really frustrating to play against vehicles
like every game DICE releases vehicles are beyond overtuned. i have literally seen one nightbird clear out an entire objective ( the D1 flag on Orbital) in one or two straves even inside that garage....

Here's a sneak peak on upcoming changes:
Vehicle Balancing
- The LCAA Hovercraft will be re-equipped with lighter armor, lowering its health, and we're tuning down some of its weaponry
- The MD540 Nightbird will have similar tuning done on it's weaponry too We're keeping a close eye on early balance for future changes
@EA_Blueberry how did this not get flaked before in testing? i mean it did not even take players 2h to figure out how broken these vehicles were....

Players will simply find creative ways to use gadgets and vehicles in our games. The team will be committed to balance changes and we're here to listen to the feedback from the community. I'm not involved in any testing aspect but I know that even from my experience in the industry you can still see significant changes from testing and live environments. Test is still a sample size and nothing compared to the player population when it goes live. I mean, who would have thought people would jump out of airplanes, fire off a rocket, and successfully land back in them?- @EA_Blueberry i think you are missing the point... certain elements in the game make it impossible to determine if vehicles do actually overperform for the player atm ( lack of scoreboard) so other then that pilot killing me over and over and over ( which creates a really bad gameplayloop for the recieving player especially if the vehicle in question kills in less then 3 frames on average on top of the rockets causing insane movement slowdown to the poitn where you are glued to the floor).
no one is aksing for a perfectly balanced game, but at the moment the vehicles, especially Hovercraft, Nightbird and the Bolt are just way out of proportion....
and i get it it takes time to finetune and the game has just launched but why not go and use your new "vaulting-system" on one of these overachievers to elieviate some frustration for all sides. if vehicles overachieve everyone will use the gadgets to the point where neither vehicles nor infantry are really having fun anymore... (exeption beign the over achievers in either catergory) - @EA_Blueberry "who would have thought people would jump out of airplanes, fire off a rocket, and successfully land back in them?"
That's been happening since BF3 and it still happens. Entering a vehicle that is not within 10 meters of the ground should not be a thing.
