[@blinqa5238]

I would like to see throwback Thursday's or Tuesday's where you go back and play some old battlefields. BFBC2 BF3 and BF4

[@spellingpolice4136]

No.

[@grizzlyspets1161]

Kaleb Cat good luck. both bfbc2 and b3 are full of dead servers

[@FelipeBorgesJF]

Why so negative? It's a good idea

[@Pentog808]

Eh it's just a troll ignore him

[@spellingpolice4136]

+Pentog did you just assume my gender?

[@carlbamford2486]

The trench periscope actually has a built in rangefinder. I use it to set myself up at the sweet spot range.

[@theultimategamer8537]

Carl Bamford me too

[@joshuasmith3445]

Carl Bamford i use it in combimation with iron sight bolt action alot il spot first an pick my targets without the glimer of the scope but targets over 150m gets preaty hard but i dont get spotted alot it works so far

[@raydiaz2772]

your good at scout man we should play

[@xirocastgaming4809]

You can also tell the distance of a target by using the trench periscope.

[@Alejandroperez-rj4dc]

XiroCastGaming really how? I use the periscope justo to see the enemy without peaking my head but i never knew how to see the meters

[@raulgarrs5489]

You have to mark them

[@whydoineedthisB]

XiroCastGaming on the right of the scope

[@mateotoro2395]

point at a guy, mark it and the distance will appear In the right side

[@mateotoro2395]

please like it so that he can see it

[@spellingpolice4136]

+Mateo Toro No.

[@jiggy17]

does it actually ?

[@theultimategamer8537]

jOkEr GamEr yeah it does

[@BendybangCrumbsnatch]

I watched him mark a few different guys in this video and I never saw any range numbers pop up anywhere. Do you mean you have to be looking through the scope to make it happen?

[@MrKerol94]

seriously..which server you join every time you play BF1, lvlcap? Your enemies literally either standing still or lying there prone like a log and taking their sweet ass time before decided to finally shoot at you.

[@rickyrocket]

he only uploads clips where he does really well. I guarantee theres a bunch of footage of him getting fucked up but obviously hes not gona upload that

[@MrGOLDENCUPCAKE1]

RcouRtn187 who wants to see that when he's trying to show off the weapon

[@Rxfael333]

Still, hes a pretty good player

[@Dasspapirfly]

Also, decent players often utilises flanks better so they catch enemies off guard. Positioning actually matters a lot in BF but most people often seems to brush it off as "Level/Matimi0/whatever always gets enemies that look the other way".

[@chrismanager9615]

They do get tards alot though. I can flank a whole squad and kill a couple and they will instantly find me. They do it and can make a fucking brew and cook a steak until the team actually works it out. I have played retards too but not as often. He is doing nothing special in some isntgances hence shy people say this.

[@christopherdean9684]

"Doughboy" American Infantry Load out Primary: M1903 Infantry Secondary: Doughboy 1911 Gadget One: Flare Gun Gadget 2: K-Bullets Melee: Spiked Club Or Shovel Grenade: Gas grenades in trench based maps, and Frag Grenades on anything else

[@theogbeaver]

There is no M1903 Infantry. You could take the Experimental, but he did a Loadout on that.

[@Dinoceratops]

TheNekoThatKnew Yeah, sadly. I wish they would add the M1903 Infantry. Even with the sweet-spot, it'd be nice.

[@ImParzelli]

christopher dean How the hell are you guys not using the Mars Automatic pistol as your back up in the scout class? The auto aim and damage on it is incredible. Martini Henry - Mars duo is the most deadly in the game!

[@theogbeaver]

I use the Mars! ( But the Kolibri with my Martini-Henry loadout )

[@briarcameron6050]

TheNekoThatKnew size doesn't matter 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MixedRealitySimRacing]

That suppression is really awkward integrated. Why don´t they let your sight shake around or tumble more if you are suppressed, that would be a lot more believing and easier to understand why you are missing and you could train to counter it. Now it´s hard to understand and totally random bullet spread even though you aimed perfectly. A bit frustrating when you think you have deserved a kill but a weird game mechanic says nope

[@gothamcitygoon2491]

I know right? If you're a sniper and you get surpressed you might as not have one, you can't shoot for shit.

[@38spl96]

While you are suppressed the scope sway is noticeable increase. this is the visual cue for suppression.

[@YZJerkz]

As far as my experience goes, on PS4 suppression makes the scope shake.

[@MixedRealitySimRacing]

yeah it´s only a cue, but it´s not the suppression itself, which is random bullet spread :-/ very misleading

[@YouCaughtCzars]

Marcel Pfister As someone who cut his teeth on the Red Orchestra 2 suppression mechanic, the Battlefield 1 mechanic just feels gentle at this point.

