Instead of nerfing things requiring teamwork maybe incentivize them?

@Padding_Ur_Stats 2042 ain't much like AV. If anything older BF games with commander mode like BF2 would be more akin to that since there was some actual broader teamplay at work vs. just squads sorta haphazardly running around.

That's likely not coming back on a whole-team level as I doubt the game is technically capable of that level of additional complexity. But there are a ton of smaller changes they can make to promote more cooperation/squad/teamplay in general.

Things like the pips on your loadout screen showing you what gear your squad is rolling with is a good example.

Another example would be adding back "legacy spotting" (like how it used to work where your spot tagged the person visually and didn't just tag the location you spotted them) for squad-only (not the whole team).

Additional XP for squad-assists and actual vehicle-assist kills, since even if you did 95% of the damage to a vehicle if someone else destroys it you get nothing other than the part damage XP.

Make more vehicles act as mobile spawn locations so there's more incentive to position them smartly and keep them alive (you could spawn on more vehicles in previous BF games).

Basically, sweeten the pot in terms of rewarding actual teamplay activities to promote and reward this kind of behavior, as was largely done in most previous BF titles.
