Re: General suggestion for vehicle spawn screen and Hind/Condor situation

Previous BF games didn’t have or need world destroying transports plus tanks, plus attack choppers and all of those titles unequivocally kick the crap out of 2042.

Previous BF games did have an abundance of lightly armed transports or no armaments at all on a plethora of true transports and that formula works magnificently.

YES to the Blackhawk BTW!

Wildcat and Bolte in the same category? The AA tank needs its own category in order to not have someone taking the Bolte and thus leaving their team down 1 Anti Aircraft platform. 

Also what about DICE linking certain vehicles to certain maps in 2042? What about DICE changing the type and available numbers of vehicles according to what each map calls for, like they have done for all previous BF games?

In previous BF games we wouldn’t see every single vehicle in game available on every single Conquest map.  I’d imagine a lot of great maps from previous BF titles would be absolutely ruined if DICE went the 2042 route and just tossed every single vehicle game into every single Conquest map.

So going the classic BF route, the Hind might not be super OP if there was only one available for each team on a specific map, but that map had more MAVs, a few tanks, no attack helos but jets. Perhaps another map has the 2 AA tank per team, 1 regular tank, 2 Hind, 2 Condor but only 1 little Bird per team as attack choppers as well as 2 jets per team. It’s not just a balancing thing but also a nice change of pace to have a different vehicle line up from map to map. 

We also need to discuss the fact that the Wildcat’s anti air capabilities are laughably weak. The 40mm and 57mm rounds aren’t proper flak rounds that explode mid air in proximity to targets. This is tech that’s been in video games since the year 2000. Either the DICE guys/gals that did the AA tank don’t know how flak rounds actually work, they didn’t have the time, or they had the time but couldn’t get the proximity detection to work. Whatever the reason, the lack of deadly Flak rounds coming from the ground is compounding the current issues we see with the Condor and Hind. 

@Zhukov211 

Fully agree on Wildcat and buffing it anti-air capabilities via flak rounds. And perhaps on moving it to the category of it own, but only if said flak rounds introduced, so it was a proper anti-air rather than jack of all trade
