The lMG-08 is the best LMG in the game, because if you reload with 13 rounds remaining, it plays a twinkly music box sound effect. Really cool easter egg, and one of the few secret reloads that can be consistently activated. It deserves S-tier just for that!
Just gonna add that iirc this only works with the 200 round variant (before anyone spends hours trying to get the secret reload with the wrong variant)

The Chauchat wasn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. It sure wasn't a cakewalk, 8mm Lebel in open sided magazines in the middle of a trench is not a good idea, but for a time when lightweight man portable machine guns were few and far between it was an admirable attempt to design one. French doctrine also had yet to catch up with how to properly use it, and at least by the end of the war they got a hold on how to deploy them, issuing close-sided magazines to small mobile groups of soldiers where they could be used most effectively. A lot of the issues that tarnished its reputation come from the American .30-06 version, which compounded a lot of the pre-established issues the original had ten-fold. When converting the Chauchat from the Metric measured 8mm Lebel to the Imperial .30-06, miscalculations trying to convert between the two systems resulted in the longer American round never properly seating into the chamber and having feeding problems near constantly. Stovepipe jams, failure to feed, casings being blown apart inside the chamber, the issues never ended. What few modified Chauchats did end up in the G.I.'s hands were almost instantly swapped out for the 8mm Lebel version because even if the original's reliability was questionable it was still leagues better than what the US tried making. In the inter-war period, as Chauchats were available in surplus, Belgium purchased a sum of the rifles and converted them into the 1915/27 variant, rechambering them for 7.65 Mauser with a straight solid magazine and dust covers absolutely anywhere that dirt could be introduced. What resulted of it was what many consider the be the most consistent, reliable version of the LMG. Better magazines combined with significantly less tapered rimless ammunition that was more ideal for automatic fire, alongside the plethora of dust covers that kept dirt out of the gun, meant that the Belgian 1915/27 model saw service well into WW2.
Forgotten Weapons calls this thing, rightfully, the STEN of LMG's. Cheap, ugly, and kinda shit, but in the context of massed defensive formations, it did its job.
If memory serves, the Huot was actually a fairly successful bolt-action conversion. The only reason it wasn't used to any real effect was that the war ended first.
For some reason, hearing something so lighthearted as Undertale music, coupled with the intense gameplay of something like bf1 makes me chuckle, I dunno why.
Hey there! In case you're wondering why tap firing the MG17 has atrocious spread, there's a mechanic in the game called the first shot spread multiplier that strongly increases shot deviation for the second bullet each time you start firing a weapon. This means tap-firing too quickly will cause your spread to significantly jump repeatedly. You can avoid this by pausing longer to reset the spread to its smallest value.
I didn’t realize how popular bf1 still is til I started playing it again a few days ago and it’s cool to see content like this still doing numbers to this day. Great vid

I was so surprised seeing my name pop up after that Obrez plink at 34:55, until I got absolutely humiliated seconds later XD! Anyways amazing video, really enjoying this series!!
found this channel recently and have really enjoyed these videos. Good to see the bf1 community alive and well. can’t wait for your scout video as that’s my favorite class
One of the best BF1 'analysis' videos I've seen on this site, and with great music too! My love for BF1 has always been using the bizarre and out of the way weapons rather than just whatever gets the kill fastest.
The Parabellum is definitely one of the LMGs you have to use burst firing in order to get the full effectiveness out of it. In close quarters fights, overheating can really become an issue, but for medium to long range, 5, to 15 round bursts mitigate the overheating problem and provide great suppression against other players. I also prefer the low weight variant, as to me, it bounces around less when sighted compared to the supressive variant. It's a little bit more of a specialized LMG than the others, but still one of my favorites.
Fun fact: the Mg-08/18 has a secret reload animation that plays when you are at 13 rounds left in the drum, to which once that condition is met, it plays a music box theme for until the Belt is fully retrieved. Edit: Although i think only the Suppresor variant with the extended belt can cause this reload easier egg to trigger
For those who don't know they added the tanker and pilot carbine's to the support and assault class in the final update just for fun. They weren't meant to be viable outside of pilot and tanker.
