Accessibility to vehicles was something I just gave up on. And this change on first impressions is likely to make it worse. 

my  reference point is BF4. Vehicles were pretty well balanced. With a team you could survive pretty well, but up against an organised infantry you could easily wipe out.

on 2042, getting a vehicle is near on impossible, I just gave up bothering.  The time out is just dumb. It totally spoils the flow as a vehicle driver. I expect that as a squad on comms you can organise a team to dominate vehicle spawns making it a lot easier to get a good vehicle based game going. But on your own, forget it.

also, I always switch between ground or air secondary weapons. 

Neither of which I’ve been able to effectively use. Planes are Almost always hitting the deck and flying out of bounds, which is fair enough, good pilots will use the environment.

But when they don’t or they make a mistake, or I’ve prepared  well in advance for a decent vantage point it’s for the most part pointless waist of time.. Missile lock range is too short. Most of the time even with a lock and no flares or defences having coaxed them out before firing, the missiles would just shoot off randomly. 

even when I do get a hit, it’s hard to tell if it’s had any real effect. For the most part it requires other players or planes to be engaged to get a confirmed kill. 

so until squad play is improved and comms enabled, as a lone player, it’s overall just quite disappointing not at all satisfying playing to take vehicles down. 

Personally I don’t think 128 player servers will ever be balancable from a vehicle point of view. You need more vechicles. Not less. So with 128 players, I just don’t see that working, especially if for performance reasons you can’t add more tanks.
