What is this "vocal minority" you speak about. Almost the whole playerbase has left the game and vehicle/infantry-balance is a big part of this problem.
The maps just doesn't work for combined warfare and until the maps are fixed, removing/nerfing vehicles are the only option available.
I agree about some of the changes being weird. Reducing the number of attack vehicles seems fair, but transport vehicles must be like in BF4, "almost useless" offensively (like a jeep). Seems like the "missing content" bites Dice once again, they do not have any transport vehicles in the game.

Was/is vehicle - inf balance the reason why we see a peek of 2k players on steam? No, it is an issue for sure but even without data to back it up I can confidently say this game didn't tank because of some annoying interactions, so I'm going to have to disagree on that point. Seeing how other titles have more vehicle/inf interactions but have a healthier population and gameplay. If that was the case you'd see people swarming back with these proposed changes.
Balance should also be separated between conquest and breakthrough since both game modes (at least since the last time I played 4 months ago) are vastly different and have different needs. I can agree from what I've seen that BT needs a reduction and adjustments, no one wants to get shelled in a choke point and have 0 meaningful gameplay, but conquest was always geared to be larger scaled. So currently my complaint in regards to this reply is simply the lazy one sweep handling of this issue that may be healthy for one game mode, but poor in execution in the other.- cso77774 years agoSeasoned Ace
@Anti-Tank-KillerThe vehicle / infantry balance has been a big issue, mentioned again and again in the forums and everywhere else. Saying that is a 'vocal minority' seems incorrect.
100+ players are infantry all the time and you need to make sure that most of the players have fun playing the game. If that means that vehicles must be nerfed to oblivion so be it.
I think the biggest issues with vehicle/infantry balance is map design and player count.
I love BF4 and play it still (much more than 2042) and that game has overpowered vehicles, but most of the maps works in a way where infantry can cope with the vehicles. 2042s maps doesn't, as infantry you are left i large open areas, totally at the mercy of vehicles way too often. Suck the fun out of the game and players leave (along with the missing content).- X-Sunslayer-X4 years agoSeasoned Ace
i mean if you want to play vehicles exclusively sure you have to wait longer now but hear me out on this instead of sitting 120s in a spawn screen you could use the free time to, and i need you to hold your horses now, play as infantry. shocking revelation i know it took me a long time to get to that realization as well..... but i am here to impart wisdom where i go
