You seem to be have blinders on about this issue and are making it into something it is not. Try changing your playstyle to deter air vehicles or learn how to fly a jet or heli and kill them yourself.
@SpudBugYa nah. After 20 years of Battlefield I’m capable of giving a fair and informed opinion.
You telling us that “all is well” with vehicle balance is laughable. Player numbers and gamer’s abysmal opinions of 2042 compared to previous BF games say as much.
All previous BF titles have a nice balance as far as vehicles and maps on Conquest maps. Maps like Amiens for example in BF1 only has 1 tank per team and 2 armored cars. Each team can get an additional tank via capturing specific objectives. Note zero aircraft.
Conquest on Argonne Forest has no vehicles(except for the train when one side loses badly) at all and is one of the best maps of all time for the franchise. Note NO VEHICLES at all.
Operation Locker, Metro, the BF3/BF4 Asian Market Map. No vehicles at all or just a MAV type vehicle and some quad runners.
BF4’s Paracel storm has tons of vehicles is an
absolute master piece. Though I can guarantee Paracel Storm with 2 Hinds and 2 Condors per team plus stealth Helos would be an utter nightmare for any ground vehicle or infantry players. Anyone saying anything to the contrary is flat out lying through their teeth.
2042 on the other hand we see DICE shoving every single vehicle in game into every single Conquest map. That includes 64 player maps. 64 player maps have the same number of vehicles as 128 player maps. If it’s not obvious, that’s broken and adversely effects the infantry experience.
Then there’s the fact that the Hannibal and Huron even exist. These stunningly overpowered aircraft prove beyond any reasonable doubt that DICE has absolutely no idea how to balance vehicles.
The Battlefield formula as far as vehicles that works magnificently in previous games has been abandoned in 2042 and 2042’s player numbers and dismal reviews for the game tell the tale.
- spudbug3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Zhukov211 The game loses players and has bad reviews because the maps are utterly empty and boring and because of a huge number of bugs and problems. Including basic things like glitchy and unresponsive mouse and analog input when aiming which still hasn't been fixed.
You need to get some perspective and realize just because you die to helis a few times in a match they don't need to be removed from the game..
Increase the spawns to 3 armor, 1 jet, and 2 attack helis per side and the game will improve because teams can actually fight among vehicles instead of just using vehicles to farm.- Zhukov2113 years agoSeasoned Ace
@SpudBugDid you even read my post? Have you played previous BF games? What are some of your fav maps?
The answer to max number of vehicles being present in every single match, on every single Conquest map, is NOT adding more vehicles so infantry are farmed at even higher rates 😂🤣.
Your formula would have me instantly uninstalling.
And please don’t insult my intelligence by telling me to “go play infantry only” on Portal on servers that have 5 human beings. That’s not the answer.- spudbug3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Zhukov211 I am not going to play this game of "you're not a real battlefield player" but I mainly played engineer in bf3 and bf4 and hunted vehicles.. it is far easier to kill vehicles as infantry in this game.
