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...

@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)
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.Its super easy to tank kill with Drone + C5.
You don't even need to trigger the C5, a tank is slow and especially in a game mode like Breakthrough (it DOES NOT have enough playable area like Conquest) , there is only a certain distance your tank can safely play the objective.
All you need to do is hover your drone above a tank, as he is taking out other tanks, crash on to him and the c5 will auto explode.
Hover your drone out of map , reset the timer (exploit that I have been talking about all these while and asking for a fix) , come back in from behind the tank, and just crash land it.
Missed your shot? No problem, cause all you need to do is re-supply and do it again. Hit now? Great, get rewarded with XP, multi-kills and vehicle destroyed stats. Its totally risk-free.
Even a level 1 player would be able to do that.
And who am I calling a casual? Players that enjoy getting these type of cheap kills and the ones defending it to stay... like you. A typical basic level casual.

I am defending fun and creativity.
If it is about XP gain, the Balls are a lot more efficient and easy.
If people want enemies with only one track of mind, they can go kill bots instead of players.Your attempt to throw in an ad hominem was also noted
So, exploit has became fun and creativity? Great.

Yes, you better believe that they can be fun
I draw the line based on if the scale of such a practice is big enough to really become a dominant way of playing. So far DICE had not even found it statistically significant enough to make a comment about it, unlike the SOFLAM M5 ignoring the flares issue.
I am optimistic that the next patch will make it a lot harder for anyone to c5 a tank with a drone.
If not, it will get the BF3 MAV treatment.
