Lack of Tank Defensive Capabilities
Hello forum, long time no chat! A little bit of background on myself, I've been an active battlefield player since BF1942, and generally focused on (when it existed) Engineer type game play or of co...

@UP_Hawxxeye I understand this is also an issue, this is more on the subject of defensive capabilities and the lack of, rather then mechanical tweaks which yes, would also improve survivability against some threats. The slow turret turn rate took some getting use to but it can be slightly helped with movement of the vehicle in the direction you are turning.... slightly.

Sure but generally lack of mobility is a serious demerit in the survivability of anything.
The hovercrafts and the bolte were a major pain because they can hit and move away before the entire team has time to realize they can all aim launchers at them. The Jets are harder to take down than an attack helicopter because they will not stay anywhere near long enough for 2 consecutive AA missiles to come at them from the ground.
In terms of purely defensive capabilities I am more of a fan of the reactive armor because APS can be supplied indirectly from Irish specialists.
I think we can all agree something has to be done to improve tank defense.
they should remove this locked turning speed of the turret doesnt make sense at all when u r surrounded by enemies.

His little APS suitcase can't actually be placed on a vehicle and having an Irish with you to get out and place it on the ground every time you stop moving for a few seconds isn't really viable. Especially considering even if you do place it on one side of a tank the other sides are still vulnerable.
