Hovercrafts - Do something now Dice

add the bolte. its way to OP.

I'm sorry, DICE, if you guys released the LCAA with more armor than a main battle tank, somebody needs to get fired.  That's just totally insane.

Lighten the armor drastically.  Paradoxically, go ahead and make the windows bulletproof against small arms (they really would be IRL) but vulnerable to the .50 anti-materiel rifle.  Likewise a .50 BMG rifle should damage it but not, of course, OHK it unless you hit it somewhere vulnerable...not that BF2042 seems to track that, I think?  Anyway, two M5s to that thing should kill it...like the LATV, the LCAA should have speed and maneuverability as its armor.  Downgrade the armament as a secondary change, a minigun is not out of place for that type of vehicle but I'm not sure about the remote side LMGs (and, honestly, can anybody hit anything with those anyway?  I can't).  And I like the suggestion of letting it carry driver/gunner/4 passengers, so it's a transport instead of an all-purpose murder skimmer.

Here's a sneak peak on what the team is doing in the next update. This is what was mentioned regarding the LCAA Hovercraft.

• The LCAA Hovercraft will be re-equipped with lighter armor, lowering its health, and we're tuning down some of its weaponry

Repost for visibility. 

The M5C Bolt is the tracked equivalent to the Hovercraft. Whatever happened to the good old IFV Bradley lol... 

well, thats how its look in reality, its hovering but have a skirt that touch the ground.

But seriously, how does one discover such thing as climbing walls in a hovercraft?

Player start pushing against the building while in a vehicle and boom up he goes?

I mean, how does one get an idea to even try something like that?
