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...

Please remove the ability to place C5 on drones. This is becoming really stupid, players are just 1 shotting tanks and vehicles.
This is not the same as placing the C4 on Quad bikes as there was equal opportunity and danger. That was fair.
But with drones, even if it gets shot down, the player using it is safe behind some container. But the chances of it getting shot down is low, people are flying it and can easily reach any vehicle.
Especially when playing breaktrhough, defending team can fly it near spawn and instantly kill any vehicle coming out. This is ridiculously one-sided and a complete advantage for the drone user who will at most only have his drone shot down. There must be equal chance, either tank dies or drone user dies (should not be able to be revived as he will be camping behind some container with team mates around)
Every tank is getting instantly killed and its a very unfair advantage for those using this exploit.
Please remove the ability to place the C5 on drones!
@GosBiker I don't agree. Its a valid and plausible attack vector. And the drone flight radius is limited. The operator cannot be that far from it, so if you see one in the air, it means the operator is blind and lying in prone waiting for you to get his dogtags.

I won't launch into my whole speech about player expression because I've already done it to death, but you're right. This can be countered, it just requires other players to think outside of the box as well.
@Trokey66 put it best earlier in the thread, players seem loath to actually switch up their playstyle to accommodate another potential danger.
@WrongJeremyThis is an age old problem in BF games.
Medic getting killed by tanks: "Nooooo tank too OP, but I want to stay medic so I will just curse the tank on chat and call for nerfs
Ground soldier getting peppered by aircraft: "Noooo flying thing too OP, But I will not use stingers, AA tanks or aircraft cause I want to keep my kit and call for nerfs."
Aircraft user who annoyed the team bellow enough to get locked on all the time: "Noooooo AA too OP, I will not adapt and maybe go down and use a tank or a soldier cause I am a full time pilot so the AA needs a nerf"*Sorry if these sounded too strawman-y but I wanted to make them funny
* Note: the AA does have an very real issue with the countermeasures right now but it will be fixed Soon (TM)

Oh I know mate, I've grown up with the franchise. I suppose to a point I should recognise that trying to argue for the sandbox isn't going to get me anywhere, but I still want to fight for it all the same.
Also yes, AA is currently having a bad time, arguably a much more important issue than this, actually.
In Conquest, yes the flight distance is limited.
But not in Breakthrough, the objectives and the attacker's spawn is really close and the drone can go deep into spawn. There is where people use the 'Out of combat area' exploit.
The EA admin made 100% effort to remove the post without notifying if any action or point has been noted. Not something surprising..
