Nightbird pilots also clearly like going 100-0
There's a class dedicated to dealing with vehicles, that shoots rockets that deal the same damage C5 does, but from a distance. As you say yourself, this doesn't stop you from soloing vehicles, it just makes it a bit harder, which is the whole point, soloing vehicles shouldn't be this trivial - you shouldn't be able to traversal sprint near one of 2042's vehicles, start throwing the C5 from 5m away, and blow it up that fast.
- xVulture1 year agoSeasoned Ace@Lady_One Why not? It has been that way in past games. If you can get close enough to a tank, then you should be able to destroy it.

@xVultureYou can still solo clueless tanks if you really want to do that, which both I and the OP mention.
Nevermind that mentioning the past games is a false equivalence. There was no traversal sprint and crouch sliding in BF4, you could barely even throw the C4 a meter let alone the ~5-6 you can still fling it here, all vehicles handled much better, and you couldn't slow down/freeze a tank, be it with the grenades for it, or through a smoke anyways with Rao. AND it didn't persist after you died, it just vanished.

@Lady_OneWhat? The throwing distance is significantly nerfed compared to prior games... And tactical sprint and crouch slide barely make any sort of difference, you just need 10% better aim max, and on console aim assist takes care of that for you. I don't know what you're on about.
- MADMAC50K1 year agoSeasoned Ace@Lady_One without C5, soloing vehicles with rockets is almost impossible due to APS/Thermal smoke/Repair. Plus mines are about to get nerfed also. If they remove C5, they should buff rocket damage.

@MADMAC50KWe're going to get +1 rocket (on top of Crawford); I don't know why that had to be in an upcoming update and not now, it's just a number, but it is coming, see the 7.0.0 notes.
Personally I wish the M5 got more rockets than that but oh well.
And besides that, I think the vulcan and the sentry gun should be better against vehicles; I've seen people suggest letting Crawford build stationary TOW launchers and I second that idea.

Not just Recon, assault as well. It's never been a problem, you just need to not solo operate a tank and have situational awareness.
