Re: Bolte track damage penalty is too severe - it becomes far too slow when damaged

@Metal_Daryl97As it stands there is 0 reason to take the bolte over the RAM, or any other tank tbh, so unless they move it to a "lightly armored" category, a fix wont be needed nor prioritized.

Also it should not have been put in the Armored category but its design and armament is not suitable for the Light category either.

    Yep, that right there is the biggest issue. They didn't take the time to make a separate category for these vehicles. The same way that the little bird shouldn't be a transport or an attack vehicle either. 

    Seeing an enemy bolte on the field makes me happy because it means that someone didn't pick a better vehicle for the category, the same as seeing a jet in the air. Unless they are a top-tier jet pilot they are wasting their team's singular air attack vehicle slot. However, the opposite happens when I see a friendly jet in the air and they manage to stay alive for the entire match. With a final kill count of 4 and 6 assists, completely ruined my attacking team's chances of winning in breakthrough.

    While I agree that the bolte is less effective than the other armored vehicles, I still use it, just because I find it to be more fun than the other vehicles (especially if you are trolling/baiting with the AT mines)

    I feel that jets are underpowered vs the choppers but since choppers are often too busy farming infantry to notice the jet, the choppers become easy targets.

    I think a better metric for the effectiveness of a jet pilot is the number of enemy air vehicles around - an effective jet pilot would keep the sky free from enemy aircraft without necessarily getting many kills (enemies often bail out). By relieving the pressure of enemy aircraft on infantry, you definitely help your teammates