[@cwgobble]

Levelcap not knowing that the periscope is a rangefinder goes to show how little research goes into his videos.

[@TBAG]

I think the sweet spot mechanic is broken. I thought the sweet spot for the 1903 was 100-150 m ?

[@spellingpolice4136]

No.

[@SunriseReaper3]

Deffs is

[@theultimategamer8537]

TBag [Epic Battlefield 1 Content] it is you probably hit them in a limb

[@MrCheesyBaconBits]

Have been watching a few of your recent videos so this was a good upload time.

[@enriquedv353]

I actually like that the game doesn't explain a lot of the mechanics it makes it more interesting

[@exe700]

Trench periscope = Rangefinder. There is a gauge on the right side of the periscope that measures distance. Surprised no one ever mentions this?! Great way to know if you're positioned right for the sweet spot!

[@BlazeninjaBlznj]

The most powerful class ever. 1903 expiremental, koilbri, mini grenade, sniper decoy, flare gun flash, pickaxe

[@NutsandBoltsAuto]

Blazeninja111 Blznj111 lol

[@halfasoap1172]

I think it's worth mentioning that the Trench Periscope will give you a range on your targets. on the side of the scope is a meter with an arrow and a number displaying how far away the object under the cross is.

[@RichCommander]

Trench periscope is a rangefinder

[@anhpho]

Mines just shows infinity all the time.

[@ppaattpm]

EnmaAisha aim at the ground near them otherwise it thinks you are aiming at clouds

[@Animemaniacman]

Guys, the periscope tells you the exact distance between you and everything else. Don't use flags lol.

[@caponcrunch4217]

Random Guy it does? Thx

[@_useroffline]

Random Guy I still use flags. I find them very useful. Also helps if you wanna use a different gadget than the periscope.

[@bsmitty780]

Capon Crunch yes the trench periscope does tell u range

[@elrayado1228]

Random Guy So what do you want me to do?Pull it out to see if a guy is in good range for a 1 shot kill and then kill him?

[@pandasftw4756]

Emperor Palpatine Exactly

[@BlueMonsoonGG]

Level you can use the Trench Periscope as a rangefinder. When using it, you can see how far away something is, and find that sweet spot.

[@lynxord]

Good point. I'll have to roll with that when i use the 1903.

[@renerios1056]

RankUpGaming beat me to it. I use the trench periscope and the spot flare with the scout class. I use the Gewehr 98 Marksman for smaller maps in TDM and the 1903 for operations or TDM in Sinai desert. Medic classes are very OP if used properly as well.

[@lhpaoletti]

Rene Rios, actually, every class in BF1 is op if one uses them properly...

[@millhouse782]

RankUpGaming ^ true lmao I can drop 50 conquest kills pretty often with Hellriegel, Martini Henry is great too because it's so fun, Bar Storm is good, selbstader optical is good

[@JuliandeKoning]

Rene Rios huh? Is the Gewehr 98 Marksman for close range?

[@Henry-uv9xu]

There are a lot of inaccuracies with the Springfield in this game, the 30-06 Springfield cartridge has a higher muzzle velocity than the German 8mm Mauser the Gewehr M98 fires. Why then, does the Springfield have a lower bullet velocity than the Gewehr? Also, "high powered" optic for the Springfield M1903 was actually centered above the rifle in World War 1.

[@johnnywallows6369]

That's bf1 for ya

[@alecingram4669]

Kyo Kayne I agree. The 30-06 was very advanced as a cartridge and was much more powerful than any other at its time for a bolt action rifle. The Martini Henry 577/450 has about half the energy also. I do allot of shooting myself, rifle and shotgun, and live everything to do with guns. However it's not like they can keep a shooting game realistic because there would only be bolt guns, in the trenches and everything would be a one shot kill. They traded realism for fun, and as much as I like realistic games and get angry about how in true to life it is they made the right decision. No one realises how dangerous guns really are when they only play games. With years of experience I understand how they work and how dangerous they are.

[@shotgunsteve93]

Kyo Kayne in the game they probably made all the scopes off centered so the rifles can be loaded with stripper clips. Balances the reload time with other weapons. I don't like it, but oh well.

[@alecingram4669]

Steven I think that in ww1 they only used stripper clips for the smle with side scope and other bolt actions with no scope, all rifles with scopes were centred in the middle not a side scope so stripper clips weren't used, they were loaded one by one

[@alexperruci9524]

I think suppression should result in scope sway, not random spread. That way skilled players could still land shots, the effect would be more obvious and intuitive to new players, and nobody could be angry at shots inexplicably missing.

