Overlooked issue of Vehicle number changes (yes this effects you infantry)

Direct ripping this from my trash reddit post that wont go live because I just activated my account tonight. Hi, I really held off jumping onto this platform but it seems the most active. So since...

@OskooI_007 How does 'look what these changes might do' translate to 'vehicle players are having fun' ???? Nowhere did I say anything initially about or even hint at 'I'm having fun/I dont want to play infantry'

This is just another example of that tunnel vision mentality of "me see word vehicle in post, me try to say edgy thing unrelated to post because vehicle players mad now me mad"

If anything we will see more posts complaining about getting pounded out by overgunned transport heli's but like I said, I could be 100% wrong in what I am seeing.
Not to excuse the running simulation at all, which I agree the map designs, and mechanics are super * poor, but I am pretty sure no one wants to babysit the air with buggy AA missiles or get pounded to dust by literal flying castles.

If I am mad at anything, it's the handling of this and the possible big oversight. So I'd have to say your 'confirmation' that only vehicle players are having fun seems pretty bad right now. I didn't have fun in any aspect of the game which is why I haven't touched it in about 3 months, so besides bolte players and nightbirds, who actually is having fun?

@Anti-Tank-Killer Your name says it all! If you don't like vehicles go play team deathmatch on portal or make your own portal servers where there are no vehicles. Battlefield has always been about combined arms. And these changes go way too far to cater to infantry only players... Thats not what I bought the game for. I bought it for the grand all out warfare experience that we currently have in that mode. Yes the balance isn't perfect but less punishing changes can be made for the vehicles. Panzerstorm on BF5 had 7 tanks per team on 64 conquest and you are * telling me we are now only going to get 2 per team on 128 conquest with 2 minute cool down?! Yeah hell no! 

More cover is being added which will help with the balance 

Bolte/night bird should be put into their own categories and capped at 2 or 3 per team. That will greatly reduce the complaints from infantry 

Some of these maps need more tanks than what we currently have. The biggest map in the game only has 3 tanks per team. That is extremely sad

The truth of the matter is if this change takes place, the vehicle oriented players will stop playing this game and thats a large amount of players. (Majority who enjoy combined arms). This aspect of battlefield is what attracts these people.  And the people who already stopped playing aren't going to be coming back. So the player count is going to drop even further.

    Battlefield with extremely limited vehicles in 128 player mode is like a PB&J sandwich with limited jelly...at first it sounds healthy, until you choke to death...

    BF 2042 without vehicles is a generic version of COD.  

    And as I posted in another "Please don't kill BF by removing vehicles" thread:

    Apex Olympus map has 11 Trident vehicle transports for 60 players, yet Battlefield 128 player modes will now have less vehicles than Apex 60 player mode?

    Is this the final hint from EA that they want us all to transition from BF 2042 to Apex?

      @DeepSixxxx The problem is that the maps are a big disaster and Dice has so far promised 2 maps 'fixed' during S1. S1 is still not here (for at least a couple of months), and at the moment they cannot do much else than what they do now.

      Perhaps when all the maps have been fixed, they can adjust the number of vehicles, but at the moment the maps are not made for combined warfare on a large scale, so the vehicles must be nerfed.

        It is pretty demoralizing then you 120mm tank shell an enemy soldier 3 foot from their feet and they take minimal damage and they fairy dust the tank with C5 magic.

        Direct shooting players in the face with 30mm Bolte shots and having them laugh kind of funny too.

        At this point, Dice is simply destroying one aspect of the game in an attempt to band-aid broken structural game mechanics.

        I believe the game is getting less fun with each Band-aid...as each fantasy change pushes the game farther from legacy BF to fantasy Apex/Fortnite.

        It would seem the "BattleRoyale Dice Managers" are "winning" the battle and losing the war...

    @thepuppetmaster7 If you're actually referring to my name I really think you might want to do a double check on that one lol.

    No idea where this came from but I think you're foaming at the wrong person, or somehow someway completely jumped to some random farfetched conclusion that any of what you said was something I was trying to say.