One more class to go before scout! New fan of the channel, but old school BF1 fan here to say thank you for making these vids! I wouldnt be surprised if you rate the melee weapons in this game because certain melee weapons have unique properties and movesets.
Amazing video as always. I can personally vouch as a fellow support player that we ate GOOD with this selection. Here are some of my personal notes - The Benet Mercie Telescopic I found to be really good as an impromptu AA gun, especially against the heavy bomber as if you can hit the weakspot you can remove about 1/2 its health with a single strip. If I didnt have to give up my absolutely beloved Burton LMR or Perino, it would easily be used in both my "offensive" and "defensive" support loadouts. The Perino is easily my favorite "heavy LMG", and to me just feels like a more respectable version of the M1917. Maybe its just the servers I play on, but a lot of the time I only see M1917 telescopic users act like snipers. Sitting on the back of the map, raining down suppression on everyone, occasionally getting a kill - and overall not really accomplishing much. (not to say that suppression isnt helpful, but god can they please just push the objective for once in their lives?) The burton LMR. Words alone can not express how much I love this gun. Something about it just clicks with me in a way really no other gun in a game has. The incendiary rounds also deal damage to boats (torpedo/landing craft, sadly not dreadnoughts or destroyers), which is very helpful on maps like Zeebrugge or Cape Helles. I am also still annoyed at how the optical variant is borderline useless due to how you lose out on the hipfire, for almost NO increase to accuracy. You are basically sacrificing your hipfire abilities (one of the Burtons strongsuits) for a slightly clearer reticle. I honestly am still confused to this day why they gave the pistol carbines to SUPPORT of all classes. They would of been INFINITELY more useful on Scout or even Medic. Giving scout an assortment of more close-range options would of greatly benefited them. Out of them all, the Pieper is easily my favorite - its a guilty pleasure. The ammo count is ridiculous, and plus its a revolver carbine which is something I like. Also, it has the longest range out of all the pistol carbines. (as in, the bullet travels the furthest before despawning) - so with that ammo count, just spamming is actually "viable" (by the standards of pistol carbines, of course.) And if the C96 carbine's sights wernt so awful, I could see it having a sort of niche playstyle with two suppressed weapons (M1911 and the C96) - but, such is life.
This is a great comment, thank you! I’ve got some notes to share. When I was in the editing phase of this video I realized I needed extra footage of the Burton LMR actually damaging planes, so late in production I went in and got the clips you see of me grounding planes in Sinai Desert. But once I got those I preceded to menace the buildings off the British spawn side of Mazar Wireless, racking up top kills of the game, it was an incredibly satisfying experience the likes of which I hadn’t had with it before. It raised my opinion of the Burton more than I was able to indicate in the video. Personally, I don’t mind the sights of the C96 carbine so much, I know aperture sights aren’t great in this game, but these seem more consistent than the P08/Mle 1903/M1911 sights, whatever the case, it felt like a nicer shooter to me personally than the M1911 Extended or P08 Artillerie. Also I agree that people who stay in the back with machine guns like the M1917 give it a bad name.
Medic and Scout didn't get any of the Tanker/Pilot weapons because their primaries need to be compatible with the rifle grenade launcher and K-bullets, respectively. If they were made available to other classes earlier in the game's life cycle maybe something could have been done, but this was right near the end of development so the team just didn't have the resources to create a workaround. As a result, two were given to Assault and the rest were dumped on Support.
@@professormemsclass Yeah, my guess is that there's a lot of esoteric coding behind both gadgets that would need to be rewritten to make them work with the pistol carbines. The K-bullets especially. In case you're not aware, equipping K-bullets without a primary weapon (possible either through a pistol only server or the companion app) gives you a Russian 1895 that's missing both its sights and barrel, effectively looking like a bootleg Mare's Leg. It'd be funny if you gave it a mention in your Scout tier list.
The LMGs in BF1 aren't OP, they're just actually effective in the areas an LMG should be - unlike LMGs in almost every other competitive FPS game out there. I'm a huge Support/LMG fan in games - so I am on-board on this list and approach.
As someone whose name is Mads, i really appreciated when you took the time to clarify the real pronunciation of the Madsen MG. Not many other youtubers would even consider looking into that.
