Nerf the Sentry gun its ridiculousNerf the helis & the bolte or at least give us rockets that are useful, & take some away from the choppers, the tanks & their accessories are just soo terrible compared to BF5& when you throw an emp grenade at a vehicle it should cut the engine as well so they don't just steem about running you overI played a whole breakthrough game where I was not killed by someone on foot. it's not Carmageddon...& whats with unlimited ammo for vehicles but the foot grunts run out quicklyParticularly annoying is when you run across a room to revive & suddenly they are half under a concrete block or a fence & you get killed trying several times to revive & you cantSpawning between enemies or in completely the wrong place when you clicked on the flag, is just basic stuffThe specialists, why no Russians, in fact, why the hell bother at all, just give us 1 more gadget slot for their special trait & the ability to change your own personal character like near enough every other game you make!!!!!!!POOR POOR POOR SORT IT OUT

I think they should come back with the commander mode where they drop supply crates for the vehicles and that is the only way they can replenish the ammo. Or the only way Jets can resupply is flying over the landing strip.

Getting sick & tired of this extremely unbalanced game already

Unlimited ammo has always been a thing for vehicles. The issue is that they have these HUUUUUGE maps....with nothing in them. There's a lot of empty, no cover areas that will put infantry on the * end of the stick 10 out of 10 times. They were lazy in these map designs, and because of it, vehicles have very little to counter them other than other vehicles. Even with Helis....the maps in 2042 are massive and have a much higher ceiling. AA only has a range of ~ 400, so any lock on they can simply fly up for 1-2 seconds and they're in the clear. Since it will always take more than 1 AA to kill you, and unless your hacked (again, short range compared to map size), your flares will save you and you'll be able to see roughly who was targeting you and take them down with your near infinite barrage of missiles or the only useful minigun in the game. Helicopter balance is also an issue compared to other vehicles, same with bolte

@CantGetRight Only thing I ever used Commander Mode on was attempting to drop crates on snipers.

For starters they should really do something about the Bolte's.. Choppers... maaaaybe, their strength depends alot on the map and objective you're at.
And yes. Just get rid of these stereotyped Specialists and give us back regular, customisable soldiers with a clear distinction between US and RU troops because right now I'm getting sick of missing the 1 enemy squirrel girl in the middle of 4 friendly ones... I'm not paying for skins on characters I don't even like! Some abilities are okay but the character is just... no.
I'm more willing to buy cosmetics to customize my SOLDIER than a skin for a specialist.
The balance of guns is also completely off... LMGs and SMGs are acting like an AR and an AR must be built like an SMG/LMG to match the balance...
Totally agree on the spawns... wth is this? Sometimes I get constantly spawned in front of enemies or even between them and I can't spawn on squad because they're in combat. So option 3: Pick a different objective and run, just to get sniped in the open... So much waste of time and completely unrewarding "gameplay"

@Daeyon-be With the spawning, it doesn't help that you ALWAYS fumble with yoru gun needlessly when you respawn, so if someone is right there, better check that chamber first!

@Kyosji I don't mind the animation, looks great... but not so practical with 3 people standing in front of you just laughing before you get shot... again

Oh yes, this. It was much more fun taking off from runways and having to return to resupply or land in order to repair.

I don't find the bolte's to be an issue.
c5, landmines, shooting through the windows, rockets and soflam can take them out pretty easy.
If you're sick to death of getting ran over then put up those little fence barriers or sentry guns as they are very effective at stopping them and slowing them down.
People seem to forget that the game has ways of dealing with threats through a selection of gadgets and weapons.
It seems like ill-equipped players expect to take on a vehicle with an SMG and a smoke grenade.

@Teknohead23 Unlimmited ammo on vehicle light machine guns is fine, its the bloody rocket and 30mm spam and it definitely should not be unlimmited.

Hiding out of bounds, smashing spawn points - the advantage vehicles have is disgusting, it is like the game was set up as an infantry farm.

A) limit rocket ammo and 30mm rounds
B) limit flying areas to get them away from spawns
C) Move the Bolte and Nightbird out of transport and make them compete with the Apache / Main Battle Tank for spawns (this way its a choice between fast attack or armor and less attack vehicles while providing infrantry with cover)
D) Bring in better APCs for again, more infantry protection and objective play

The Sentry gun is fine, especially compared to Scumdance whos map coverage is actually broken.

The EMP is strong enough.

The spawning does need a revision, agreed.

I think most of the community agrees that classes are superior to specialists, and the game was lacking a lot of options we expected from Battlefield 4 - if anything they could of expanded the game to "5" core classes.

If you want some of things in the game...
A) Assists should only be 25xp, but the game should reintroduce assist counts as kill when you do 70% of the damage to a player (and it damn well count towards the gun total kills)
B) Healing and Resupplying should be 10xp
C) There should still be a Headshot bonus and Marksman bonus...
D) If being roadkill prevents a res, so should being headshot from a sniper rifle or killed from a high calibre round (yes I'm suggesting the NTW could have an advantage here)
E) The variation in weapons, and optics for those weapons is terrible
F) The spotting is excessive and some weapons have an advantage with both their silencer types and high power optics
G) The DMRs suck - especially compared to Sniper Rifles and AC42
H) I could go on about this all day...There is so much QOL missing its quite depressing.
