Battlefield V update (May 23) Patch Notes

Fixed an issue which would cause players to fall slightly below the ground when going into the bleed out state after getting killed while in a plane.

Fixed a bug that would cause airplanes to not resupply under certain conditions.
-
Changed irreparable damage multiplier on rocket vs fighter from 1.8 to 0.18. This fixes the issue of rockets dealing a too high percentage of their damage as irreparable damage when damaging fighters.

While in a vehicle the splash damage indicators that appear when damage is taken from anti- tank weapons now show the correct direction.

Weapon Tweaks
P08 Carbine:
-
Improved firing animation with iron sights to be less distracting.
-
Reduced recoil and sped up recoil decrease.
-
Can no longer be used while swimming.
Commando Carbine:
-
We found the Commando Carbine was a bit lacking at medium range already, due to low damage and slow projectiles making landing shots hard.
-
Increased two hit kill range to 50 m (was 30 m).
-
Increased distance at which one head and one body shot are lethal to 75 m (was 50 m).
-
Increased muzzle velocity to 350 m/s (was 300 m/s) and 400 m/s (was 330 m/s) when using High Velocity Bullets.
-
Decreased suppression per bullet, which was overly high.
M28 con Tromboncino:
-
Decreased suppression per bullet, which was overly high.
-
Fixed grenade launcher dealing incorrect amounts of damage. LS/26:
-
Added resumable empty reload.
-
Slightly reduced the efficacy of the Ported Barrel specialization.
-
Tweaked the recoil pattern to make the weapon easier to use.
Assault Rifles and SMGs:
-
Improved accuracy in aimed sustained fire from the second shot.
Sidearms:
-
Improved accuracy in unaimed sustained fire from the second shot for all sidearms except the Mk VI Revolver. This means follow-up shots in hip fire will be much more accurate than before.
Mk VI Revolver:
-
Increased deploy time to 0.7 s (was 0.65 s) and 0.65 s (was 0.6 s) when using Slings and Swivels. This means switching to the revolver takes longer, leaving it at a bigger disadvantage to the pistols when you need to switch to your sidearm fast.
Soldier

Improvements to the lighting on soldiers, this is a shader that makes third person soldiers a bit more visible when in dark areas. This change is only applied to Multiplayer and Firestorm. If you would like to learn about this in more detail, please read this article.
Manual Leaning
Leaning is a feature that already exists in Battlefield V using the auto-leaning system. With this update, we are introducing manual leaning which allows players to have more control over leaning and use this feature in more cases than what the auto-leaning systems allows.
• Manual leaning is only available when aiming down sight.
• Moving while leaning is 50% slower.
• It is not possible to use a bipod while manual leaning.
• Players can decide if leaning should be a toggle or a hold (OPTIONS / CONTROLS)..