I find it kind of funny that the BAR was supposed to be an improved version of the concept behind the Chauchat yet in BF1 the Chauchat out performs the BAR in every sense of the word. I will give the BAR this though. I know Browning intended to have the rifle be “walking fire,” where soldiers would pop out of a trench on mass and shoot from the hip as they advance (fun fact the Chauchat and experimental versions of the Villar Perosa were intended for this same tactic). Given the BAR’s awful recoil, and trench variant hip fire is the only sure fire way to hit your targets. So in a way the walking fire idea for the BAR lives on. Sidebar: This may not be the case with everyone as I am primarily a scout and assault player and play on a controller so recoil controls while ads is already a pain.
The Burton's big utility is hitting the Airship Behemoth with the incendiary rounds. Does lots of damage, a few guys with those can chip down an Airship's health quick!
I find it interesting how your tier list contrasts with how mine would be if I made one. For reference, my best class is Assault, with Support second, however my best weapon is the lMG 08/18 Suppressive. All the guns you put in C tier would be in my A and S tier. I think the reason for the difference in opinion is because my mentality when using LMGs can basically be described as "haha, big gun go brrrt." Since you're playing Support, and thus effectively have unlimited ammo, accuracy through volume is a valid tactic, so I tend to gravitate toward high rate of fire and ammo capacity guns. I also find it incredibly fun to just hold down the trigger like a madman and fill the air with lead. (...I really hope that sentence doesn't put me on some kind of watchlist.) For me, S tier would be the lMG 08/18, Parabellum, and BAR, and A tier would be the MG15, Madsen, and M1909. Recently I feel like the Parabellum Low Weight has been overtaking the lMG 08/18 Suppressive in my eyes, and is also statistically better than the Parabellum Suppressive. The fact that Low Weight variants have superior spread reduction per shot compared to other variants, when combined with the Parabellum's high firing rate, means that the Parabellum Low Weight quickly gains accuracy with even just a short burst of fire. I find it best to use the AA sights on it, as the open sight picture makes the recoil less disruptive, and in close quarters you can just use hipfire and any enemy you look at for half a second gets deleted. Also, Latin names are cool.
As an avid BF1 player and one-time BF5 player, these tier lists got me to give BF5 a second chance, and it definitely feels like I was missing out. The fact they aren't based on meta makes them actually enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work :]
@professormemsclass Eh, there's millions of meta tier lists out there for people who want that. The fact that there's plenty of "meta" guns I end up not finding enjoyable to use in these games means tier lists like these are refreshing.
I gotta be honest, you have the wildest playlist for background songs that I've ever seen in someone's video. I think it especially stands out just because it's a BF1 video. Other channels just put a generic song or the BF1 ost playing in the background.
Hi Professor I was GgjwMaN23 at 29:30 I can't believe I actually guessed that Burton rating! I love your videos, and i can't wait to see your Scout guns review (I main the SMLE)
I LOVE THE M1917 when i played BF1 me and my friends usually played those game modes where one team attack and the other defends, and a lot of times the maps we ended up playing were open maps, so me (support) and my friend (sniper) had this tactic of going to the limit of the map then i exploded the ground using that magnetic bomb, essentially making a "trench", then we both started firing at the enemy position to suppress or just kill them.
Omg you were on the CCC server and I never put two and two together! I hope to see you more there now that I'm actually paying attention XD (On a side note I do remember this match at 17:09 vividly because i played so badly that CCC felt the need to call me out. Feels bad man)
The next one is going to be rough, I think. But I hope my beloved 1895 Trench would be a separate case due to its difference among the peers. And oh boy it slaps for that difference
I want to like the BAR, but why is it a 5 shot at long range? It fires the same rifle round as the Springfield. It should be able to kill a lot quicker at long range
_"-And with the recoil as predictable as the fate of the family dog in a horror movie..."_ Awww, mean. :( But jokes and rambling aside, it's really been really awesome to see you grow so quickly: Both in terms of your channel and your video skills. I really noticed in this one that the editing was tighter, you seemed to josh around a bit more and it was so cool to see you including your community. You've come so far, so fast and I hope this momentum continues, regardless of if you decide to pursue RUclips for a living or not. Also, I hope your move worked out well for you and that you took all the time you need to settle in all good and proper. Otherwise, lil' bit bummed by how they did the BF1 BAR dirty, but at least the Burton makes for a great WW1, both with the ascetics and the AA incendiary rounds which I love abusing. Oh, that and I absolutely adore the Perino as someone who both loves big, clunky, experimental machine guns with too much going on, and as someone who compulsory reloads. Don't get me wrong, I like the Type 11 in BFV, but it's nice having both the massive 120 magazine as well as the freedom to top it up whenever. It really makes encourages me to just shoot my shot with it, even if it's not doing much to hinder the enemy, just because it's never a hassle to just drop another clip in. Regardless, looking forward to your finale for BF1 and I hope you have a blast cooking up the next stage of your channel.
