Server tickrate
It may seem strange, but why even in advancing modes by EA in 16v16 or 32v32 is the same 45Hz tick rate used (not 60 or higher)? Okay, maybe in 128 player modes this worked very badly and increased t...

They buy compute cycles. Higher tickrate = more computing = more cost. Its all part of maximizing profit for shareholders and executives.
@DigitalHype I guess its more like a limitation about what cpu types are available. The increase of team an map sizes doesn't help either.
Alone doubling the player size increased the bandwidth requirements by four.
I remember as BF4 introduced the 60Hz tick rate and for quite some time it only worked smooth on 48p servers, an then only when you avoided every map with lots of water in it, like Paracel Storm.
Maybe that is the reason, why we don't have naval vehicles in it, because the netcode can't handle that for 128 players.
