I don't know where to put this thread, but is it intended behavior for Bolte to flip on it's side so easily and you basically have to leave it like that because nothing can flip it back so it self destructs in like 10 seconds? I'm attaching someone else's image so you can see the position I find myself in most of the time when picking a Bolte.

It's not fun, it's a waste of time, it doesn't bring anything to gameplay so I don't know why this would be intended design to be honest.

I wasn't going to make a thread but I've just about had it when I just flipped my Bolte at the start of the round going over a 10% incline and taking a sharp turn, this vehicle is borderline unplayable with the way it randomly flips for no reason.

Other vehicles are far more difficult to flip over so I'm not even sure if the vehicle recovery mechanic is in this game like it was in BFV where you could easily recover any flipped vehicle by just pressing the standard movement/driving keys (WASD). Shooting a rocket at a flipped Bolte doesn't move it at all.

 Bolte is extremely easy to flip over due to way it's shaped I guess, there's about a 70% chance that it will get stuck on its side rather than actually getting killed or destroyed by enemies, it's so frustrating picking a vehicle and then get smacked by an allied tank coming out of the base (oh btw who thought a few meters wide exit for 10 vehicles on some maps is a good map design?) and you're left without your vehicle 10 seconds into the round.

Or going over a small bump in a road and bam your vehicle now starts a self-destructing sequence!

The overall vehicle gameplay, mechanics and balancing are so messed up in this game and this is just one of a million things that are wrong with vehicles.

Idk if anyone from EA will read this but please bring back vehicle recovery.
