Players will no longer be overly slowed down prior to using throwable gadgets and weapons, such as Grenades, Throwing Knives, Ammo/Bandages, and Crates. Similarly, self healing actions will no longer interrupt sprinting.
Big if true
Very true :) Those were annoying me quite a lot as well!
This annoyed me very hard as most time medic. Hope this works as intended
You'll let me know tomorrow :D
Also while the medic is getting some love, the speed boost perk seems to have stopped working lately.
I fixed it, will be back to functional in 4.6 :)
Thank you for commenting on this.
Related, it seems that when a medic/squadmate enters a vehicle, the distance indicator stops updating properly and points to where the player was the moment they got inside the vehicle, instead of their actual position in real-time. This can result in the indicator saying a medic/squadmate is sitting 1m from you when in reality they're long gone, and vice versa.
Interesting, will look at it.
We're looking at it with /u/lylb1t so expect to see a fix for it in a future update :)
BFV has such an amazing movement system.

I want to see my friends pings and my own ping VERY BRIGHT when I look at them or ADS. So I know where the ping actually is.
This used to be a thing a few patches ago but they changed that, now when I look at my friends ping or own ping it's almost completely gone and I have trouble finding the ping. I have looked into all the game settings but there is no setting for this. Can they please return this to the way it was?
I'll fix it and add some opacity options :)

I'm more curious about the black crosshair color. Why.
Sniper & tank spotting scopes seem to function again, although they seem a bit sluggish about acquiring targets - I'll take that over "not working entirely" or "can only spot within spitting distance". Airplane spotting cameras seem to be sluggish and inconsistent. When picking up infantry it's as if random small ground clutter is blocking line-of-sight or there are inconsistent range gaps that won't show targets (not sure how best to word that, I can pick them up when very close or very far but only 50/50 success at medium ranges). It's odd because the camera seems to spot vehicles with eagle accuracy regardless of range or ground clutter.
I am currently working on improving this so expect that to get some fixes for a future update (spotting consistency + displaying of spotted icons in various cases, especially from airplanes).

Props to our 3D Artist that added this! :)
Yep, same issue :)

So that's why I had several 5 or 15 hits on transport vehicles even though I had 3 mines on the ground?
Mines are so underwhelming, I really struggle to get kills with them if I don't go yolo behind tanks.
Hopefully it's fixed now
Yes this is what was happening before, it would detonate too early meaning it would damage only at the edge of the blast radius == low damage.
"adjusted" what does that mean? In terms of the bullet penetration damage. Increased? Decreased? Just stating it's adjusted doesn't tell us much, especially with something like this. Should I give up on trying to shoot people through walls, or has it become more viable?
It has been increased and can now penetrate more materials. For Bolt Action Sniper Rifles, they have the potential to kill with a single headshot through a lot more materials now. It is obviously not as good as the AT Material Rifles.
Hey Florian, nice to read your comments! :)
Not a game developer, but it looks like a game has a crazy amount of moving parts to keep track of, huh?
Indeed, Battlefield V is more things to keep in check than ever before :)
This!..... "Fixed a bug that would in some cases cause top gunners to not take any damage from Infantry"
Thank you, that was winding me up no end!
This wasn't an easy one but glad that it is fixed now :)
