Please don't let it go live that support/medic players don't get an extra free gadget.Why does DICE want to make the support specialists look so bad, it can't be that every class gets a buff except the support, the support should be the best class in the game because it supports active teamplay and also rewards players who are not so good.Gives the support an extra gadget free (smoke grenade launcher or the choice between Medkit or Ammobox), in BFV he also had Defib and 2 gadgets.And remove the 50% HP revives, makes it 100% for everyone. =)Please Dice do not make the mistake and ruin the teamplay, I know you can not force teamplay but you can encourage it, do not release the support as the worst classes in the game that is stupid and harms the game! @Straatford87 @PartWeIsh @TOTALfpsGreetings

It's worth noting that Support will have fast revives which is still a great tool to save friendlies who are in a bad spot. You might not be able to pull off those revives with another Class. At the same time.. you get to shock people in the face which is pretty cool. Additionally, only Support will also have access to Medical + Ammo Crates. That's just for them. That's powerful. They will be extremely crucial to the team in winning any fight. In short.. based on our testing we don't think it's "the worst class", as you call out here.

@Ne0tax Dude it's not a nerf, where are you getting that?As far as I know Falck still keeps her syrette pistol, Irish still has his sentinel and shield, and Angel still has his supply crate THOSE are they're passive traits not the defibrillators.

@Ne0tax I usually run Angel with medic crate or. Falck with an ammo crate none of the changes that they have proposed are going to change that.It is pretty easy to rack up XP between dropping ammo boxes, revives and healing with syrette pistol, that is more than enough of a perk for most.As a matter of fact the changes being proposed are probably going to encourage MORE people to start playing support, since heals and ammo are going yo be at a premium since the other can't equip them.

@Straatford87 Just to clear Angel, Falck and Irish are still able to use their passive traits (loadout crate/syrette pistol/APS-shields) correct?

@Ne0tax wrote:@Ironhead841ye nothing will change on support, only all the others specialists get bufffed with 1+ Gadget. This is why the patch is a nerf for support.@Ne0tax Maybe support is already the perfect class and doesn't need anything :DHell, most people are already running Mackay or Sundance so I just don't think it's going to have the apocalyptic impact that you seem think it will, time will tell, I guess.

Buff Support on the class-update, do not make this mistake!

I think all the extra XP support players get from revives/heals/ammo are enough of a "perk" to be honest.
I don't think they require any special free perks to make them viable and I run support 90% of the time already.

@Ironhead841 You can apply this statement to the other classes as well, but they all get an extra gadget.
Support/Medic should never be the worst class. If this had been in BF3 or BF4 or BFV the games would have been 5x worse.
People are already crying because they are not revived, if the patch goes live like this it will not improve if support/Medic becomes the worst class in the game.

how can something like this come about or even be defended, do people live behind the moon here? It is a clear nerf compared to all other specialists.
If you apply that to everyone, you'd have to take away Sundance's wingsuit and Mackay's Nimble passive.

As much as I would like to trust your playtest, it is not considered here that assaults like Mackay, Sundance who are already S-Tier are buffed and you can revive without support in the squad. Sry but with the system you only get more people to play Assault.
Give me one resson to play in a squad Support, when you can play assault with 3 medpens, Armor plate/C5 and Squad revives + better specialists in combat.

@Ironhead841Yes, nothing changes except you get 1 class Gadget and you are more restricted.

Falk still provides Heal with the syrette pistol and revives everyone back to 100%

Angel still provides Ammo, call in loadout crates and revives everyone with full Ammo for primary/sidearm

Irish -new to the support class- still has his cover/aps system + can revive everyone and refill theyr gadget (bonus from Crawford previously)

All 3 supports then have additionally the possibility to choose between ammo/medbox and so on.

Irish‘ old passive likely will be switched with crawfords and Crawford get a new one.
im a irish Main, certainly it will be new for me to be on the „reviving everyone“ job but atleast I can still provide cover and grenade-free areas and have the possibility to provide everyone with additional heals/ammo via ammo/medbox.
