SPH and Airbursts are so strong that they can often overwhelm teamwork. Considering APS sentinels will be nerfed, nerfing Assault class is necessary, I believe.Do we need Assault class in the first place? I'd rather want more Support class players.Edit:I changed the title from "Assault class is stronger than teamwork?" to "Nerf Assault class" after reading the first reply.

@MZR_926 are you questioning DICEs decision-making?

They have already nerfed a lot to the point of almost complete uselessness.

I confess that I use Zain with SPH on many TDM maps. It's quite dirty, especially on Arica and Alemain.

@MZR_926 Really? That’s your solution? Dissolve the assault class? That’s your best? The ongoing specialist nerfs until they’re nothing more than skins not enough for you? You don’t like snipers to off with the heads of the recon class! Oh that medic dropped ammo instead of heals, the support class is useless and has to go. That engineer fired a rocket at me, out they go. C’mon man, offer us something worthwhile. SMP launcher is OP but if they take away the sticky part it would be better. Or limit its range, or whatever else. I’ve T-1d Zane, with the step from T1 to T2 after they nerfed the air burst. It’s barely useful now, it’s why you don’t see it very often. Only the try hards still use Boris, they’ve nerfed that to the bottom. You may not like specialists, I know some do (I’m not one) but they’re here and are the tools we’re given. I’m sure you have some good ideas in your head, stop being lazy and put some thought into it.

The airburst is not the greatest, but the SPH is still very strong, I don't know how you could possibly think it's useless.

When nerfed, it will become useless. You want another useless one like Boris' turrel, K30 and so on? Use Irish' ARS as countermeasure.

Boris’ Turret should never have been a thing to begin with, anything you can place down, auto spot and auto shoot your enemy is stupid. K30 is still good? No, not as good as others but that goes with any gun class, there will always be a better option.

The SPH should not have the sticky effect, that is really stupid.
The airburst is one of those things that are not that overpowered, but shouldn't still be in the game. It is annoying and another thing contributing to all the excessive explosive spam in the game.
I think giving all classes free weapon selection, has made the assault class less of a problem, compared to BFV and BF4.
