Exciting adjustments for the transport vehicles?

Occasionally I like to play a Conquest/Breakthrough round where I just drive around the entire map in the MAV capping points, fortifying positions, spawning friendlies and racking up my score and ass...

@LlamaWithKatana I understand the hate for aircraft but that mentality isn't one of a developer. Their job is to make sure everyone is engaged having fun doing something. The best solution would be to remove the 30mm entirely or make it like the one on the Hokum. Keeping the bombs and stealth mode allow the chopper to do what it was designed to do which is to annihilate enemies in stealth. It's great at killing vehicles in particular and should remain that way so it has a role to fill. You will see significantly less infy farming if the 30mm is nerfed.

@xpaydayx This. Every single “transport” in game having 30mm is a joke. 30mm can farm infantry so easily.

Mini guns on all transports and that’s it. If not, stop calling them transports. Transports aren’t shooting helicopters down and farming troops with 30mm cannon or larger.

    @Zhukov211 I'm assuming you mean the 50mm correct? The transport aircraft use the 50mm not the 30mm. Also transports having miniguns is great but if they don't have a front gun at all IMO they absolutely need vehicle limit restriction lifted. Otherwise, no one will ever fly them again. Nerfing them into oblivion and being them being unviable is my biggest fear because I enjoy flying a lot.

      @xpaydayxTransports like the Recon jeep and Hovercraft have 30mm and higher. This makes every “transport” capable of far too much destruction. That’s transports besides  the Rubber boat and the quad runner. 

      As far as the Condor and Hind, they should have 3 minigin and that’s it. Put a mini gun on the nose and make it an actual transport.

        @Zhukov211 I see what you mean. If they went ahead and removed the 30mm entirely from the land transports too then they would need reworked some more. The key is to give every vehicle a sense of usefulness. At least right now the jeep and actually attack and defend itself against other light craft and infy. If they got rid of the 30mm they could alleviate that by adding more jeeps/hovercrafts per team that way they act as true transports. I know a big talking point is that the maps are too big and we want more transports so that could be an option. Or they could just, ya know, add the frickin ATV to the spawn list considering it's already in the game but perhaps that's a bit too obvious.
