@Straatford87 WHOA Making Irish a Medic is such a weird decision? Now there will be 200 APS Sentinels across the map, leading to it getting nerfed when it's actually fine.
Crawford was perfectly fine, his trait gave him an incentive to revive.
If these playtesters played Irish as intended, then people would realize he was the most balanced implementation for an APS system for vehicles. The vehicles can't move anywhere, they must stay in the same spot if they want APS, but now? With Irish no longer having a repair tool, this entire playstyle has been nerfed. No longer can you spawn on a MAV as Irish and play a purely support role around it, placing down your sentinels and repairing the MAV...
Well... Yet more changes for the sake of change i.e There doesn't have to be 3 Heroes per class... there could be 4 Engineers and 2 Medics. And instead of changing what needed to be changed, the weapon restrictions, this has been left out. I dunno.
Hell, the Hero gadgets should just be turned in Class Gadgets, that way Crawford could use a APS Sentinel if he wanted to. This whole specialist thing being tied to gadgets is a hazard to Battlefield, it has no place in the game.
At least there will be far more gadgets in the game than before, so that's at least a good change.

Well there's always going to be winners and losers with the new gadget restrictions.
I'm winning as I can continue to play with my primary kit loadous with Boris but I'm going to continue to lose out in my tank to Mackay and Sundance with their C5 as I predicted a few days ago.
