I couldn't agree more. C5 Drones are absolute BS for any vehilce driver. And anyone defending it, is just denying the fact that its unbalanced.
I saw people mentioning that you need two people to control the drone. One to call the explosion and one to fly the drone. This information is WRONG WRONG WRONG.
You can just put on C5 on the drone by yourself, and fly it into a tank. You don't even need to trigger it. The drone just has to ram the tank and it causes the explosion.
It is the biggest BS ever seen and it allows no hand players to actually be rewarded for something that is just plainly braindead.
When I look at BF4's C4 Jeeps, these were fine. You could SEE them and actually SHOOT them. The driver of the Jeep had to be smart and use his brain to find a flank on the tank.
There I won't complain as its 100% my fault that I just died there. I could have looked around and tried to take the Jeep out as it offers enough area to shoot at.
While the drone on the other hand DOESN'T. You can barely see it, especially in the middle of battle. It is quite mobile which makes it difficult to hit and it can approach from an impossible angle in which neither the driver or the gunner can actually shoot the drone.
Even if a tank is camping on a mountain, you can still shoot it with rockets, SOFLAM lock-on, etc., etc. in which the driver can at least react.
Don't tell me that it is balanced or requires skill. I literally sat down on a corner on renewal and bombed 9 tanks away by just simply ramming the drones into the tanks.
If it was the LATV/Jeep of BF2042 I would not complain as there again just like in BF4, the driver has to be smart + I have enough area to shoot at.
At the moment, each time I drive a tank, I have to constantly look around and move around for the drones and even then sometimes they just outmaneuver you and kill you anyways. SO that isn't a guarantee. I jump out of the tank to shoot the drone with my AR and voila I got headshot and my tank is now empty.
Then there is comments that I should just 50 cal the drones from a far. My guy, Im driving a tank. I want to be in the heat of battle. I want to be able to react on enemy projectiles and infantry and not a minimalistic small drones that I can barely see. I won't stand 50 miles behind my team to snipe down drones.
They just should simply remove the ability to stick C5 to the drone or limit the amount of C5 the drone can carry.
