Game Settings

First of all Settings, in order to improve our Gameplay we all have to tweak the settings abit for better results

• find the Mouse sensitivity and Field Of View (FOV) that suits you, keep testing till you find that perfect FOV and sensitivity that makes you perform better.
  
• go to OPTIONS>GAMEPLAY>ADVANCED>CAMERA SHAKE SCALE and set it on (lowest 30%) this will make the screen shakes less when hit by an explosions so you can't lose focus or Aim during firefights.
  
• Optional but helpful go to OPTIONS>GAMEPLAY>BASIC>HIT INDICATOR and set a Headshot Color during firefights specially 1v1 situations knowing how much damage you dealt is crucial for your next move either finish the enemy off if his HP is lower then you or run/retreat if your HP is lower.
  
• go to OPTIONS>VIDEO>BASIC and set Weapons Dof (Depth of field) to OFF and Motion Blur to lowest (0%) this will impact the game significantly thus making the game looks much clearer without Blur and much easier to see and spot enemies specially when Scoping
  
• go to OPTIONS>VIDEO>ADVANCED and set all graphic settings to LOW except MESH QUALITY set it on Ultra if possible and Turn Anti-Aliasing post and Ambient Occlusion to Off its an optional thing to do reducing the graphics to make seeing and spoting enemies much much easier without all effects and other distracting things also improve FPS.
  
• go to OPTIONS>GAMEPLAY>MINIMAP>ON FOOT ZOOM RADIUS and set it to 149 or 151 (dice hate the number 150 lol) this will make the minimap zoom abit while on Foot thus its easier to notice enemies and knowing their exact location.
  
• go to OPTIONS>CONTROLS>ADVANCED>UNIFORM SOLDIER AIMING and set it to ON this hidden little setting will makes different weapons's scopes sensitivities while aiming down sights kind feel similar to each other it is a huge setting to getting used to weapons scopes

Infantry Soldiers Tips

Now we proceed to some tips for Infantry Soldiers(while playing on foot)

• Always Spot Enemies!, spam the spot button whenever you can, it is crucial for you and your team to have info in both minimap and screen about enemies's Health,classes, locations, vehicles type ...ect
  
• if you want to traverse terrain quickly specially for retreating, changing cover or while under fire use Bayonet Charge for extra speed.
  
• during a 1v1 firefight make sure you use uncommon tactics like strafing left or right and crouch and stand or even go prone to making aiming at you harder.
  
• use Melee Weapon during close quarters fights, it is more efficient than reloading or switching weapons.
  
• PRE-AIM before walking to a Corner to React quicker and kill camping enemies before they get you.
  
• PRE-FIRE before walking to a Corner if you're sure/have info on Minimap that there is an enemy camping specially if you have Slow firerate weapon.
  
• Don't Sprint All times Sprinting all times will make you an easy target for obvious reasons like loud footsteps or slow aiming after sprint,learn when to Sprint and when to move normally to avoid dying blindly to campers specially if you're in the Attackers team.
  
• PRESETS, make different Builds for all classes for different situations,Maps or game mode
  
• Melee someone from the back gets a 1 hit kill but be aware it doesn't work on someone who is using FieldGun or Mortar they can counter attack you and kill you so just shoot them when you get the chance.
  
• While Sprinting you can go PRONE (helps turning off the fire faster if you're burning) or SLIDE (pressing crouch while sprinting while make you slide it is useful for peaking corners as enemies don't expect you to slide over a corner and their Crosshair will not be on you directly so you can peak quickly and get some kills then go back or advance).
  
• while shooting moving enemies make sure to Aim where the target is moving and not directly at him if you have LOW VELOCITY WEAPON
  
• BURST FIRE and TAP FIRE are effective for most weapons except Support class's weapons the longer you shoot the more accurate it gets at the cost of weapon ovverheating.
  
• use FieldGun, Anti-Aircraft gun and Mounted Machine gun when needed.
  
• be aware of destructible terrain it can gets you killed (fun fact its one of the few ways you can team kill/friendly fire in BF1).
  
• Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading.
  
• NEVER STAND STILL OPEN AREAS...

