Removing more transport vehicles from conquest 128? The vehicle count keeps lowering with each update. That pretty much puts the nail in the coffin for this game to me. My eyes are on Arma Reforge can't wait to see what the modders add to the game in the coming months. Arma has my full attention. Goodbye battlefield.

@emerson1975 that does not make the turret any less overtuned and i agree Sundances Wingsuit is also horribly overtuned...Boris just has it coming now and i do hope that SUndances wingsuit is next

I wonder why they're removing the semi-auto fire mode on the AK-24? That doesn't make a lot of sense. Assault rifles always have semi-auto fire settings, every AK since the original AK-47 has had it.I'm surprised they're removing 128 Breakthrough. It's not my thing personally (and that's as much due to crappy map design and the modern setting making it way too easy to flank, as much as the player count) but the folks who did like it seemed very passionate about it. As passionate as any of us can get about anything in this game right now anyway.

@OzzLink Turrets have been in plenty of fps games and nobody complains but your average battlefield player now seems to have some sort of odd entitlement that he should be able to just run around like a headless chicken looking for his next kill!All they have done is making defending even less appealing than it already is

Angel can no longer provide Armor Plates via his Supply Bag
Wasn't that part of his ability? Can armor only be provided when he revies someone now?

@CantGetRight I'm guessing it means the only way to get armor is via using the accessory now? Although they didn't specify the revive piece...

Except the PKP-BP, which has increased vertical recoil. It's a shame, because I've only just started using it and really like it!

@filthy_vegans Yeah the PKP is/was too good. It was basically a 200 ammo assault rifle with barely any recoil (or at least very manageable recoil). It was even better (worse?) prior to the April update where you could just laser guys with it.

Yeah people can now run around like headless chickens and not have to actually look for sentry’s.
I feel bad for boris players because they learnt the best places and tactics to use his ONLY ability and rather than shoot his turret people complained!
Give me a shout dice when you fix vehicle balance and I might install again!

@emerson1975 it does get frustrating if boris players rather panic place tehir turret then using their guns if you engage them....
lets face it the turret was way too overtuned and has rightly been nerfed...
it was basically a wallhack that shot at you....

@X-Sunslayer-X Trouble is that it’s boris’s only ability and all it takes is a few bullets and his ability is gone!
Why is no responsibility placed on the people that just simply run out into the open just to find their next kill?
If anything sundance is massively overpowered yet because she’s probably the most used character nobody says a word