32:18 so that’s because the second to last patch of the game broke this animation and the autoloading 8 extended animation. They only fixed the autoloading 8 animation. Before that the charging handle would magically snap back and open the receiver for rounds, rather than the soldier manually opening it and covering the receiver. Same as the c96 sidearm variant
Great video I love your content , I’ve been a battlefield fan for awhile and took a long break. When I found your channel, I’ve got back into BF1 and BFV. I’m looking forward towards the scout weapon tier list. Hopefully you’ll make a gadget tier list.
I've been waiting for this one! I love your approach to the tier list. I tend to go for historical accuracy sometimes when choosing which weapons I like the most. The G 98, SMLE, Lebel, and RSC for example are my favorite rifles just because of the history of each weapon. I really wish the berthier was in this game as well but oh well. I look forward to the next tier list!
I also would have liked a Berthier, and there are so many angles too, carbine or full length, standard with a 5 round en-bloc or perhaps the 3 rounder but with a fast reload.
@@professormemsclass oooo that would have been so cool! Now I'm thinking of all the other weapons I would have liked to see. Lee Metford would have been neat, or the Gewehr 88/05 and its variants or the Gewher 98 karabiner as a variant for the Gewehr 98 in game. I know the Krag is in BF5 but it wouldn't be out of place in BF1 either. It would have probably made a lot of the bolt action rifles redundant or hard to balance but I do like these rifles nonetheless.
The Parabellum with the Pin-Down ability is insanely good. I have 10 battle stars with the Parabellum, it’s effectively an ancient version of the SAW. Using the low weight version you can completely suppress someone in just around 6 shots, and coupled with a decent sniper teammate…you effectively spot them, cause them to duck for cover, and then get sniped. Just a great combo that I find to be usable at nearly any range.
Congrats on 10K! The only thing I disagree with here is the Burton and M1917, and I'm sure you can guess why. I'm one of those "filthy pilots". I personally detest these guns because of people who waste their teams time by not contributing to any objective, but instead camping at the other teams deployment to spawn camp planes that spawn every 3 minutes or so minutes. Its just completely cheap and its no different than spawn camping infantry if that was even possible in this game. Still, good vid! I hope you can make it full time with youtube!

I love how this implies that the gun itself said this
mem praising the chauchat for being god's gift to firearms will never not be funny in the historical context
Very true
I think the version of the gun that had the most major issues was the 30-06 variations.
The Chauchat wasn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be.

found this channel recently and have really enjoyed these videos. Good to see the bf1 community alive and well. can’t wait for your scout video as that’s my favorite class
34:29 Fun fact: Nagant revolver is also belgian
One of the best BF1 'analysis' videos I've seen on this site, and with great music too! My love for BF1 has always been using the bizarre and out of the way weapons rather than just whatever gets the kill fastest.
Thanks!
I can appreciate the use of the Bully OST on a completely different game type
Good music is good music (especially useful if it doesn't get Content ID'd)
The Parabellum is definitely one of the LMGs you have to use burst firing in order to get the full effectiveness out of it. In close quarters fights, overheating can really become an issue, but for medium to long range, 5, to 15 round bursts mitigate the overheating problem and provide great suppression against other players. I also prefer the low weight variant, as to me, it bounces around less when sighted compared to the supressive variant. It's a little bit more of a specialized LMG than the others, but still one of my favorites.
