opted for LEGO for the meme instead of DUPLO

It's being tracked across EA by our network engineers. I'm encouraging that we get updates out to you via EA Help so stick them on follow and we'll let you know as soon as we have normality

Edit: Seeing strong signs of recovery now - may take a few more hours to remove any lingering issues but for the most part you'll be able to complete a login and connect back to the EA Servers...

Loving the rework. Them changing up the pouches to look more british. I hope they're adding the p37 pouches (like the ones on the sandman) to the long coat as well. But otherwise looks great imo.

I think it's Stanley, but I will volunteer that our dev environment has a few different behaviours so it's also possibly Gunther ;)

Posted an update on this here - https://twitter.com/PartWelsh/status/1245760867234447362

If you have purchased him, you'll find that his Unique Assignment is missing and that his Voice Over is not complete. This cannot be addressed until our next update.

If you have him, he won't be removed from your account. He'll be updated next month to the final version.
