200 KILLS - INSANE BOMBER GUNNER GAME - Battlefield 1

A single 64-man Operations bomber gunner game on PC. Three rounds of defense on Fao Fortress totaling 202 kills.
Given that this video has been seeing a lot of traffic lately, I thought I'd address some common questions I am seeing on not only this video, but on threads like the Kotaku article that probably brought you here.
Many people are questioning how I can see the enemies on the ground. You have to understand that source video quality is compressed once uploaded to KZbin. As a result, enemies in trenches or behind cover might not seem as obvious to the viewer. In addition, I am running a 144hz monitor paired with a GTX 1070 and Directx12 enabled. I play at ultra graphics and with all shaders enabled. I usually run the game at approximately 100 fps at all times and with an increased brightness on my monitor. These, combined with the 3D-spotting mechanic in BF1, allow me to easily track and shoot at targets with the bomber gunner position.
I have been coordinating with friends in aerial vehicles since the Bad Company 2 days. My same friend in this video always flew attack helicopters and I gunned for him. I perfected gunning in helicopters in Battlefield 3, as I was #1 on Xbox 360 for UH-1Y Venom (the transport helicopter) kills in the United States. So, as you can see, when I picked up Battlefield 1 and discovered the bomber had a gunner position, I was essentially a natural at it.
Lastly, I was around #30 in the world across all platforms for bomber kills before receiving an unwarranted ban from EA's FairFight. I've used the gunner position so much now that it may seem like I am "aimbotting," as so many viewers have claimed me to be. The thing is, I know exactly how to lead and position the cursor to account for gravity in BF1. Also, the bomber gunner does 22 direct damage to enemies (or if the rounds land incredibly close). So, you'll see me firing 5 shots and quickly switching targets because I know the target I just fired at is going to die.
Hopefully, this convinces you. If not, I genuinely hope that you reconsider your opinion. I hope to be back playing this game in the future.

Literally the second I get into a bomber I just get assblasted by AA guns from all sides

[@Gurra010]

i feel ya :/

[@mrcomets25]

Trevor Leach assblasted lol

[@450asg]

That´s why you play operations. No stationary AA´s, just 2 vehicle spawns and 2 planes. Of course the ship rolls in with AA on it but as you can see here, you can manage that =)

[@MrJordzrules]

there are loads of AA on that map ? I've played it tons of times, after the first objectives are taken

[@450asg]

I meant more like that people aren´t using them. They rather camp at the ridges, or just go for the objective. Then at then end not knowing how the hell someone got over 200 kills with the bomber.

[@barkbobber7634]

Really great flying from the pilot. Reminds me of a BF3 Transport chopper, or a controllable AC130. He did a great job of calling out targets and giving his gunner great angles.

[@whatfreedom7]

Bark Bobber yeah I use to be good at piloting the choppers in Bad company 2. Just kept it stable and pointed toward the enemy. These new guys in BF1 holy shit they cant fly. I've tried to shoot and they are all over the place and you can't even aim with all that sharp turning and flipping. I try to give them straighter runs and slow down when I'm near an objective .

[@Tommybotham]

First thing I thought of was an AC-130 also. Really great flying and teamwork

[@thedog367]

Dope shit

[@cjb444220]

as impressive as the gunner was... the pilot was fucking amazing. you can't hit shit when you have a pilot who doesn't know wtf he's doing . he gave the gunner some great angles. amazing job both of you guys

[@ZechsMerquise73]

That and the spotters on the ground. All the games I want to play air, nobody spots.

[@TheMilitaryPilots]

This is exactly how batllefield 1 should be played , the communication is very important but 90% of the players do not communicate with each other, the pilot flies very well and the gunner very nice jobe continue like this , if i see you in game ill cover your 6👍🏻

[@dannykoppelaar]

thats one of the reasons i dont play bf1 that often. I dont have a team to play with because almost all of my friends stick to cod.

[@BlueLynx1904]

^ Then make friends online, that's what I have to do because no one I know that has a good PC plays battlefield 1

[@dannykoppelaar]

There are enough games that I do play with my friends on pc. games like dead by daylight, rocket league, the forest, civilization 5 etc. .

[@SirBuljo]

Fuck regular communication, squad related voice com is the way to go.

[@ZechsMerquise73]

The system doesn't allow it. The comms in BF should work exactly like the game Squad. Instead, it's a decentralised mess.

[@JoshHenry98]

This game is built to create multiple effective strategic plays and such, it doesn't make sense to get banned for actually knowing strategy, in simpler terms, if you know how to play, the results will be amazing

[@jdz3394]

To all the idiots in the comments saying you are glad he got banned and he is a cheater or not good. are you fucking blind these guys are very skilled they have good call outs and just crazy teamwork in general. plus you see this dude's aim it's pretty damn impressive

[@jdz3394]

don't get mad because you guys are ass at this game it's not like COD with all you squeakers playing it. this game takes a lot of skill as have the previous battlefields. it seperates the cod kids from the older skilled players who play battlefield and don't want to deal with you Rugrats

[@Laudrengen]

Vids like this will make people scream and moan about the OP gunner seat on the bomber. Then when they try it themselves they will fail utterly and die a little inside as they realise they are just bad at the game.