Fun fact: the Mg-08/18 has a secret reload animation that plays when you are at 13 rounds left in the drum, to which once that condition is met, it plays a music box theme for until the Belt is fully retrieved.
Edit: Although i think only the Suppresor variant with the extended belt can cause this reload easier egg to trigger
Hell yeah the man who got me back into these games uploads again!!!! Love your content man
Aw thanks!
I love all of the experimental looking weaponry from world war one, I love using all of these weapons especially with the country I'm playing
"Professor that Burton must be at least B tier"
*B Tier*
I fucking lost it at that.
For those who don't know they added the tanker and pilot carbine's to the support and assault class in the final update just for fun. They weren't meant to be viable outside of pilot and tanker.
One more class to go before scout! New fan of the channel, but old school BF1 fan here to say thank you for making these vids! I wouldnt be surprised if you rate the melee weapons in this game because certain melee weapons have unique properties and movesets.
Bro I’m hooked on these videos. Literally the reason why I redownloaded
Glad to hear it!
These videos are incredible, looking forward to the scout list!
Thanks!
I think the chauchat is probably my favorite out of all the lmgs in bf1
I miss this game:( the beta with the boys on Sinai will always be a core memory of being a teenager. Played it consistently
Amazing video as always. I can personally vouch as a fellow support player that we ate GOOD with this selection.
Here are some of my personal notes -
The Benet Mercie Telescopic I found to be really good as an impromptu AA gun, especially against the heavy bomber as if you can hit the weakspot you can remove about 1/2 its health with a single strip. If I didnt have to give up my absolutely beloved Burton LMR or Perino, it would easily be used in both my "offensive" and "defensive" support loadouts.
The Perino is easily my favorite "heavy LMG", and to me just feels like a more respectable version of the M1917. Maybe its just the servers I play on, but a lot of the time I only see M1917 telescopic users act like snipers. Sitting on the back of the map, raining down suppression on everyone, occasionally getting a kill - and overall not really accomplishing much. (not to say that suppression isnt helpful, but god can they please just push the objective for once in their lives?)
The burton LMR. Words alone can not express how much I love this gun. Something about it just clicks with me in a way really no other gun in a game has. The incendiary rounds also deal damage to boats (torpedo/landing craft, sadly not dreadnoughts or destroyers), which is very helpful on maps like Zeebrugge or Cape Helles. I am also still annoyed at how the optical variant is borderline useless due to how you lose out on the hipfire, for almost NO increase to accuracy. You are basically sacrificing your hipfire abilities (one of the Burtons strongsuits) for a slightly clearer reticle.
I honestly am still confused to this day why they gave the pistol carbines to SUPPORT of all classes. They would of been INFINITELY more useful on Scout or even Medic. Giving scout an assortment of more close-range options would of greatly benefited them. Out of them all, the Pieper is easily my favorite - its a guilty pleasure. The ammo count is ridiculous, and plus its a revolver carbine which is something I like. Also, it has the longest range out of all the pistol carbines. (as in, the bullet travels the furthest before despawning) - so with that ammo count, just spamming is actually "viable" (by the standards of pistol carbines, of course.) And if the C96 carbine's sights wernt so awful, I could see it having a sort of niche playstyle with two suppressed weapons (M1911 and the C96) - but, such is life.
This is a great comment, thank you! I’ve got some notes to share.
When I was in the editing phase of this video I realized I needed extra footage of the Burton LMR actually damaging planes, so late in production I went in and got the clips you see of me grounding planes in Sinai Desert. But once I got those I preceded to menace the buildings off the British spawn side of Mazar Wireless, racking up top kills of the game, it was an incredibly satisfying experience the likes of which I hadn’t had with it before. It raised my opinion of the Burton more than I was able to indicate in the video.
Personally, I don’t mind the sights of the C96 carbine so much, I know aperture sights aren’t great in this game, but these seem more consistent than the P08/Mle 1903/M1911 sights, whatever the case, it felt like a nicer shooter to me personally than the M1911 Extended or P08 Artillerie.
Also I agree that people who stay in the back with machine guns like the M1917 give it a bad name.
