Tomorrow's Battlefield 6 patch somehow makes jets more useless, improves armor bar visibility in Redsec

"The patch is mainly made up of bug fixes, but it does have three key areas of improvements to gameplay. There's a big focus on melee combat, how responsive/unresponsive it is with the various melee tools, and how melee behaviour interacts with sprinting and other animations. The end result should be faster attack speeds for the knife, and clearer wind-up animations for both the knife and the sledgehammer. The timing dictating when melee damage gets credited has also been made more consistent in different environments."

"Battlefield 6's promised, season-extending update has been officially detailed. The patch, version 1.1.3.5, arrives tomorrow, January 20 right when Season 1 was supposed to end. Part of the update's goal is to extend the current season, until Season 2 kicks off in the middle of February. Update 1.1.3.5 does, of course, have a change log of its own that goes beyond just the season's extension, but the changes fall somewhere between not very exciting, and a bit puzzling."

"The patch is going to make jets far less stronger against other air vehicles, requiring 40% more hits to destroy a target. This is puzzling because jets - and air vehicles in general - are already the least survivable in Battlefield 6. And, considering how the rest of a jet's arsenal is either situational or nearly ineffective, the cannons were really the one guaranteed way of downing other air vehicles,"

Patch 1.1.3.5 for Battlefield 6 launches January 20 and extends Season 1 until Season 2 begins in mid-February. The update is a smaller release centered on bug fixes and three targeted gameplay improvements rather than sweeping changes. Melee combat receives adjustments for faster knife attacks, clearer wind-up animations for knife and sledgehammer, and more consistent damage timing across environments. Sprint now interrupts only when a melee attack reaches its target to reduce sluggish-feeling interruptions. The patch also increases the hits required to destroy air targets with jet cannons by 40%, a change many consider puzzling given air vehicle fragility.