Assault Class 💥 Tips

Tips for the Assault Class

Assault class soldier is most versatile class due to his KIT (SMGs and Shotguns) that promotes close quarters combat, pushing, flanking, as ANTI-TANK specialist you access to all explosive gadgets, including Anti-Tank Grenade, Anti-Tank Mine, Dynamite, AT and AA Rocket Gun.

• Assault's Weapons are a matter of choice. Play the game test and try the weapons and decide what suits you best. if you only go for META weapons then use :
  
• BEST Submachine Guns (SMGs) :
  
  

  MP18 Trench

  
  

  SMG 08/18

  
  

  Hellriegel 1915

  
  

  RIBEYROLLES 1918

  
  
• BEST Shotguns :
  

  Model 10-A Hunter

  
  
• PRE-SETS, make presets according to maps and modes for example having anti tank mines in a mode with no tanks at all or inside a BUNKER some small maps.
  
• don't stick to one weapon, some weapons perform well but in different maps they don't so change weapons according to your situation for example don't bring a shotgun in an open map.
  
• As an anti tank specialist DON'T IGNORE TANKS its your duty to destroy them or at the very least slow them down. Tanks dominate the soldiers in almost all situations so they are your main priority.
  
• if you want to deal most damage possible to a TANK then go for the Rear (back) to deal as much damage as possible (tanks tank less damage from the front and more from the back).
  
• ANTI TANK MINE + Light Anti-Tank Grenade Combo ! if you find yourself close to a TANK and you have Anti tank mine and Light Anti-Tank Grenade equipped then quickly put down a MINE as close to the tank as possible and move backwards and throw a Light Anti-Tank Grenade at the tank the direct impact will cause the mine to explode and deal tremendous damage even destroying weaker smaller Tank directly (you can shoot at the mine to make it explode when having no Light Anti-Tank Grenades)
  
• AT Rocket Gun shoots low velocity exploding projectiles which means in order to hit a far target aim up a little and not directly because the projectile will travel lower the more distance traveled, also the AT Rocket Gun have alot of utilities from Destroying tanks (even planes sometimes) and Behemoths, Building, locked Iron Doors, some destructible Things in some maps like the mountain bridge in desert, foot soldiers and even Sniping the snipers thanks to the AT Rocket Gun long distance capability.
  
• AT Rocket Gun shots can Ricochet (Projectiles fired at extreme angles at tanks have a chance of deflecting the projectile elsewhere and dealing greatly reduced damage) and to prevent that from happening don't shoot the AT Rocket Gun at the angles of a tank but aim and shoot directly at center.
  
• Put the ANTI TANK MINES in ROADS that TANKS most likely to follow. and put them behind a distracted enemy tank if possible and damage the tank with other gadgets because most TANKERS go backwards when their tanks get low so they activate the mines also put them close to each other as some tanks have emergency repair when they step on a mine they use it and keep retreating backwards to fix and that's when the second mine comes and finish the low tank off.
  
• HIDE your ANTI TANK MINES by throwing some grenades at the ground to make big HOLES and put the MINE inside it, most of tanks go through holes directly without being able to spot the mine inside it.
  
• Be aggressive sometimes, Unlike snipers and medics that have slow and safe play style assault is better pushing and moving alot then camping atleast in most situations .

• Throw a smoke and go for revive ! if your teammate died in an open area or a unsafe corner and you don't want to die while trying to revive him you can throw a smoke grenade at the dead body and rush to rescue him safely.

Hey, nice guide !

I would ad something improtant IMO, thought : Understand that this game has a not common mechanic which is that damage drop with distance. And precision ofc, but it is more common.

Which mean if with an assault, you engage a medic which is 50 meter away ; you'll basically deal 0 damage while he'll 3 tap you with no effort.

But at the contrary, if you roam the trenches with your "Automatico Trench", everyone appearing at 15 meter or less will disappear as fast as he appeared !

So... RESPECT YOUR RANGE OF ENGEMENT DEPENDING YOUR CLASS/WEAPON. More than other FPS, or even other BF, BF1 is about knowing the field of possible actions regarding what weapon you have.

We can also underline the mechanic of "sweet spot" for snipers rifle ; which illustrate well this principle IMO.
