Battlefield 1 - The BAR M1918: "More Than A Trench"

Battlefield 1's weapon variant system can sometimes force a mindset of how to use a specific weapon. While Trench variants are more effective at hipfiring, don't forego aiming down the sights altogether! It's good practice to understand how your preferred weapon performs both from the hip and using its sights. The BAR Trench is still plenty capable of delivering painful volleys to foes outside of close range - it's just a little bouncier than the Storm variant.
Similarly, Argonne Forest is a standout close quarters map - but it still has plenty of opportunities for long-range gunfights on more open points like C and D.

This weapon alone made me a support main, controllable recoil with good DPS make it extremely dominant in mid-range, being a trench variant also allow it to put up some decent fights against assaults.

one of the strongest base game weapons

The BAR is within my top 5 favorite weapons in the whole game. Although my preference is with the storm variant, the trench variant can be a lot of fun especially in the bunkers or even using in long range fights.

Nice intro, don't hesitate to add more commentaries to your videos. BTW, have you done something to the sound in the footage itself? It sounds really... off. Just sounds really compressed, and BAR itself sounds weird, with some echo or something I can't exactly describe, but it's unfortunately quite unpleasant.

I appreciate the feedback! It's the same audio post-processing I've been using with my BF1 videos for years now, a combination of an exciter, imager, EQ and maximiser. The only thing I can think of is the combination of the BAR and the map - don't think I've had a BAR-focused video in Argonne yet (with this workflow at least) and when I listen to the raw footage there is a bit of echo/reverb on the gun because of the overall ambience.

[@Lefiath]

@@Foddeur That's interesting. You can check some of my BAR clips, it sounds totally different (I'm just using simple external sound card). Maybe the weapons sound different map to map, but I doubt the difference would be that big - I've been watching BF1 videos for years (yours as well) and it's just audio in this one that felt really... rugged I guess. The echo of the gunshots really doesn't sound good.

Did you speed up the video, that's awfully fast for a BAR?

[@Foddeur]

Nope - didn't speed up the video (unless there's a portion where I sped up a bit of downtime between fights, but those are easy enough to spot with the in-game timer and audio speeding up too). The BAR M1918 fires at 600RPM in Battlefield 1. A slower-firing variant of the BAR can be found in the M1918A2 variant which was released as part of a preorder bonus (and later EA play benefit, I think?) for Battlefield V.

​@@FoddeurMight be the audio, it sounds crunchier so it's giving me the impression it's faster here.