Medic and Scout didn't get any of the Tanker/Pilot weapons because their primaries need to be compatible with the rifle grenade launcher and K-bullets, respectively. If they were made available to other classes earlier in the game's life cycle maybe something could have been done, but this was right near the end of development so the team just didn't have the resources to create a workaround. As a result, two were given to Assault and the rest were dumped on Support.
Ah right, I had forgotten about how the rifle grenades and K bullets might have affected it.
@@professormemsclass Yeah, my guess is that there's a lot of esoteric coding behind both gadgets that would need to be rewritten to make them work with the pistol carbines. The K-bullets especially. In case you're not aware, equipping K-bullets without a primary weapon (possible either through a pistol only server or the companion app) gives you a Russian 1895 that's missing both its sights and barrel, effectively looking like a bootleg Mare's Leg. It'd be funny if you gave it a mention in your Scout tier list.
I didn’t know that! Thank you so much!
The LMGs in BF1 aren't OP, they're just actually effective in the areas an LMG should be - unlike LMGs in almost every other competitive FPS game out there. I'm a huge Support/LMG fan in games - so I am on-board on this list and approach.
Great video, Mem! Love the Nightfire track. Can't wait for the next one!
Your narration is so similar to Nerrel! Very soothing, straight to the point and clear cut
Your videos are awesome, good to see these videos being pushed. Good luck moving forward.
Thank you!
As someone whose name is Mads, i really appreciated when you took the time to clarify the real pronunciation of the Madsen MG. Not many other youtubers would even consider looking into that.
I find it kind of funny that the BAR was supposed to be an improved version of the concept behind the Chauchat yet in BF1 the Chauchat out performs the BAR in every sense of the word. I will give the BAR this though. I know Browning intended to have the rifle be “walking fire,” where soldiers would pop out of a trench on mass and shoot from the hip as they advance (fun fact the Chauchat and experimental versions of the Villar Perosa were intended for this same tactic). Given the BAR’s awful recoil, and trench variant hip fire is the only sure fire way to hit your targets. So in a way the walking fire idea for the BAR lives on.
Sidebar: This may not be the case with everyone as I am primarily a scout and assault player and play on a controller so recoil controls while ads is already a pain.
The Burton's big utility is hitting the Airship Behemoth with the incendiary rounds. Does lots of damage, a few guys with those can chip down an Airship's health quick!
As someone who just started playing it's nice that there are current and informative videos like this
What I wasnt expecting was a bf1 tierlist video that came out 4 days ago.
11:13 the look back wondering why it didn’t explode killed me😂
Hahaha you noticed
Really fun video as always! Love pretty much all of the LMGs in the game. Though my favorites are easily the lewis and the M1917 MG
And I was just thinking about when the next upload would be...
Good stuff mate
Thanks!
I find it interesting how your tier list contrasts with how mine would be if I made one. For reference, my best class is Assault, with Support second, however my best weapon is the lMG 08/18 Suppressive. All the guns you put in C tier would be in my A and S tier. I think the reason for the difference in opinion is because my mentality when using LMGs can basically be described as "haha, big gun go brrrt." Since you're playing Support, and thus effectively have unlimited ammo, accuracy through volume is a valid tactic, so I tend to gravitate toward high rate of fire and ammo capacity guns. I also find it incredibly fun to just hold down the trigger like a madman and fill the air with lead. (...I really hope that sentence doesn't put me on some kind of watchlist.)
For me, S tier would be the lMG 08/18, Parabellum, and BAR, and A tier would be the MG15, Madsen, and M1909.
Recently I feel like the Parabellum Low Weight has been overtaking the lMG 08/18 Suppressive in my eyes, and is also statistically better than the Parabellum Suppressive. The fact that Low Weight variants have superior spread reduction per shot compared to other variants, when combined with the Parabellum's high firing rate, means that the Parabellum Low Weight quickly gains accuracy with even just a short burst of fire. I find it best to use the AA sights on it, as the open sight picture makes the recoil less disruptive, and in close quarters you can just use hipfire and any enemy you look at for half a second gets deleted.
Also, Latin names are cool.
Fair perspective
Finally. Support may finally be an interesting class to me.
My man has a crazy good music taste. Using both music from wii punch out AND mgrr deserves a sub for sure.
