MAPS lacking Armored Air/Ground vehicles
Please don't tell me this is the direction you guys are going with on vehicle balances........ (Kaleidoscope) -2 Armored tanks per team and only 1 attack aircraft per team on 128 conquest?!? -This...

I dont think its about not liking vehicles from infantry side. They haven’t provided adequate tools for infantry to defend themselves. Lock rockets break lock way too easily or for no reason and range is way too short. Non lock rockets are too slow and do paltry damage if the do hit. Less vehicles is a misguided solution to the true problem!
completely disagree with you. I'm sure we can both agree that practically everyone runs around with a rocket launcher. Multiple players with rocket launchers tanks dont stand a chance. I waited 10 min to get a tank, 2 min later after spawning in one got wiped out by 4-5 players with rocket launchers! Stingers and Soflam + Rocket launcher combo is devastating already against air vehicles. Not to mention wildcat AA. Also adding more tanks/helis helps promote vehicle vs vehicle combat. Therefore vehicles are less likely to target infantry. If theres 2 tanks per team they are less likely to engage each other because they are nowhere near each other.
I see your point. If squads play as a squad which they have made difficult in 2042, vehicles would have little recourse but to fight each other. However as the balance currently stands vehicles will still feel overpowered particularly if there are more on the map. Not having weapons specific to class may have made their life more difficult when it comes to infantry to vehicle balance since everyone can carry rockets. I will look forward to a match when all those players start working together with all those rockets.
I mostly fly the bird and it is just an absolutely miserable experience trying to get one now with 4.0 it just completely zapped all enthusiasm I had toward this game. Now with 1-2 slots total for the nightbird, jet, and attack chopper midgame it is a long wait or just not happening. And its too hard to get one at the start now since they took away the voice queues at the beginning of the match. You can't anticipate what side you are going to be on so you can't preemptively place your mouse cursor over the vehicle icon anymore. It is complete luck of the draw now so with a limited vehicle pool and long cooldowns I spent a ton of time at the spawn screen waiting and that is not fun to me. I just want to fly I really don't see the big deal about that. It is what I find fun and it is in the game for a reason. It should be easier to get one. Same thing goes for every other vehicle.
