Please EA for the love of all things DO NOT restrict the Recoilless 5 use only to engineers. I quite frankly dont like the idea of bringing classes back, it is very counterintuitive to the way that BF2042 was meant to be, it really feels like we're forcing 2042 to be like the old games, and while thats good in some cases, in others its not and is better to have something new.
The Recoilless 5 is extremely versatile, and honestly most of us miss over 80% of our shots with it, its hard to use it and is not like BF4 Straw that had laser guidance and you could literally move the rocket, the Recoilless 5 isnt just good for vehicles, but it is amazing to take down snipers for those of us Assault people that we DONT want to be a Recon, we want the action not just standing in a spot sniping, it is also amazing to take down turrets, and rangers. I quite honestly feel like the Recoilless is exactly where it needs to be, it is weak and most shots are missed, but with the amount of people and a bit of luck sometimes youre able to take some vehicles down, but it is NOT often. There are way too many vehicles/robots/gadgets that having the Recoilless available for everyone makes it an absolutely amazing choice, I truly DONT want to have it locked to Engineer class because i DONT want to use an engineer operator. The C5 is a good gadget but it is EXTREMELY circumstancial, due to the amount of people in game and vehicles some of them with over 5 people in them, getting close to a vehicle to be able to place C5 on it is extremely rare and really difficult, it works well when it does, but again, it is very cicumstancial. I really want the Recoilless to stay available for everyone, it is a NECESSITY for the huge amount of vehicles and gadgets that are deployed in the game, restricting it to a class would be a TERRIBLE decision and personally would seriously hurt my enjoyment of playing this game, reading that change was quite devasting and gave me a very harsh feeling of hopelessness for the games future not being fun anymore. It would also create a big unbalance because since R5s are such a necessity we could have too many engineers on both teams and lose the other operators, as well as having an overwhelming amount of these engineer gadgets deployed, making them feel overpowered when in reality theres just too many of them, which will lead to them getting nerfed, essentially creating a new issue where was none before, besides. classyfing every operator would essentially take away the diversity that BF2042 was so build upon, with too many restrictions, because one of the best parts is having many operators and still having the choice to use them as you want amd every one having their own ability is wonderful!
So PLEASE, EA, this is just not the right way to go! ☹️
