April update 4.0: Tanks will be too weak
Tanks are not hard to kill. With vehicles being more rare (respawn time doubled) and Sundance's grenades working as they were meant to function, with no elevated terrain by the spawns overseeing a fl...

@A-RAF2019 The tanks are easy to kill, because currently they are a 1 player vehicle, which drastically reduces survivability.
Currently there is no in-game squad communication, hopefully that will be resolved with patch 4.0, then it becomes possible to tell the driver that you get out to repair, and maybe the vehicle doesn't drive away, and leaves you in the open.
The biggest threat to tanks are Caspars C5 plastered OVer-Powerd Drones.
At the moment I used Sundace Anti-Armor grenades when any vehicle is near. It isn't deterministic, but sometimes I get a kill, or make a chopper release flares, etc. sure in the future I will directly target land vehicles, that today simply get saved by a bug.

@kregora No one wants to be gunners anymore. The tanks are sitting ducks.
And I forgot to mention Sundance's flying with C5 and the grappling hook.

- @A-RAF2019 You are not wrong about this observation, but in my opinion it is wrong to make a tank competitive against multiple infantry, when it is only manned by one person.

They need at least to be less clumsy than they are now.
In BF1 the excuse was "it is WW1 tech", in BFV it was "it is WW2 tech" yet even in this near future setting, the tanks pale in comparison to their BF3/4 counterparts.
As I said on several occasions, Vehicles in BF2042 in general made me less interested in using them than on any other BF game since I came to the franchise in BF3.
