It's complete BS.

My wildcat drove over a light pole in Manifest breakthrough and got stuck on the remains of it.
After trying a lot I decided to respawn witha jeep to try to push it off the pole stump.

BFV vehicles had limited ammo,no self repair,and damaged parts that you had to repair manually in return for increased effectiveness against infantry/other vehicles mostly...
As for saying it encourages camping,isnt it the case now with c5 drones? and i always feel modern combat dumbed down vehicle gameplay with no skill lock on they need to add more skill based weapons like the JDAM/TV missiles
A quick fix i can think of is decrease thermal smoke cooldown to increase survivability a bit now that everyone can run around with stingers