[@Turonaa]

There's another easier way to check the distance. It's using your minimap. You can change the distance in settings, you can then chose of 3 different zooms of your prefered setting. Let's assume that you set it at 200m, either through zooming or standard. Then at half way between you and the edge of the minimap is 100m. So as long as you got them spotted or flared, you can calculate the distance without flags or other objectives.

[@aregularnoob7897]

the trench periscope tells you how far away you are from whatever you're looking at. this will make your life easier if you wanna set yourself up at the "sweetspot" range.

[@MonkeyD.Najibb]

lol the trench periscope is hard to use,the zoom in that thing is insane,but it is very usefull things especially when you spot with it

[@swaglord7105]

+Ves Pula please always spot vehicles fam, as a dedicated bomber I need your guys's help.

[@youngmoneymulisha3]

Love the channel,good videos🤙🏼

[@62NOOBKILLA]

@LevelCap weapon Loadout- John Basilone set up. MG-08 (browning 1919) m1911 grenade (choose your own gadgets) You are the legendary John Basilone from the WW2 Pacific theater. You and your machine gun are at your primary position laying down fire then every thin stops then you hear the Japanese attacking your flank and you move to your supplementary position and start laying down fire and mowing down all Japanese coming your way.

[@frankster3374]

this video helped me out so much, because im new to bf1 so thank you

[@DeltaWolf1000]

With regards to suppression, why did DICE add a negative spread for LMGs, so you need to press and hold the trigger to gain accuracy, yet on some hold it for to long and they overheat? It's pretty frustrating

[@austinbishop1728]

DeltaWolf1000 i agree. support class is broken as of now

[@kripar7638]

And some guns in the support class don't even have that big of a magazine to hold down the trigger long enough so the spread will stabilize. And yeah, the overheating mechanic is pretty stupid aswell.

[@RUsOmaDDbrO]

DeltaWolf1000 imo its even more frustrating on the smg's

[@dominicjesus96]

DeltaWolf1000 exactly and the hellreigel as far as I know never over heats, neither does the Op MP18. Hate how assault gets all the OP weapons and is better than support when it comes to full auto. Don't get me wrong I can wreck with support, but that MP18 user comes along and I just bend over and take it.

[@Stormfail]

Dom Anthony Jesus the mp18 is trash compared to the automatico. No offense but its dps is trash so u gotta do better man

[@theredpriest7242]

Another way to tell how far someone is to have the periscope. It will tell you exactly how far someone is and I find it really helpful when I'm playing a game mode with out the flags

[@rooney1412000]

Very good gameplay man!

[@ziyaoyang321]

really thought Level is gonna get a triple collateral kill there 9:18. So close so close. Nice Vid man as always

[@BenneBG]

You can also use the mini map to judge distance press N to change meter zoom gives you a rough idea

[@johnkuckelman2661]

Great vid levelcap

[@thewfmanray6135]

John Kuckelman haven't even watched the whole damn thing

[@vexxdk]

Set your minimap to 200. then from the middle to the edge there will be 100m. Bam! you got your kill window

[@bulletsftw3655]

You can also use the Parascope for figuring out distance. That's what I use. I love the parascope because I can hide behind cover and find stationary targets without exposing myself, especially with the sniper glint.

[@ethanroselle8752]

if you use the trench parascope it has a little thing on the right hand side

[@dirtbikehustler8496]

Good vid man!

[@oj-9994]

You havent even seen it yet...

[@Thoraxe555]

you talk about there is only "one way" to gauge the distance you are from enemies and that's to look at nearby flags... meanwhile throughout the entire gameplay we can all see those 3 little dashes on the left side of your scope.. yeah those are range finders. You put your target into those 3 different heights and see if their entire body can fit within the dash and the middle line of your scope. If they fit in the smallest one its, they are 300 meters away and then 150 and 75 respectively .That's what those 3 lines are for.

[@GucciManecubus]

Thoraxe555 Finally someone else knows.

[@wesleyave1791]

Thoraxe555 wow didn't know that, thanks!

[@snvcchs]

Thanks for that little tip

[@GucciManecubus]

The Hash Slinging Slasher Oh I'll give you a little tip...

[@snvcchs]

LOCO808 I'm sorry to hear that

[@Undead447]

The spotting scope actually has a range finder in the bottom right corner. I didnt know this for a while but if you dont have any flags near you you can use it to get some kind of reference

[@ims0deranged]

There's a range finder on the periscope. Sometimes it will glitch-out though and always stay at zero meters. The only graphic they give you to know the 'sweet spot' of each rifle is on the loadout menu, so you have to decipher what that means or just experiment with them in-game.

