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...

@Lvl_90_MudkipYou are overeacting and you also do it too late.
Todays patch makes the drone easier to see and hit.
Here is a compilation of me dealing with 5 drones pre patch. Even pre patch, I blame the rest of the team for deciding to ignore the enemy drones unless they buzz right on their face.
If you think that tanks are not in a good place, you should be asking for buffs to the tanks (such as making them faster at accelerating and turning their turrets to better accommodate aggressive tanking) instead of using the current tanks as a reference point from which anything that is a threat to them needs to be nerfed.
I am all in for the changes that made the drones easier to stop once detected or to make the tanks faster, but removing the ability to put c5 on them just reduces the depth of the gameplay, which does against the Battlefield moment marketing of the game

And besides that, lets see how these mentioned OV-P Buffs will perform today.@N3tRunn3rbecause of the patch today, I decided to treat any previous experience with the drones as outdated until I see for myself this afternoon.
I am not sure how DICE can program a weight limit on a drone.
I am still more annoyed from having my tank blown by M5 and especially Magical anti armor grenade spam than a drone with C5 here. At least that guy commited to just one thing instead of pulling out a counter at the drop of a hat between doing other things
Just wait till we perfect the C5 Dozer shield.......
@UP_Hawxxeye It's not an overreaction, how does it make any sense that the thing I should be most worried about is a drone instead of 62 other players with R5s and other utilities to deal with a tank? Explain that to me, because the tanks as they are now are fine if used correctly
I have a TON of clips of me pushing in breakthrough just to be killed by some kid with a c5 drone and slapping it into my tank. How does that make sense?
@Lvl_90_Mudkip
No the tanks are not fine, but a lot of their problems are steming from lacking agility in their tracks and turret.
Another problem is how the vehicle spawn system works in this game: It penalizes you for losing the vehicle regardless of if it was your own fault or not and tries to let someone else get the next tank before you can. So it is understandable that one will be frustrated to lose your tanksWhen I am in a vehicle, my sources of grief are a lot more often coming from being spamed with rockets and homming grenades than drones. Sure it suuuuuucks to get that random death from above, but at least to me the frustration is focused on how hard it will be to get a new tank with those frustrating timer penalties and the fact that overal the tank slots are really few per team when considering that the map has 64 people per team.
Perhaps if I had more chances to get a tank instead of a light vehicle or nothing , I could had time to get more frustrated with drones.
Seeing how more effective and abundant the "light" vehicles are in the game right now, the first and foremost problem of the "armored" vehicles is their lower numbers and much more restricted movement.
As about the C5 drones themselves, I can agree that they could use a change to make them carry less than the number of c5 needed to oneshot a tank, so 1 or 2 instead of 3.
But I really dislike that title of this topic, disabling anything in the game should only be the result of a really desperate situation that affects everyone (like invincible soldiers, invincible bad company drone and rubberbanding) and not something that happens rarely to most people. This is why I called this an overreaction.- @UP_Hawxxeye But see that's where I disagree on. I have the T28 - M5 almost at T2. Along with I've played every battlefield ever made. I have like 18+ years of experience with this game. And I've mostly been centered around vehicles.
I've never been as frustrated as I am now with how more and more rampant the C5 drone is getting at the very least in breakthrough as that is my main game mode.
I don't mind R5 and made spam because I hardly die to it. It's easy to counter and avoid and deal with. Have a insta missle lock hut never had the lock on warning? It's a grander just full send in reverse or bail out and come back. R5s coming in? Keep moving and play aggressive but smart.
The only problem I ever had was the jets with atgms. Until I figured out trees block their lockcon line of sight. They never became a problem again.
What kills me the most at this point in the game? The C5 drone. I can avoid and adapt and overcome anything else and do every game. And if I do die to R5 or Sundance's tracking grenades that's on me and a mistake I made.
However, how can I adapt to the drone? There's only one realistic way to do that. And that's snipe with the tank. And that is so ultimately boring and useless for the team.
Now I will say it would be nice to see the track traverse speed buffed a little bit. But that's me being selfish and wanting the tank to be even more aggresive than it already is.
