That still does not address the drop in the quantity (29 vs 19 maps for example).
If you are happy with less content in about the same (or smaller) number of months then good for you.
that's because it is besides the point. NOt arguing which game got the most support on my spreadsheet. Which game got the least support. And where does the post launch support of every other BF game rank in between those on my spreadsheet. They all got a good chunk of support. If it helps you cope, then use BFV as the baseline for this support.
I'm saying for a guy that can see the big picture with the hate cycle, you sure are having a difficult time seeing the big picture with the ~18 month post launch support cycle.
DICE has a great track record of supporting every one of their BF games post launch. Thus not only is 2 way communication rather impossible because int his case it's ~1 person on one side and millions on the other side. But hardly needed as reassurance as their track record speaks for itself and is louder than words.

BFV was the US Afghanistan retreat of game supports.
Since you love repeating that 18 month count, allow me to point that that it was 18 months between the end of last named content patch of BFV and the release of BF2042. A gap as long or longer than the new content support of BFV.
In comparison between the announcement of the end of support in BF4 and BF1 there were 7 months and the entire support period lasted 28 months.
Meanwhile BF1 kept getting new content for 16 months with a 9 month gap between BF1 and BFV.
If I still cannot get the point across about how BFV was abandoned early compared to the gap between games then I give up at trying to explain that.
All this is unrelated with the hate cycle of unfinished BF games that get finished (or closer to finished in the case of BFV) down the line.
Sure, in isolation BFV can be considered fine in not for the greater legacy of the things that came before it.
