They've basically added cooldowns on the Irish sentinel that make it inactive for well over half the time. And different sounds and flashes to indicate which mode its in. They didn't mention it in this link. But, there is also a boot-up delay of 1 second according to the designer comments on inside battlefield podcast.
"One of the key changes that will be taking place for Irish is a balancing pass to the intercepting capabilities of Irish’s APS-36 Shootdown Sentinel (Sentinel)..
Going forward, the Sentinel will now have a 5-second window from its first intercept to take down any additional projectiles it detects, such as Frag Grenades and Anti-Infantry Rockets from Specialists and Vehicles.
Once this initial intercept time has elapsed, the Sentinel will enter into a recharging state and will no longer be able to intercept any further projectiles for 7.5 seconds before being able to intercept projectiles once again."

Instead of simply the M5 and TG-84 launcher passes through the APS of Irish an ultra simple adjustment which takes 2min. No it must be reinvented once again the wheel on a basis what makes the game worse, the Explo spam is already insane.
And how can it be that you can throw HE-grenades still 80m far?
