Seriously...
What the heck we need to do in order to get an official reply by the DICE staff on this subject?
Do we need to perform a Summoning Ritual? To offer a Sacrifice of Blood and Cash?
Enough pitchforks always works
But imo the whole underbarrel being basically available on almost all weapons was a mistake anyway so is the implementation of the plus system. Especially considering you can throw like 3 types of underbarrels onto your weapon which is dumb as hell, the plus system isn't very well thought out to begin with with the ammo types plus the underbarrel issue. While the SCAR has a underbarrel as default it all makes zero sense.
I never got used to using them I find it very finicky for my playstyle and often the game gets stuck in the wrong mode and I cannot fire my weapon doesn't swap properly. So yeah never touched these things myself.
Think they should simply allow just 1 singular underbarrel in the plus system at a time if they up the ammo count again.
@SVND0WNOh ye that makes sense, then they should change the UI to show that, now it sorta looks like you are carrying with you 3 launchers. But again I think that should always be your first underbarrel slot and cannot have anything else, then the extra slots in the plus menu change to ammo types just like the railgun basically, just find it weird as hell atm. If it comes at a greater cost they can also reward that with more ammo.
Minimum would be shared ammo of 3 as there is 3 different types (AT launchers also have that). Thats the closest to previous 3 of each but instead if total 9 there would be 3. But the best would be 4 or 5 as thats the value most of the previous games gave had and a good compromise imo 😉 Remember still lot less than 9 which was up until now..
Cant compare to Hand Grenades as they have double/triple the power (kill radius) of the 40mm, even Scatter grenades are more powerful. Big difference.
So yeah DICE, how about this?
-> SHARED AMMO POOL!
Examples if you equip all types:
- Previously you had 3 of each for a total of 9.
- Currently you have 1 of each for a total of 3.
- New suggestion: shared ammo pool of maximum 5 total (or at least 3 shared).
That means if you fire 3 HE, you have only 2 smokes or 2 incendiary left or vice versa.
THAT sounds like a good compromise and good balance, right? Its also similar to previous BF games ie. BC2 had 4 in ammo, BF2 (2005) had 5.
I even recall that 2042 maybe had this shared ammo at launch but that they changed it in a patch, if so very weird..
Nah I like the plus menu and it works for modern times of BF, same goes for regular weapon ammo that you have different mags of too.
However I may have thought of another possible solution for the 40mm here now -

@JWGrasliPlus system just adds to the problems 2042 has, just another thing adding to the chaos and unpredictability. Finding a stable setup especially with how accurate weapons are there is no real need imo to change often. Silencers and ammo types sure, but not everything, weirdly enough you don’t even have an animation to change stuff apart from ammo it’s just instant, that’s not good for a Battlefield game. What’s even the point of the double zoom scopes? Introduced in FPS games just before 2042 came out, 2042 implemented them and also instantly made them kinda irrelevant. Oh wait I know why added them to the game they look great in gameplay trailers, adds depth to the battle.
The strength of a well balanced Battlefield game is never being fully prepared for the situation you are faced with, but that was almost 100% undone when 2042 came out. Hence why the plus system is one of the issues.
I like the idea of the system but it needs a massive overhaul if it returns in a new title, with the focus on making it not as casual to change stuff as it is now.
