Battlefield 2042 Tanks and Wildcat turret speed

Okay Dice and development teams

This needs to be fixed like months ago the Vehicle turret speed is so damn slow it feels like you are hand cranking the turret Travers like Common the Damn AA can't even Keep up with Aircraft let alone trying to hit jets, and with only heat seeker missiles that have the worst lock on range I have seen ever this is horrible the armor on the field can't do its jobs I don't care how many seats you put in them, the AA Wildcat can't follow targets in the sky if it's life depended on it and it's life does depend on it ffs the air vehicles are so damn fast you may as well not even have the AA because it can't even turn it's damn turret fast enough to engage, infantry kills you or helis do, tanks are so damn slow that by the time the turret points at the enemy some player with c5 is already blown you up what the hell is the point if the vehicles can support ground or do the job they were made for?? No passive rockets for AA or anything useful like common BF4 had vehicle balance, there's no excuse for this, the tanks defensive unlocks are smoke, then smoke launchers then more smoke????? 3 types of useless Smoke grandes? What am I supposed to do with that it doesn't deflect shots nor lock ons from air, then you have part damage that kills the turret ring or engine etc turret speed is so slow it may as well be fixed in position, like full release is tomorrow and we have no options for turret speed, no HUD element size slider, no leaning, assault rifles and lmgs have bullet spread so wide you may as well have everything on single fire, hit detection is not consistent, every single bullet, or shell or everything has this tracer round coming out of it, leading shots is RNG, the lotto has a higher chance of me winning then my ammunition hitting the target. The game has a great foundation but missing a lot of stuff from other BF titles, ground vehicles are so underpowered and out matched by everything air and on foot. And the TTk has to be the longest time to kill I have ever seen in any & I mean any BF game to this day it should not take 2 full magazines on-top of a prayer to kill an enemy player, and the body armor plates deflect direct tank shells like they are rubber shells, dozers shield deflects tank rounds fyi, explain that to me? What is it made of? All of are bf2042s common sense and expectations we have lost and had taken away? Are any of you dice 2042 team members playing this game at all? Hello? If you are trying to let this game fail within the first month of official launch you are already half way to it being a new game with 64 total players online out of millions who have ordered it or been playing it they are not going to stick around refunds are going to come in in the thousands and what you are going to say no? Your money is area enjoy your pathetic excuse of a Battlefield branded title

I agree the turret speed is unrealistic and with a lot of your points, but please reword your post. You only used a single period in that whole wall of text, and I had to re read so many parts of it to understand what you were getting at. A bit of rewording will help people read what you're saying a bit better.

@Kyosji Turret speed is unrealistic.
A new modern Abrams in the real world takes 9 seconds to do a full turn, in 2042 it takes 5 seconds.

@Kyosji Lol somebody had to say it, wow. I agree with the concept about the Wildcat being useless. It’s traversing speed is so slow it can’t track a fast mover, which is the whole point of an AA. I’ve always been an AA * in BF games, having been an operator of the 35mm Oerlikon GDF-005 in the 90s. Give me an AA system so I can relive my glory days damn it. I’d trade it all for a server browser and a scoreboard though EA.

@OSReaper So from a player that has T1 for the Wildcat, tracking Helis is easy, it's only ever difficult when they are already flying over top of you.

Jets can be difficult to deal with, unless they swoop you directly and you know which way they are coming from, then your AA turrets should melt them.

I don't want to post it..
But hands down the best Wildcat set-up is when you have a squad mate in the forward Gunner seat that you can talk too over voice coms.

My set-up for reaching T1 Wildcat..
Driver:
30mm AA turrets - Chopper Killer, Light Armoured Killer, Infantry Killer
Anti-Tank missiles - Great for putting pressure on tanks/Wildcats
Thermal Smoke Package
Repair.

Top gunner:
Heavy machine gun (Not really needed unless farming infantry)

Forward Gunner:
60mm Flak Pod.
(The flak pod absolutely decimates choppers and jets, but it does take time to learn the arch of the projectile)

Using this set-up I've featured in the end of round achievements multiple times with 10-20 vehicles destroyed and a lot of angry pilots.

@Tank2042Man And the 30mm cannon on the tank spins so fast I'm always looking inside the gun while it spins. My point still stands.

can you not just crank up the sensitivity like you can with your soldier? (idk, i don't use vehicles)

@Psubond No, they are locked to a capped rotation speed, which is why when infantry do the little spin jumps and dances at medium to close range they often get missed due to the slow adjustment of the turret.
