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...

@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.

You're right.
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.
Yes, the drones have been used beyond its intended function which is to spot enemies and fire EMP at vehicles. Definitely needs to be removed.
Its also an old age problem when casuals feel sad that their fav exploits get called out cause they can't get easy XP anymore.
Can totally understand why you are feeling so defensive about removing this C5 + Drone in the game 🙂
- @GosBiker Who you calling "Casuals"? I mean..waa? brah?
Its not that easy to C5 drone a tank. You can get killed, the drone moves slow, they can shoot the drone down. Its for certain that its not an exploit. I would not believe that Dice after 3 years would not know a)its possible and b) not removing it for a reason. Ive exited my tank a few times and shot them down. They also have a c5 icon on them. Sounds more like someone else is butthurt.
