Tanks are too Weak
Please note the tank armor in Battlefield 2042 is too weak, the tank turret moves too slowly after being damaged and the tow missile is a joke. I've been playing Battlefield since 1942 and the tank ...

They ruined the tanks, starting with bfv. Rumor is that one of the designers had a rager for WoT and decided to try for more realistic tank physics. Sounded cood on paper. But, the rest of the game has much more arcade style movement. Look at soldiers, air, transport vehicles, gadgets, etc. They slowed the tanks down for "realism" but left all of its opposition in arcade mode.
- @DigitalHype As someone that's been a tank enthusiast since Bad Company 2, I like the change and like that there's weight to tanks. They should be slow, but strong to an extent. It also works in favor for game balance and immersion. Tanks that can reach full speed immediately and look anywhere instantly with the turret is not good for game balance.
I think the air vehicles need the same treatment though. Condors look pretty silly a lot of times, flying upside down, hovering when it's probably the heaviest vehicle in the game. Heli's are able to do some pretty crazy maneuvers, I understand that they probably can do a lot of that in real life too, but they wouldn't be effective in combat flying like that. Plus, if we're talking about realism, one rocket would definitely take a Heli down of any size I'd imagine. - @DigitalHype I trained on a MBT in the late 80th and the BF2042 tanks feel like a tin box with loose screws in it compared to the real deal.
I can live with the decision that gunner and driver are the same in an arcade shooter.
But the turret turn speed is too slow.
The movement speed forward and backward should be the same, and also faster.
On the wildcat the dual 30mm anti-air gun should have a 180° dome, and a much faster turret turn speed. Maybe they should max turret turn speed link with movement speed.Lis has changed the land vehicle game. They no longer roam with impunity. Now, you have to be a good pilot. You cannot sit in one spot, hit your radar and epeen your never ending ammo and kills. You have to learn to position. You just cant sit in spawn and unload. EZmode is gone for land vehicles.
Air is king. Air will always be king. That being said, the Lis bug isnt helping. I cannot tell you how many missiles has gone through my target without detonating.Personally, I think removing Borg Regen from all vehicles will create a lot of balance. It will magnify the need to use the R2D2 repair tool, to equip the auto repair bot.
Also the player regen. Make Falck valuable and the gadget heal pen useful again.
Tank are not too weak.
It just no one use Repair Kit and teamwork in 2042…
