@SterlingARCH3R Great guide. A few more tips from my end. 

Cavalry: Use this class to quickly get to outer/distant objectives and/or break out of a spawn trap. Key here is to drop med and supply packs as frequent as possible. The med packs will self-heal you while taken damage from incoming fire, but might also support your allies. And next when arriving at an objective DISMOUNT and seek cover! This will allow your squad mates to spawn on you. 

When fighting other cavalry, use the cavalry sword or lance and keep moving, avoid the use of the rifle against other cavalry. And again apply the health pack drop to self-heal after taking damage. Here's a video of me where I succesfully take out 3 enemy cavalry units applying this tactic. As you will see, they keep trying to shoot me with the rifle, but I manage to survive and win the fights, despite being under attack from 2 enemies simultaneously.

Next tip is for fighting the Airship behemoth, contrary to LMG's (except the Burton Incindiary rounds) the stationary heavy machine gun deals good damage to the Airship. And it also overheats less quick than the stationary AA canon, and also the Airship gunners typically know the locations of the AA guns and will concentrate their fire on them, but they are less used to focus on the mounted HMG's. 

See below a clip as example:

+ Fog is your friend - One common complaint I hear is about the weather; specifically, the notorious fog. In actuality, it's a blessing in literal disguise. If you're attacking in Operations, fog will help you tremendously, as it's effectively a global light smoke to help your team advance under concealment. Another bonus is that it limits the sight range of snipers on both sides, so your teammates may want to consider playing other classes.

Fog isn't anyones friend; It's the ultimate balancer

[FreMo1974]

Fog benefits to both teams, no?

[EA_Atic]

I would say so, @FreMo1974 You can sneak around but so can they.

@FreMo1974 Yes, fog benefits both teams. It nearly nullifies planes, vehicles, and snipers, to boot.

Fog is a little too thick at times but it is definitely fun. As a melee enthusiast (and paranoid rare tag owner), it makes way for some of the most intense, most fun battlefield moments.

A lot of people still don't switch their weapons during a roll through of fog so I would recommend a nice shotty and heavy melee combo - simple jukes in the fog allows you to escape enemy auto fire quite easily so if you can evade and land that 1 perfect shotty shot you're golden (and an easy melee kill if you flub the shot

I'll probably make another BF Tips for the BFV thread, but most of these should transfer over.

+ If you hear gunfire, assume it's the enemy's unless you confirm otherwise. Often times I'll see friendlies get killed from a flanking enemy, while teammates are completely oblivious to anything that happens outside of their periphery. Don't just assume that it's your teammates shots that you hear, especially if the tempo and sound of gunfire changes.