[@jonasamna]

Nice information and thoughts on the sniper class, What are your DPI and ingame sensitivity for the sniper class? Do you have different sensetivitys or just a default for every class ?

[@stackbrass1278]

@levelcap there is also another way to tell how far an enemy is. The trench periscope shows you the range on a slider on the right of the gadget while in use

[@corey8084]

glad to know that I'm not crazy when I feel the sniping is very different from previous games. I didn't realize what it was but I'm glad you explained it. Another thing I've noticed is that I have a lot of trouble seeing where the bullets are actually hitting when I'm trying to get my range to adjust for drop off. previous games I didn't have any problem with this so I don't know if it's the game or if it's the fact that I'm now gaming on a 21:9 monitor with the game only at 16:9 resolution (ps4) but not being able to see the bullet hitting definitely makes things tough.

[@L3benslage]

Hey. So where do you explain the supression system? Sounds like something I should know before running a sniper next time.

[@stephengreenhalgh3843]

British officer loadout main weapon:none sidearm:automatic revolver gadget 1: bandage pouch gadget 2: none grenade: smoke grenade melee weapon: standard knife you are an officer in the British army. time to think tactically. use the pouch to heal your men and use the smoke grenade to cover you and your men's advances. levelcap keep up the great work.

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

This weapon took some getting used to after using the scoped Winchester for so long, but it was worth it. Every kill with it feels like justice being served in a gritty horror film.

[@WarMachinex55]

Hey levelcap I noticed in the last patch that they gave the binoculars a range finder mechanic. I used to use it when I played with no scope snipers but now it helps to find exactly where your sweet spot is

[@adityaawasthi7694]

THIS GUY IS A BEAST HE MAKES THINGS LOOK SO EASY

[@chaz2065]

I love the mars automatic side arm for the scouts. Great weapon.

[@jshockey34]

Hey Level, Pardon my ignorance if you have already done this video but do you have a vid on some of your settings for mouse, aiming etc. Love the great vids! Thanks!

[@jbreedveld]

With the scout spottool you can easily spot any distance to every object in the game

[@kyle4931]

great video

[@invisibledude11]

Levelcap I don't know if this was asked already but what settings do you run in regards to aiming? I play on ps4 if that makes a difference

[@tovilsensei6483]

I saw that sly cut at 2:10 Level, you ain't slick

[@MuzzoWolf]

I usually run this rifle to cover point B from point A and vice versa in operations, and it works if you are both attacking or defending. The cap points are usually 100 meters away from each other (so it's perfect for the sweet spot...yet sometimes the G98 works better, depends on the map)and so you can snipe people from the side, most of the time having your body and rifle covered by a wall, making you an invisible assassin for those poor souls that end up in your field of view. It's not aggressive sniping but allows you to clear medics and assault troops trying to jump on your team mates while keeping yourself safe from enemy eyes as well :D

[@2-tone180]

you can use the trench periscope for range it shows the range when you look trough it

[@pandasftw4756]

you can also use periscope on camping enemys or prone enemys to find the distance between you and the enemy

[@samcocking6523]

Another good way to rangefind is to set your minimap distance. I was using the SMLE with a map radius of 75 meters and if the enemies were within the outer half of the MM I instantly knew I could OHK them

[@Davrin]

I use the flare and the trench pariscope the pariscope is good for concealing yourself while spotting

[@TheChapaloepa]

There is a distant marker on your sniper scope and you can use the trench periscope the figure out the distance.

[@TophatOrange]

LevelCap what DPI + ingame mousse setting do you use, and do you switch DPI when you are sniping? (and what setting if so)

[@alexmclean2872]

U can kinda use the periscope: it gives you how far away something is on the side.

[@DarkAngelZz59]

I have a realistic question to ask: why does the lense of the scope look black when not aiming down sights?

[@picklenick2]

you know the trench peroscope (think I spelled that wrong) tells you the range right?

[@1MantisPhoenix]

Epic skill :) superior speed - and vision;

[@1MantisPhoenix]

Tell me, vision wise, what settings are best to detect edges, no anti aliasing or ambient occlusion?

[@grenademan2003]

Still mad I didn't get that c93 general skin and I got stuck with the chancellor

[@causingchaos2765]

Use the trench periscope, and when zoomed in look on the right, it says how far you are from where you are shooting.

[@teddybeddy123]

What magnifications would be best for the different rifles to cater to the sweet spots?

[@kamikaze_kobe1208]

You can also use the trench periscope to judge how far away you are from your enemy to help you find your weapons sweet spot.

