No Attack vehicles for Defenders in Breakthrough after update 1.1 (BUG)

@SpudBugthe nightbirds were just as annoying in their own way with the pre patch rocket spam.
The nightbirds are also a pain for the jet to see because they are so freaking small.

But the fix for aircraft is  always more aircraft to distract or destroy them with

I begged to differ, it gets much worse. Now Attackers have the absolute advantage with the air vehicles locked out for defenders. Defenders also have to spread out while attackers, having the benefit of 2 Transports can traverse around the points much easier.

Breakthrough as always been balanced in favor of the attackers ever since Dice gave them increased tickets back when objectives used to be on rooftops. The old 128 BT layouts defenders always had 1 less armor, 1 less attack aircraft, and one less transport for defenders. Back with the old Hourglass, Breakaway, and Manifest layouts, good vehicle players communicating were able to shutdown the attackers vehicle game entirely. 

@BURSALI  looks like we both did. But I don't think DICE will be fixing this for a while. I'm done with BT until DICE wakes up.

The current state of the god mode Stealth Helos shows long time BF fans that the current DICE team has absolutely no idea what be there doing with vehicles.

Most of the problems with game balance comes from broken OP vehicles or vehicle numbers. 

I can only hope that DIcE hires someone from the old blood that worked on BF4 or BF1 to help sort out the imbalances with vehicles. 

@SpudBugHind/Condor omnipresence are almost single handedly destroying the game in every game mode where present.

Doubt me? Replace all Hind/Condor with Blackhawks from Portal and see the difference. I can guarantee the game will play more like the Battlefield we know and love and less like Hind/Condor AC130 Gunship simulator. 

Thats assuming DICE has an internal review of the god mode Stealth helo and brings some sanity to these extremely OP attack craft. 

@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.
