Going to be a no to a nerf for me too. It can be shot easily and, despite it being really helpful, I don't seem to notice loads of people using them.

@ElliotLH But why no simple limit to it or a cooldown, have it work with an ammo box or something.
Unlimited just makes no sense, that just ensures that there are situations that make it completely OP and not make sense looking at how any other gadget works.
- ElliotLH3 years agoHero+@doubleome I guess it's just a difference of opinion really. They seem underutilised to me, whereas if they were more widespread then it'd be a problem, and are one of the gadgets I don't mind encountering (rather a sentinel than a Boris turret basically).

There is nothing wrong with the sentinel. It is easy to destroy (if im running soflam/mk4 i always make sure to take them out as well as spawn beacons)
- 3 years ago@ElliotLH Pointless in vehicles in conquest where you are always moving even if it's a few metres and the fact that anyone can shoot them safely from distance means they are not worth the effort.
I've rarely come across another vehicle player using them which strongly suggests they aren't effective.
Dice know this from the data which is probably why they are adding APS to all armour.- ElliotLH3 years agoHero+@Tank2042Man Yep I can see that being a factor in people not using them a great deal. They're really helpful on quite a few BT maps, but I can see them being much less effective if you're on the move.

The sentinel is widespread in my region. Most of the ground vehicle players use it.