[@d3x-dt3]

I found it surprising that there was no sight a Fighter using the anti-bomber load-out, as that was THE PERFECT INSTANCE TO USE IT. Jeez, or maybe be I shouldn't be surprised. Darn it, Blueberries!

DICE really needs to rethink their anti cheating program. In theory, can start out with mediocre stats such as SPM and then find a group of players whom you can really communicate with and all of a sudden you get a string of games where you do ridiculously well, Fairfight calls BS and boom you're banned. Meanwhile, dbags who pay for actual hacks go pretty much unnoticed by Fairfight so long as they don't pass a certain SPM. Hats off to Spartanhoplite and crew for having actual skill and amazing teamwork, you guys are awesome.

[@thegarbanzo]

[@petehassett617]

I got banned today from a game because I went 61-0 in a fighter plane. The other team reported me for hacking although I was literally just dropping the darts on the flags in operations. I don't see how you can just become banned from the game midway through. It's very annoying

[@spartanhoplite3426]

This doesn't surprise me. I've had to stop using the bomber in Operations because of this. I have another video similar to your situation. Just keep your eyes peeled.

kudos to that pilot for not flying like an idiot. this is the only reason he was able to decimate the enemy team. great teamwork and forget the haters. they obviously weren't paying attention to the shots you were missing and how you shot at boats when no one was in them, which wouldn't happen with hacks.

[@Kailenrulzu]

i have to admit i'm not a bad gunner i do well but i can tell this isn't true aim as it keeps waving between different targets and snapping onto targets not marked, the pilot was really good props to him. Also 200+ kills on a not full server is just stupid.

[@n_breezy8427]

does that mg have some exploding bullets? like the attack plane does? ive never used the bomber

[@spartanhoplite3426]

Toxiic Phantom Yes the front-mounted gun on the bomber is a high-explosive cannon. It's anti-infantry, but does decent damage to all tanks except for the heavy tank (there is a lot of ricochet). It is practically the same weapon on the attack plane, but I like to think it has less projectile drop.

[@gericon2855]

The bomber is just op. You don't have to be as good as him, but you only need a lil bit of practice to figure out how the physics work and then you'll make quite a decent gunner. With the bomber-mg it's like shooting with smaller tank shells.

[@spartanhoplite3426]

I wouldn't necessarily call the bomber overpowered. After all, it takes 3 people to maximize the efficiency and destructibility of the bomber. I do see where you are coming from though, as it is very easy to rack up kills in the front seat. At the same time, when the enemy team pulls 2 anti-air artillery trucks, we get locked down rather easily. I'm happy to see you are informed regarding the front bomber seat. A lot of people do not know that the front seat is a cannon and not a normal machine gun.

[@RealCadde]

The splash damage needs (needed?) a nerf in this video. That or the rate of fire. But all that's beside the point, it's in the game, it's legit. No-one can complain about it as both teams have the exact same bomber and the ability to squad up. That's like complaining about a whole squad raping the game using pistols only. TEAMWORK wins games.

Yes, there is substantial splash damage.

[@justinsimpson2335]

It sucks that people get banned for "cheating" when the other team just had to focus their attacks on the bomber to bring it down. These guys used teamwork to be effective, which is what the other team needed a little more of to shoot the bomber down.

[@Eggmanjames]

That’s a great gamer tag for someone who is that good 🧐

[@ashish6114]

So basically FairFight is banning people for actually playing well. So in this context the entire MLG scene would be one big criminal enterprise filled with hackers with no skill in FairFight's perspective. Also I fail to understand how it is justified that Fairfight bans you just because you got a score which is hypothetically impossible for the average player. So basically if you are better than the average player then you're penalised by FairFight for that. Therefore they effectively restrict your gameplay to what THEY THINK it should be instead of actually checking for evidences of foreign code in the game files of the suspected hacker's system. Some lazy employee came up with the lazy idea of letting a bunch of kids play the game sloppily and setting that as the benchmark for whether you are hacking or not and FairFight has never looked back ever since. Perform better than pre pubescent kinds then you ought to be a hacker. That's FairFight logic for you. Honestly EA and DICE shouldve gone for punkbuster or something instead of FairFight, because FairFight is killing the Battlefield community and the Battlefield experience.

You all should blow this up on reddit, since i think the most valuable persons read it and maybe devs will change so you don´t get banned just because you "mimic a cheater"... If you haven´t already of course. I send a message to all kinds of users and support-staff at least once a week in order to force their attention. I think if you did too, their flawed system could be changed. Most people spend up to 100$+ on these games only to be harassed by a broken "Cheat detection", and that´s not how it should work at all.

that turret gun on the bomber, has like a sort of splash dmg to it, I used the same one thats on a boat and took advantage of the fog on that map to set a boat out a distance from the B flag and arc the turret to be able to rain hell on the enemy, that turret bullets have a sort of splash dmg, you don't have to completely hit a person, they will take dmg from the bullets cause of the impact they will do very nearby the person.
