Greetings again forum, it seems no one has really touched on this subject so I'd like to do so and welcome concepts and ideas from others of course! The other thread about MBT's lacking defense prett...

Meanwhile the anti ground vehicle missiles of the Wildcat have both a great range and with a SOFLAM can lock on to aircraft and oneshot them.
The MBTs are just sad.
Clumsy, can be taken out with 4 M5 missiles which is the max a single soldier can carry in a game where everyone can carry 3 on spawn.
Their turret is slow and limited in angles and is the first thing to break if someone shoots at the tank, their blast is weak, their machinegun is doing the damage of a sidearm.
I keep telling people in my games to not waste armored slots on MBTs and level their wildcats
In my experience Wildcats are only a threat to a tank at close range.
I've learnt to engage them at distance and put them in their place.
I'm always checking the main map to spot the enemy Wildcat and then I hunt them down.
As for tanks in general and what I want.
- Increase acceleration speed from a standing start
- Sort out the broken reverse mechanics. The worst in the entire series
- Fix and also improve counter measures against AGMs otherwise tanks will just hide under bridges and underpasses all round
- Increase splash damage of main shell
- Fix broken 3rd person aim when close to objects
- Raise turret angle so good chopper players don't have an easy kill by pounding the tank while staying above turret max angle
I'd be happy with that to be honest. I don't mind a stripped down tank upgrade path after BFV.
@Tank2042Man The thing is we shouldnt -have- to stomach a watered down experience, every other aspect of the game gets a meaningful upgrade so yes, I'm going to have to say I do mind having things kneecapped when glaring balance issues like this are present. And even in learning how to deal with MBT's vs Wildcat's in what would seem like more favorable conditions still has the WC under less pressure even in the most ideal conditions, engagements at range are more forgiving, the platform itself is just generally more forgiving and favors it in most every scenario. It's not about being able to hunt them, it's how effective they are no matter what the case is unless you manage to hit them twice before they find where you are striking from.
But yes, as for tweaks to the tank, those would be welcomed.
