For domination
Usually an mg42 ext mags rapid fire and fmj. Armoured and lately been running blitz with counter uav care package fighter and glide bomb.

Usually get streaks couple of times ina game.

Or same but with requisitions paratroopers, bombing run, flak guns.

For kc or tdm I run the stg QD ext mags

Tbh mainly use shipment for the challenges so currently using a pistol as my primary to get the 80 kills challenge.

I just noticed that they added Domination 75 and upped the score for the top 5 scorestreaks using Requisitions. Exact wording from the community update:

Requisitions Nerf. After taking into consideration community feedback and data, we nerfed Requisitions. We wanted to give the community some insight into our decision. First off, the Requisitions Basic Training was intended to provide novice players with a route to earn mid-tier Scorestreaks. Only on exceptional matches were highly-skilled players meant to be able to acquire top-tier streaks like the Ball Turret Gunner. However, the current frequency with which players are able to earn these top-tier streaks with the training is far too high. To address this issue, we’ve raised the cost of the top 5 Scorestreaks by 600-1200 score when using the Requisitions Basic Training.

We’d also like to provide some additional insight into our tuning philosophy. With the Divisions Overhaul on April 10th, we took two initial steps that we hoped would reduce Requisitions usage. These steps were adding the Blitzkrieg Basic Training and buffing the Ordnance Basic Training. A month has passed since the Divisions Overhaul, and Requisitions remains the most-used Basic Training in the game (since the removal of Primed). Due to a difference in score/XP between game modes and maps, Requisitions is tough to tune. The Training has mainly been an issue in Domination, Hardpoint, and on the Shipment 1944 map. For other modes like Team Deathmatch, Requisitions seemed fairly balanced. The aim with today’s tuning is to get Requisitions into a fair place for Dom and HP on non-Shipment 1944 maps. Many of the top streaks will now be exceptionally difficult to earn in TDM. Shipment 1944 will be a bit less chaotic than it has been, but that’s the nature of the map and we can’t tune the game around this very specific edge case. Below are the adjusted Scorestreak costs:

Emergency Airdrop: Increased from 1800 to 2400
Fire Bombing Run: Increased from 1950 to 2700
Paratroopers: Increased from 2400 to 3300
Carpet Bombing: Increased from 2850 to 3850
Ball Turret Gunner: Increased from 3600 to 4800

Ground War will be back on Wednesday and will become a permanent game mode.

I'm not a person who makes the best classes but I tend to be a try hard with Volksturmgewehr + High Caliber + Steady Aim + Reflex Sight + Grip (if using Infantry) but no Grip if using other divisions. I tend to run it with Infantry, Airborne or Armoured. I use Hustle because I cannot go a class without it now because I'm so used to it and it will feel weird not to have it.

If I want to run an LMG, either Lewis or MG42 with Extended Mags + Reflex Sight + Quickdraw (or swap out Reflex Sight on Lewis for Steady Aim). Basic training is Hustle.

Ball Turret Gunner: Increased from 3600 to 4800

Shipment will still be a heap of req players. It would be rare enough a game of Dom that I wouldn’t get a ball gunner even at those scores. Might just mean the streaks all start later in the map 😂.

Was interesting to see it’s the most used basic training. Does not surprise really. I pretty much run blitz on everything unless playing war

Requisitions was buffed in Domination because for example, instead of taking 48 kills (without any captures), it's now 44 kills to get Paratroopers.

How are we supposed to do the ground war head shot challenge? Am I missing something?

Used it at the beginning for a while, the strafing gave you an advantage in every gun fight.

See below:

We’ve got new Daily Orders for this week for rifles, LMGs, SMGs, sniper rifles, shotguns, and pistols.

Midweek Mobilize and Weekend Warfare (live from 10AM PDT on Wednesday, May 16 until 10AM PDT on Thursday, May 17)

2XP on Nazi Zombies - Live from 10AM PDT on Wednesday, May 16 until 10AM PDT on Thursday, May 17

2XP on One Shot (One Shot is a sniper playlist that will be playable for TDM and Dom modes) - Live from 10AM PDT on Wednesday, May 16 until 10AM PDT on Thursday, May 17

2XP Ground War (Standard and HC) - 2XP live from 10AM PDT on Wednesday, May 16 until 10AM PDT on Monday, May 21, but Ground War is here to stay!

I used to play War all the time until I got bored of always ending up in Neptune. Now I just play Shipment.
