@II-LAZZARUS-III am not against your suggestions, mostly because I have little experience with the Bolte and Hovercraft.
However I can assure you that the tanks are underwhelming and underperforming in the current state of the game. They are best at being bullet / rocket sponges unless you want to try and snipe, which is not PTFO and is boring.
@carsono311 Ok I see your point.
What happened to all the cool tank options from previous BF games? I would cut my finger off for thermal optics and reactive armor again. I do feel tanks are slightly underpowered in the main guns, but their speed and maneuverability feels pretty good to me. I would like some more elevation on the main cannon, too, as real tanks can go way higher. What's going to * me off is whatever the next content drop on the season pass will likely feature "NEW FEATURES" for vehicles and such, like thermal/night optics and things we had in previous games.

My main suggestions to improve tanks.
1. APS. It would alleviate some of the issues the tank faces with more threats than ever.
2. Increase splash damage on main shell. You need to run the main shell to compete with other tanks but you then have experienced infantry who mock you as they can hide behind the tiniest piece of cover safe in the knowledge that only a direct hit will stop them with minimal to no splash damage to worry them as they easily reduce your health to 25% with their 3 M5 rockets leaving your tank vulnerable to any other enemy in the vicinity.
3. Increase tanks turret elevation and turning speed to give a fighting chance against attack choppers.
To sum up, just go and copy BF4, it's not like Dice have to invent anything new!- @Tank2042Man Couldn't agree more
Huh, tank can be very strong in right hands. I see players sit in tank and just drive in the middle of enemies and die.
But if you play it correctly you can survive for 20 minutes or longer and get a lot of kills.
@BrokenCompileYes you can, but it involves a lot of camping and it's very tedious.
I survive many rounds in one tank but a lot of the time it's a boring round where you do not feel you have contributed much to the team.
If the enemy team is competent you will not achieve much success in the tank. Just 2 Sundances can decimate a tank in no time with their homing missiles.Edit: and I forget to add. Sundance can also have the M5 equipped. That's not an OP setup at all lol!!