[@Almonzo246]

I would like to know how do you put your re-scale your minimap like that?

[@sinappanis]

I wish I could use both types of flares. The K bullets are nice but I find I don't use them very often when I'm playing alone as I have to really coordinate to make them most effective. I think the blinding flare could have some cool uses on some maps to help push into areas.

[@mre1995]

Best thing about the m1903 is that it has the least bullet drag, giving it the most consistent muzzle velocity out of all the rifles. People seem to just disregard that stat even though it's so impactful.

[@Gage2002ful]

what are your thoughts on them bringing back Air Superiority like bf4? love to hear your opinion

[@iota-09]

thereare precisely 4 ways to correctly judge distance in this game: 1:objective distance 2:spotting scopes 3:marksman bonus point=distance 4:minimap radius

[@BucksOG]

can you do the martini henry next. i am aiming right on the enemy but am constantly missing. its frustrating.

[@yournamehere9928]

He already did a video on the Martini Henry.

[@sylo4761]

you can use the periscope for the distance.on the right it shows you how far away the thing is what you are looking for.

[@juan_o_4862]

What's your opinion on the C93 levelcap? Is it worth it?

[@PlaneCereal]

Use the experimental variant for iron sights. In a recent update they made it act like the general Liu rifle

[@SirRobertSpriggs]

What sensitivity do you have it at? Is it better to have low or high sensitivity when sniping?

[@ladif0133]

It's My Birthday and Good Vid man !

[@r3ndering819]

levelcap give this man a shoutout!

[@beepbopbookbeep3781]

Patout1234 Happy birthday!

[@_useroffline]

Happy Birthday!

[@ladif0133]

Thx Guys !:)

[@zachreid8680]

3:28 Wrong. You can use the zeroing mechanic built into most rifles. With this rifle, set your zero to 150 and if you hit someone where you were aiming, that's the extent of your range. Now keep that zero at 150 forever and when there's someone nearby, aim slightly below them.

[@2010Failbrids]

There actually is a rangefinder on the scope on the far left. If the target is smaller than the first dash its farther than either 75m or 100m i cant remember which

[@DarkThomy]

Little question's here but, does the trench binocular glows for ennemy ?

[@Shywer]

Awaiting Squad orders! :D DOn't forget em!

[@shockwave6213]

I find myself gravitating towards the revolver sidearms. Despite the slow reload, I love the 2 shot kills up close.

[@taylorglasson1313]

What is the magnification? Using the default on makes it hard to track people in medium ranges at least to me.

[@edenjimbo1459]

+LevelCapGaming you can use v to edit your scope and you see the distance

[@MrPvtBacon]

please explain the clipping in this game because i miss so many shots and have nades bounced back for no reason

[@GreatSchema]

how do you decide when to cycle the distance zeroing?

[@Criiies]

You forgot to mention the best part of this rifle; the sexy bolt animation.

[@professormohawk1]

hey, so i have always wonder this since bullets can go thru a person and kill another, what happens when a round goes the arm and hits the chest? like, if the arm does 10, and the chest 60, logic would dictate that it would do 70, cuz if that same round would hit someone else in the head, it would kill. i played since BF3 and have always wondered why it didnt seem like this happens any idea why?

[@ToadrixAce]

is there a way to make the bayonet charge turn radius smaller?

[@JourneymanJohn]

I'm just starting to get used to leading moving targets in this game. My guess is that you just have to get used to the feel of it but if you have any actual tips it would be good to have a video on that.

[@LuciusAugustusRex]

That M1911 is just perfect

[@tocinogrande1668]

LevelCap finally gets to the best sniper in the game... The M1903!!!

[@brocstauffer4204]

Are there any negatives to the bayonet? Or, should I run it on every gun?

[@heroncarson503]

You can use the spotting scope for range finding

[@thegamingcouchpotato116]

You should do the lout out of an Australian soldier this load out is the SMLE mk 3 infantry with either the automatic revolver or m1911 with grenade flare and k bullet Like if u agree and think level cap should do this

[@theultimategamer8537]

THE GAMING COUCH POTATO you can't use the auto revolver for scout

[@iAmTeesmo]

THE GAMING COUCH POTATO that's boring.

[@genericusername6644]

THE GAMING COUCH POTATO Good idea

[@charlescrechei3260]

If you use the trench periscope wherever you look it shows you the exact range

[@BoggWeasel]

I like the slight random factor that snipers don't get 100% kill every time.It's already a very annoyingly effective class as it is, thank you Dice, don't change it.

[@bmstacks5292]

yo level how useful are the k bullets? I feel like they're a bit useless

[@villaphd7125]

nice sniping gameplay
