Remove self repairing vehicles

Yeah, this needs to be removed or at least modified.  What I see happen is that somebody bails out of a vehicle because it is on fire, but then the enemy doesn't finish it off.  The vehicle self heals on its own with nobody inside it, then sits there with full health for the enemy to take.  It shouldn't heal with nobody inside it.

@Contact-w8-outIf they remove this, then they must bring back classes because that removal was far more damaging to game play. Tanks die in seconds because every sister and their brother is carrying an RPG.

I guess I haven't been around long enough to see the grace period expire, because I have watched them steadily heal for more a minute or so.  In fact I used this once - I got out of a burning Bolte, waited behind some cover, then jumped back in it at full health about 1 minute later.  I felt like I was exploting to be honest.  It's complete BS.

Actually agree with this in return for buffing the vehicles to make them viable.

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

@UP_Hawxxeye I wonder if this is because you died.  I didn't, and the vehicle healed itself despite nobody being inside it.  It should have burned up and exploded if nobody came to repair it.  That's just my opinion anyway.

In previous versions aircraft had to fly back to the team base repair rather than just leave the combat zone for a short time. Their fire power and abundance remove the ability to attack or defend as infantry. If the vehicles can self repair the engineer tool is redundant.

@Contact-w8-out except before BF1/5 with the exception of the PC only Refractor titles (BF1942-BF2142) vehicles self repaired. The older more popular system was brought back in direct resposne to community complaints about tanks having to sit on the edge of the map and snipe instead of PTFOing like they did before BF1. Personally I think going back to the older system was better for overall gameplay.

And let's be honest, engineers didn't repair more in BF1/5, tankers just hit "X" inside the vehicle to self repair without an engineer.

Just remove the auto-healing on land vehicles only. Heli's and jets are already squishy as is and can't survive much (unless they do the orbit chopper thing ugh)

This will make the repair tool much more important as the self-healing ability isn't that strong imo

I thought tanks had an optional mod a user could select, repair or shielding or something  else I forget. At B least there was in BF 4 right?  

I think it makes sense that a tank has limited self repair as an optional mod  as long as it’s balanced with the mechanic. That way it’s up to the user as to which features/benefits the tank has. If a tank can have all the features without having to make a choice of one over the other, then I think we loose out in terms of game play.

again, perhaps it’s a choice server/portal admins could make. 

im none the wiser as to how 2042 balances in that regard.
