How is a battlefield server ranked here?

Purely by live player count, refreshed every five minutes. A server with 90 players on now sits above one with 40, whatever its name or reputation. We do not accept payment or placement, so the order is only ever the live signal. History is kept so you can see whether a server's numbers hold over a wipe.

Can you learn PvP on a battlefield server?

You will take more fights per hour than on a standard server, which sharpens aim and reactions. But the free kits and high gather rates mean you skip the economy and building that decide most wipes. Use it as a training ground, not a replacement for a real wipe.

What happens to progress when a battlefield server wipes?

Very little, because there is rarely any to lose. Kits return on spawn, blueprints are usually irrelevant, and bases are not the point. If the server resets every few hours, think of it as a new round rather than a wipe. Some weekly servers do keep blueprints, so check the server's own settings.

What if I play solo or in a small group?

Most battlefield servers leave the group limit high or unset, so large squads can dominate. Use the search box for names containing solo, duo or trio to find fights on your terms. You can also sort by players to avoid the emptiest servers, though a full server is not always a fair one.

Rank is the catalogue number: RS-070 is the 70th server on players over the last seven days. The bar under the players is how full the server is; the light curve its players hour by hour. Next wipe is an estimate (~) unless it is the force wipe (FW); hover a time for the reason.
