Feel like C5 is really overpowered....Added Edit: C5 Drones need fixing too. the only getting worse the more people that find out about them. EMP any vehicle and then detonate on them due to confusionOriginal post: that it can take any vehicle without a doubt in "Milliseconds"... I feel like the damage needs reducing OR throwing them needs to be slowed down by 3-5 secondsWhat's your thoughts ?

@ADHD_Mate They are exactly the same as in all other battlefields. No they don't need to be nerfed in any way.

C5 is perfect the way it is. Its hard enough to get close to vehicles just to deploy c5 properly in these massive wide open maps. The last thing c5 needs is a nerf. Dice just needs to fix the c5 drone move. C5 shouldn't be able to stick to drones

@EA_Blueberry i have been using it alot also saw some teammates use it it is op currently in 1 game i destroy like 12 tanks with it from distance they cant hear or see me if i would play as a tank i would be mad

@ADHD_Mate In my opinion, I find the C5 perfect as it is in the game right now. It works the way it has always been in previous Battlefield games.What I feel is unacceptable is that you can place C5 on drones and 1 shot vehicles. If your drone with the C5 gets shot, all you lose is your drone. But if you manage to hit your target, you get rewarded with XP, multi-kills , vehicle destroyed ribbon. That I feel is extremely unfair and more of an exploit.

No it works differently. Everyone is using C5 on drones. Also, because of the AWFUL audio a driver or gunner can't hear if anyone is approaching the vehicle. Pair that with the insanely quick "get out of vehicle, deploy, and explode C5" tanks barely have a chance. Tanks are all I've ever played, and it's a bigger problem in this game than it was in Bf4 or 3, and there deployable explosives were hardly an issue in Bf1 or bfv either

It's far from perfect due to what appears to be silent approaching footsteps and silent charge placement.
This could be due to the audio mix in general which seems too 'busy'.
And no tank apart from a complete noob is getting C5'ed sitting in the middle of a wide open area. And no player apart from a noob is attempting to approach a tank sitting in a wide open area. Tanks are getting C5'ed in built up areas where its easy for infantry to hide or just parachute in from the many vertical parts of the map.

@EA_Blueberry As others have said, fairly common in breakthrough (and frankly, very effective) for dealing with vehicle snipers or infantry blobs.
I haven't seen it much in conquest, though i think that's due to the speed of the drone and the amount of terrain to cover/drone going out of range, easier to deploy effectively with a bottlenecked map and lots of troop concentrations.

If a vehicle is moving it's a lot harder unless you have people working in pairs with comms (one flying the drone, one placing and detonating the C5).
With the guy flying calling the detonation without needing to disconnect from the drone/pull out the detonator, it's a pretty evil combo.

In the case of the latter it's obviously effective against just about anything that can't move faster than the drone, you've essentially got a tow on steroids you can fire from complete safety of cover with no uncontrolled forward momentum to worry about.

tbh i find it very easy to destroy a tank with a c5 drone even if its moving i mostly use it on tanks that are in between me and the objective everytime i spawn he kills me so i suicide drone them

Drone+Jeep Stuff will dwindle once vehicle numbers and damage are balanced. You could do this in previous games so I don't expect, nor really want, to see it removed

Do you all see people using this C5 drone technique a lot? I haven't seen it myself, or at least I haven't noticed. I can see it being a little more overpowered for a mode like Hazard Zone since lives are limited.
once in ~8 hours for me.

@EA_Blueberry During the first 5 days or so it was rare. But over the last 3 days Im seeing it all the time. I would say %50 of the time I die in a tank is from a C5 drone

@zakrocz Exactly. If you're in a tank and in a tight space with short lines of sight then you deserve to get blown up with C5. IMOnthats exactly the way it should work. The recoiless is better at taking out armor at a distance and C5 is better in close in a tight area. Its working as intended

Some people are abusing the drones use as a flying bomb with the C5 that's for sure, unless that's intended to be used that way.

C5 is ok if used normally, because it takes risk to place it, but I'm constantly getting killed in my MAV with drones + C5 it's unfair, it takes no risk and no skill, in this second scenario the C5 is totally overpowered taking armored vehicles instead of normally.
