If people actually ran with a squad or a general group of people they would find turrets very easy to beat. And people crying about boris players prone next to the turret is laughable because “thats his actual job” why on earth do you think it has a green ring around the turret.
Arguments about using the turret aside, it wouldn't hurt for Dice to consider making changes to the requirement for T1. The same could be said for some of the other specialists as well I think, like Sundance.
What I find most annoying it’s that boris and Irish have abilities that can easily countered by a simple gun and once you have destroyed their abilities they then turn into a bog standard soldier! thus are by far the weakest character until their abilities have regenerated.
All other characters keep their abilities until they die! So how is boris overpowered?
The reason why sundance hasn’t been nerfed is because dice know full well the majority play as sundance so a nerf could possibly lower the player count!
I think the wingsuit pushes the realism a bit too far out of the envelope for suspending disbelief. And it ruins it a bit for me when the winged squirrel flies from a one story building several hundred meters.
that said, opening a parachute in the same scenario is also kinda rediculous. But Not as bad as the wingsuit.
Id be happy if the wingsuit had a min height requirement. I.e anything BASE jump height. Towers etc.
and opening the wingsuit any lower would cause the player to just face plant lol.
all joking aside, the wing suit is just wtf.

That would be ideal TBH. Some specialists could really benefit from that. And also make T1 is rather not tied to nerfs that much.
Nerf a bloke with a turret whilst you have a flying superman with 3 types of grenades to use lol makes sense in bizzaro world!
@emerson1975
Well than we can agree that it would be best to remove both (together with the other 8) and bring back the classes that make Battlefield Battlefield!
Well, the feedback loop for the Specialists should start any minute now I guess, so we can all tell them just that. 😉
Yep I agree but it’s not gonna happen so I can only comment on what we have now.
All they have done is made boris a complete non entity now because the sentry is all he had and it’s been nerfed into oblivion and this barely makes him better than a bog standard soldier whilst sundance is some sort of superhero.
DICE TeamHi all,
We're reviewing if the T1 requirements for Boris need adjusting. We'll continue monitoring your feedback on the changes to the SG-36 Sentry Gun that went live in Update 0.4.1.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I think most of us fully understand that T1 and such requirements are supposed to take a bit to unlock for any specialist. It can just be far more difficult with some than others, and when the only method for someone to gain mastery with a specialist is made even more complicated/slower, it can be frustrating!

The sentry has been broken from day one because for many of us, it almost always exploded immediately after placing it down. This made getting damage with it nearly impossible. After months of complaining and you guys denying that their was even a problem with the turret, you finally admitted you were looking into it exploding. But in the very same update, you nerfed the absolute hell out of it and even though it doesn't explode now, getting damage points feels once again impossible. SIXTY THOUSAND? Maybe 20,000 MAX. The tiers for the turret are by far the hardest achieve of any specialist. I've been playing since the game has been out, roughly 250 hours into the game and I don't have even 16k damage achieved. If you guys just actually played the game you're supposed to be fixing, you'd understand many of our frustrations as a community.

How about you review the PROGRESSION SYSTEM FOR AOW SOLO/CO-OP? ITS BEEN 7 MONTHS. WE CAN'T PLAY THE GAME THE WAY IT IS WITH THIS HORRIBLE CAP. GET RID OF THIS FREAKING 'TEMPORARY MEASURE' ALREADY

That is great news.
It would help a lot if the T1 requirements of other assets that are way harder to be reached than on Launch could also be reviewed.
Like for example the Bolte which has both weaker weapons and fewer chances to be available or even desirable to use over tanks now. I am sure that the statistics will show that almost nobody uses it now.

Do not worry. With S1 there will be most likely XP booster packs available and with just another 50 USD/EUR/whatever you can speed up the process and get the T1 thingy much faster.
And I bet they will even communicate the introduction of XP boosters as something GOOD and something the 'community' asked for.
@Straatford87You nerfed the turret to much. You should have just made it less lethal. Instead you made it less lethal, decreased its health, and took away it's highlighting of the enemy. All of these people are complaining that killed them to much. I'm fine with making it less lethal. I never used it for the kills, I used it as an alarm system and a way to slow down the enemy when they were attacking a point.
Reminds me of people that Cried about ap mines in battlefield v.
How can these things be overpowered when it takes YOU to actually set it off lol.
Maybe people should take a little more care and actually look at their surroundings rather than just looking as far as the end of their nose!
I stopped using Boris since the last update, only one tier to go to unlock T1 but i feel it's taking too long now. I'll revisit him if it's not too grindy to unlock the final tier for him in the future.