I appreciate the fact that you appreciate Chauchat. *_Chugg_*_ intensifies_
Once again the peak of battlefield 1 content
Now I cant wait for the scout episode, these tierlist are seriously well put together
As an avid BF1 player and one-time BF5 player, these tier lists got me to give BF5 a second chance, and it definitely feels like I was missing out. The fact they aren't based on meta makes them actually enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great work :]
Will do, and I’m glad to hear that despite people who feel the opposite, there are plenty of people who like my angle on the Tier Lists.
@professormemsclass Eh, there's millions of meta tier lists out there for people who want that. The fact that there's plenty of "meta" guns I end up not finding enjoyable to use in these games means tier lists like these are refreshing.
LETS GO! congrats on 11K subs as well.
Thank you!
Chauchat is hands down my favorite support weapon, it just feels so damn good to fire. Great list!
The fact that I’m waiting for new BF1 videos to come out is top tier
Your content rocks dude. Super entertaining, makes time fly by real fast. Your rating “style” is also really cool.
Glad to hear it!
33:26
The Lack of a Steal here when you're running repair tool Hurts my soul.
Can’t get P08 Artillerie clips in a tank.
I gotta be honest, you have the wildest playlist for background songs that I've ever seen in someone's video.
I think it especially stands out just because it's a BF1 video. Other channels just put a generic song or the BF1 ost playing in the background.
Might as well make the experience more interesting for all of us
I think the Burton should be A tier. Is the only support weapon with a bayonett.
The Burton Trench actually performs pretty well in CQC, from my experience. It’s usually my go-to for when I need to play support REALLY aggressively.
@@GreyTide512 I agree, and the recoil is not that bad even with a high RPM. Its a better SMG with anti aircraft bullets, my favorite gun in the class.
Hi Professor I was GgjwMaN23 at 29:30 I can't believe I actually guessed that Burton rating! I love your videos, and i can't wait to see your Scout guns review (I main the SMLE)
Ah nice to see you in the comments here! Not gonna lie, that specific game was really close to bumping my rating up because I had such a good time.
Nice to hear you had fun, Battlefield is one of the few games where it isn't whoever is sweatiest wins, and I love that about this game
I LOVE THE M1917
when i played BF1 me and my friends usually played those game modes where one team attack and the other defends, and a lot of times the maps we ended up playing were open maps, so me (support) and my friend (sniper) had this tactic of going to the limit of the map then i exploded the ground using that magnetic bomb, essentially making a "trench", then we both started firing at the enemy position to suppress or just kill them.
Omg you were on the CCC server and I never put two and two together! I hope to see you more there now that I'm actually paying attention XD
(On a side note I do remember this match at 17:09 vividly because i played so badly that CCC felt the need to call me out. Feels bad man)
Daaang I'm sorry, glad to share a server with ya though!
The next one is going to be rough, I think. But I hope my beloved 1895 Trench would be a separate case due to its difference among the peers. And oh boy it slaps for that difference
Just an extra thumbs up for using the SM64 sound font Black Hole Sun cover. Kudos.
Benet-Mercie my beloved, topfragged almost every game i played back when I played it on xbox and counter sniped the snipers, such a beautiful weapon.
The FT is what you use to take out your anger on a steamrolling team
When you start talking about the model 1909, your mic change makes you sound exactly like a youtube called “manlybadasshero”
I’ve heard that comparison before haha, not really sure what to make of it
There’s just something about the machine guns in this game that makes you want to scream “LMG MOUNTED AND LOADED” whenever you use them
Amen
Not putting Big Papa BAR in S tier is crazy
BAR sucks
It used to have much better recoil.
Boring gun IMO
I want to like the BAR, but why is it a 5 shot at long range? It fires the same rifle round as the Springfield. It should be able to kill a lot quicker at long range
If it had a 30 round mag, maybe, but in a class where reloading is a liability, no
The bully ost for the intro???? No way that’s fire
_"-And with the recoil as predictable as the fate of the family dog in a horror movie..."_
Awww, mean. :(
But jokes and rambling aside, it's really been really awesome to see you grow so quickly: Both in terms of your channel and your video skills. I really noticed in this one that the editing was tighter, you seemed to josh around a bit more and it was so cool to see you including your community. You've come so far, so fast and I hope this momentum continues, regardless of if you decide to pursue RUclips for a living or not.
