Less vehicles is a misguided solution to the true problem!
It most certainly is. There are active individuals on this forum even who have explicitly said they dont want to have to swap their loadouts to deal with vehicles... despite that always having been the requirement in BF games previously if you werent equipped to deal with something. And we even have a specialist that allows it to happen without dying/respawning.
Vehicles in this game are, and have always been, structured around squad based game play. And the multiple nerfs already to heliocopters because people cant be bothered to pick up a stinger, spawn an aa or use a soflam and an M5 is just absurd and was totally unnecessary.
Now we have a slower and shared spawn on these vehicles and they're totally inaccessible.
I used to be able to get attack helios a few times a game, now i cant even get one more than 1-2 times across two or three maps.

I assume you are referring to me here....
Care to post the quote where I explicity said I didn't want to swap kits to deal with vehicles?
The only comments I've made on this matter are:
-The stinger is boring. Lock on/automated weapons are inherently unfun. I'd like to see a skillbased, dumbfire, AA launcher option. Lower skill floor, higher skill ceiling.
-Such a skillbased AA launcher should offer the user some hope of downing a good pilot.
I can only imagine how much more triggered you'd be if I actually asked for a hard nerf to vehicles or a hard buff to the stinger.
For what it's worth I'm not the vehicle hater you make me out to be. Other opinions I hold:
-C5+Drone should be removed.
-Wingsuit + C5 should be removed.
-All Battlefield maps should have planes and tanks
-My best Battlefield experiences were in Desert Combat modded servers with 12+ heavy armor and 7+ air vehicles per side on 48 man servers.
