Remove the drone like you did with the shield
Just remove the from the game like you did the shield until you fix the ability to put C5 on it. It's not a "fun battlefield mechanic" it's an exploit and a bug and will only get worse as it gets m...

In its current state, this OP-V-C5 issue is a massively and gamebreaking EXPLOIT as described already. And it does not even happen on a hardcore server.
Just putting the word exploit in all caps doesn’t mean anything, you know. A video game exploit is defined as the use of bugs, glitches, or systems to gain an unfair advantage in a manner not intended by the development team.
I, alongside many others I’m sure, have never once had an issue taking out a drone. Furthermore now that the latest update has increased their visibility and hitbox size you should be having even less trouble. So there goes the ‘unfair’ part of the argument.
Furthermore did you ever play battlefield 4 and get mauled by a SUAV? Or blown up by a C4 jeep? Or a MAV targeting some C4 that a friendly had placed in on your vehicle because they were pally with someone on the enemy team? All of these things are not intended use but they all happened and they were all mainstays for better or worse. Most of them were even arguably harder to deal with than Casper’s drone. To state that, after all the shenanigans that used to occur in previous titles, using a recon drone to ferry C4 was ‘unintended by the developers’ is insane.
Battlefield lives and dies on its playerbase’s out-of-the-box thinking, if people didn’t experiment with the sandbox we wouldn’t have C4 launches or rende-zooks. If you want to play a Battlefield where player expression is considered exploitative and should be reigned-in, then you do you, but that is never what Battlefield has been about, it has always been about creativity.
It’s what makes the game so great.

It is not funny anymore, how you guys defend this OP-V-C5 gamebreaking issue. And as mentioned already:
"Earlier this day on Manifest, there were about 8 OP-V's spotted at one location, waiting to insta-kill Tanks. And they did. Tanks were spawned just being killed a few seconds later, just to wait 2 more minutes to spawn a next vehicle/tank...
Please don't tell me, this isn't gamebreaking but a "feature"... ridiculous."And besides that, we talk about (a unfinished) BF2042 with current "gamebreaking" issues and not about any BF predecessors. And especially not BF4.

Learn to adapt the situation
if they kill your tank again and again go and hunt them down
Watch for spot like bushes or in buildings close to the vehicle spawn....
Use the prox nade or the ability from Ji-Soo Paik
Rinse and Repeat
If you killed them many times, they will stop it….@CountSero
Nah, really.. I dont run BF2042 to hunt exploiters. Why should I "adapt" to these and their gamebreaking rules?!
Simply remove the exploit/ability to plant C5 on these "invisible" OP-V [...]
@WrongJeremy
I might understand the use of a single gamebreaking OP-V-C5 in-game, but not 8 and more at once. It is absolutely gamebreaking, an exploit.Even killing a Tank by a single hit, on normal server - not hardcore...
You are one of these exploiters, right? That is why you defend this easy kill, easy XP and gamebreaking issue to the cost of others.
You keep using the words ‘game breaking’ and ‘exploit’ but I don’t think you know what they mean.
I empathise with your point of view, I do. I know it seems like I don’t, but I do. Dying a lot is frustrating in any game, no less one where death might mean you have to trek across a desert for 5 minutes before seeing another enemy.
The issue is you’re playing a dangerous game by constantly calling what is ultimately player expression an exploit. It plainly isn’t, it doesn’t break the game, it might make it tough, but it’s playable by definition alone, and I’ve already gone over why it’s not an exploit.
We can’t fall into this trap where every little bit of creativity is sucked out of a game because the player base just wants a normal, point-and-shoot experience, where exploration of the tools at hand is actively punished. And I’m not saying that’s what’s definitely going to happen here, but surely you can see you’re starting down that road, and surely you don’t want that?
@WrongJeremy
At first: BF2042 has already enough "variety"... except maps and gamemodes. But those will be added later, I guess, and hopefully without "paid DLCs" or we gonna see a next crappy BF4..
Second: I exactly know what gamebreaking and exploit mean.
3rd: I don't care if I die in BF, but due to cheater and exploiter!! They are both the same "pest".. just like in any other games!!And at last but not least:
I play BF since its early beginning with BF1942 almost 2 decades ago, I own every BF game. I have disliked your beloved BF4 and later BF1. So I have truly sticked to BFBC2 - hardcore only, the best part and past of all. BF3 was okay, even as a Closed Alpha tester.
In BF3 Closed Alpha, Closed Beta and even in Open Beta, we had really amazing OP weapons which had become nerfed later. These were better and way more precisely than the just-fixed PP-29. And I hope to see this OP-V-C5 nerf coming for BF2042 as well... for good.
