Give the LATV4 Recon window panes

Hey there,

can we have window panes on this thing?

It's so easily to get shot out, either by explosives or simple stuff. even far distance sniping is not that difficult.

Just windows like for the hovercraft would already be better

    @direct3r It's is meant as a transport vehicle, and should not be buffed at all, the hovercraft has armor so it's harder, but it is quite well compensated since it is hard to control IMO.
  • No because then you will get people camping at the edge of the map with the 30mm cannon

    There's already situations where you can angle the LATV so you cannot shoot the gunner adding more panels would make it even more cancer

  • @direct3r You can shoot through the windows on the hovercraft or bolte as well. Don't park it with the driver/gunners seat facing the combat area and expect to not get shot out. You're an easy target, and you should be.
  • Should be similar to the hovercraft where the occupants are at least protected by explosive damage but can still be shot at with firearms.  The fact 1 rocket or just about any explosive can kill most of the occupants (and the vehicle is still perfectly fine) is kinda ridiculous.  Especially since the LATV4 is already one of the weakest vehicles (which it should be) and the passengers and driver are fairly easy to see.

  • @direct3r A 30mm cannon and high speed isn’t good enough? I’m a pro-vehicle supporter, they should be in the game and be fun to play, but it’s also an infantry game and we need a chance. EA / Dice, don’t mess with the Recon, it’s the last broken of all the vehicles.

    Yeah, because those driving physics in the LATV4 are spot on.

    If you are driving on the moon, that is.

    Someone else gave a good description, “it’s like pushing a shopping cart through a parking lot full of pebbles”. Lol, I thought that was pretty accurate. Driving is a pain in most BF games, but especially 2042. Dice always goes nuts with geometry in their games and the vehicles feel really light. I can’t imagine a tank getting serious hang time from going over a sand dune in real life.

    Since they lowered the vehicle count and moved the bolte to a different category, I think the LATV could use a little more protection. I get shot out of that thing constantly. No one drives the hovercraft because it’s a pain and the physics do not make any sense.

    The maps being so big, I use the LATV a fair amount. Usually you lone wolf with it because no one wants to gun or drive with a random. Understandable, half the population of BF are horrific drivers or trolls. Ramming everyone at the start, because things happen on screen. 


    At some point you’re going to get shot out of it, and I mean every single time you use it. That 30mm you have to basically land every shot before it overheats, and hopefully all the shots actually registered properly. I’ve had so many instances of hitting someone in the chest 2-3 times before it starts showing hit markers. 

    Just a little more protection than what it has already would be great. Leave everything else alone about it. Unless they can work on the physics. 


    I agree with the game needing more infantry friendly maps. We need maps without vehicles like Metro or Lockers. Or maps with less vehicles. It doesn’t have to be the exact same number of vehicles for every map?

  • I'll take armor plating instead of window panes... maybe as a perk for meeting certain vehicle based missions.
