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 Conquest the C5 drone is not a big thing and i know that Breakthru is another thing
(Also, we don't want to talk about the clear exploit that exist in Breakthru!!!!!)
Related to one thread here I tested it and here are my experience with it:
- hitting a target from the front don't kill it every time (it depends how the vehicle is damaged already) > so attacking from the front is waste of time 😉
- a tank is not easy to hit when it moving, also you need to hit it more from behind or top (i don't know if the also side works) > standing still and spamming shots kills you 😉
- Helicopter are nearly impossible (only when hovering on a cop I think, never tested)
-Casper needs a safe spot like a bush or building not far from the vehicle because the range is limited
Detection
- every proy nade shows the drone (not only on the mini map)
- ranger will attack a drone
- another drone can detect it
- soflam can detect it
Counter:
Learn and adapt, equip prox and hunt down casper.
Related to the changes to make the drone more visible and a bigger hit zone it will make casper totally obsolete
I play casper as a classic sniper and using the drone for the emp (which is close to useless) and spotting.
At the moment emp gives no reward and with mass proxy nade the spotting is down to 25%
So, if you don't have done the Spotting thing for 200 people in one round it is now nearly impossible to get it Conquest (maybe it is still possible in BreakThru)
And it won’t get better when the hit zone gets bigger and the drone more visible….
@CountSero Can confirm hitting from the side doesn’t work or from under the tank. As along as the target is still moving, the drone is unlikely insta-kill the target. Have also tried with flying targets as well, there is actually no collision interaction for it the drone would actually fly through the air vehicles instead, you have to manually detonate the charges to get air target with this combo
- @Mental-Driver It seems to be random.
Once I was just spotting for my team and put the c5 for a good measure.
Then suddenly my drone dies.
When I get back to the view of my soldier I see a burning attack helicopter failing from the sky and I get 2 kills.
Apparently the heli dude collided with my hovering drone from behind for an one in a million moment.
Too bad shadowplay was bugged then
