@Straatford87 here are the problems i have with the change:
1) stealth helicopters are a huge problem right now. they only somewhat effective counter is Rao with a FXM-33. That one counter will be taken away. stealth helicopters that do not leave stealth mode will be invincible outside of wildy lucky hits. if Rao tries hacking a stealth helicopter, the helicopter will know where he is and that he can't defend himself while the firewall is up and kill Rao.
2) those of us who have stayed with the game since launch, racking up hundreds of hours of playtime are now having combinations of specialist/gadgets completely taken away such as Irish and an ammo box, Rao and a FXM, Angel and mines/C4 and countless other examples.
I cant speak for others but to me it feels like you are turning on the loyal players in the hopes that people who don't like the game will come back and stay. You are keeping specialists which many of those who left hate AND taking away freedom of gadget choice. We are not getting "halfway happy" we are getting nobody gets what they want. Except for vehicle mains i guess, because they will just farm infantry. Especially the stealth helos because there will be zero effective counter to even chase them away.
