Tons of good changes for vehicles but alas, the changes needed most are no where in sight.
When is the Nightbird getting nerfed? It is by far the most bugged and OP vehicle right now.
It is the only aircraft that can solo an anti-air tank in one strafe, the only vehicle that can destroy an enemy Jet within 3 seconds and the only aircraft that can't land properly.
It is because of vehicles like the Nightbird, akin to how the Stealth Heli was at its debut, that air vehicles come across as crazy strong leading to unnecessary nerfs to other facets of air vehicles, and unnecessary buffs to facets of anti-air such as the now thankfully repealed buff to Lis.
Fix the Nightbird!

Sundance's Anti-Armor Grenade has been removed from the game
Irish and Sundance now are another two useless Specialists. There was only one benefit from this grenade - to shoot down Casper's drone and to destroy some gadgets. Who are these people who are doing all this?
Fixed an issue where the SVK bullets were zeroed at a different distance than the rest of the weapons, resulting in high inaccuracies at medium and longer distances.
The only positive thing I see. It has long been said that SVK shoots incorrectly. At least.
The rest of the changes are either a minus or an insignificant minor improvement. As I understand it, all the evil comes from the fact that they only watch the most dull and ridiculous Conquest mode and on the basis of this, by virtue of their minds, they try to do something. All evil from incompetence and sluggish dull Conquest. Conquest is a minor league, and they adjust everything else to it. It's terrible.
Please make your changes only in Conquest mode and leave the Breakthrough mode alone. All these ridiculous class systems, incomprehensible nerfs of everything, and so on.

Honestly it feels like these changes were made for Breakthrough?
I really don't like the changes to Irish too. It doesn't make sense as doing this eliminates the front lines and opens the flood gates on an already present flood of explosive spam.

Personally I think Sundance is amazing for the wingsuit alone. They grenades are just a bonus. I was disappointed to lose the emp grenade and now the anti-armor grenade, but I strongly disagree that these removals render Sundance useless.
The Irish nerf will hurt more, but even for him I think "useless" is a big exaggeration.
I'm willing to try the changes before rendering a verdict on how they impact the game. Dice have reversed or refined changes in the past when they've seen that they didn't work in practice, after all, so no reason not to give the changes an honest try without prejudging them, IMO.
- flcrm3 years agoRising Veteran@mitcharf Wingsuit is almost useless in the paradigm of a backward class system. Previously, it was possible to fly to the rear and put up a beacon, now you can only fly to the rear and die, at best, blow up a tank and die. Now the drone has also been taken away. Almost useless Specialist. Irish, with a dull system that will now only work for a few seconds, becomes almost useless against the endless spam of grenades, rockets and other explosives. But you're apparently playing in the sluggish Conquest mode?