Also, I hope your move worked out well for you and that you took all the time you need to settle in all good and proper.
Otherwise, lil' bit bummed by how they did the BF1 BAR dirty, but at least the Burton makes for a great WW1, both with the ascetics and the AA incendiary rounds which I love abusing. Oh, that and I absolutely adore the Perino as someone who both loves big, clunky, experimental machine guns with too much going on, and as someone who compulsory reloads. Don't get me wrong, I like the Type 11 in BFV, but it's nice having both the massive 120 magazine as well as the freedom to top it up whenever. It really makes encourages me to just shoot my shot with it, even if it's not doing much to hinder the enemy, just because it's never a hassle to just drop another clip in.
Regardless, looking forward to your finale for BF1 and I hope you have a blast cooking up the next stage of your channel.
Thanks for your support as always!
32:18 so that’s because the second to last patch of the game broke this animation and the autoloading 8 extended animation. They only fixed the autoloading 8 animation. Before that the charging handle would magically snap back and open the receiver for rounds, rather than the soldier manually opening it and covering the receiver. Same as the c96 sidearm variant
The Benet Mercie my beloved. I have 15 service stars on the Storm variant. That is 12 more than I have on any other weapon
Nice!
Black hole sun cover playing in the background solid 10/10
WE PRAISE YOU FUNNY MUSTACHE MAN FOR GRANTING US KNOWLEDGE OF VARIOUS FIREARMS IN BF1 THANK YOU
Haha my pleasure
Great video I love your content , I’ve been a battlefield fan for awhile and took a long break. When I found your channel, I’ve got back into BF1 and BFV. I’m looking forward towards the scout weapon tier list. Hopefully you’ll make a gadget tier list.
I've been waiting for this one! I love your approach to the tier list. I tend to go for historical accuracy sometimes when choosing which weapons I like the most. The G 98, SMLE, Lebel, and RSC for example are my favorite rifles just because of the history of each weapon. I really wish the berthier was in this game as well but oh well.
I look forward to the next tier list!
I also would have liked a Berthier, and there are so many angles too, carbine or full length, standard with a 5 round en-bloc or perhaps the 3 rounder but with a fast reload.
@@professormemsclass oooo that would have been so cool! Now I'm thinking of all the other weapons I would have liked to see. Lee Metford would have been neat, or the Gewehr 88/05 and its variants or the Gewher 98 karabiner as a variant for the Gewehr 98 in game. I know the Krag is in BF5 but it wouldn't be out of place in BF1 either.
It would have probably made a lot of the bolt action rifles redundant or hard to balance but I do like these rifles nonetheless.
the transition that got slipped in there at 38:28 was smooth like butter
Damn, I've just returned into bf1 and watched the assault primary this morning and here you are with new great video! Keep it up man
Wow I’ve been waiting 8 years for this
28:45 “remember, switching magazines is always faster then reloading” Gaz mw1 2008
The Parabellum with the Pin-Down ability is insanely good. I have 10 battle stars with the Parabellum, it’s effectively an ancient version of the SAW. Using the low weight version you can completely suppress someone in just around 6 shots, and coupled with a decent sniper teammate…you effectively spot them, cause them to duck for cover, and then get sniped. Just a great combo that I find to be usable at nearly any range.
29:31
GgjwMaN23 knew what you were up to
Haha yeah shout out to him, he was cool in the chat
Congrats on 10K!
The only thing I disagree with here is the Burton and M1917, and I'm sure you can guess why. I'm one of those "filthy pilots".
I personally detest these guns because of people who waste their teams time by not contributing to any objective, but instead camping at the other teams deployment to spawn camp planes that spawn every 3 minutes or so minutes. Its just completely cheap and its no different than spawn camping infantry if that was even possible in this game.
Still, good vid! I hope you can make it full time with youtube!
I’ve seen everybody give the benet mercie f tier, glad to see a different opinion
S tier = Chadsen and Chauchad
F tier = Everything else
