the new update is a complete disgrace
I spent hours on falck and now they have taken the rockets out of her hands and given them to the engineer class. Those outside the engineer group were left completely defenseless against tanks, armo...

@SteveSpeedJ Well most BF vets will then.
@NazT55 no matter what anyone says, this is a completely disappointing update for someone who has spent hours and hours on a certain character.
Just tried playing. The download took longer than I lasted playing. Hate what they did to Breakaway.
So many bigger fish to fry like a server browser / filter, fixing the atrocious TTK/ TTD, the mouse input lag, etc.
Instead they put more lipstick on the pig. Wish I could roll this one back.

The update changed nothing really - It has always been a tall order for any single specialist to take out armour on their own. Before the update, you could join in the rocket spam. Now, you have to focus on your job, which has always been defined by the primary trait of the specialist. In Falck's case, this was 75% revive, 25% heal. Now it is 50/50.
I've always found the M5 to be unreliable for killing LATV4 occupants anyway; you get much more consistency from shooting the passenger compartment with your primary.If you want to hunt armour, you now need to play with Boris, Crawford or, to a lesser extent, Lis (she is primarily anti-air).
I switched to Rao tonight because no one (literally NO ONE) on my team was using the SOFLAM or otherwise painting vehicles. Once I did, the balance of the round changed because all vehicles were vulnerable.
Branch out; if you dislike vehicles, there are much more useful specialists than Falck anyway.
@filthy_vegansI would stop playing with falck because she has turned into a completely unnecessary operator. an operator whose main purpose is to revive and heal will no longer be able to help those who are near armored vehicles asking for help. because she will most likely be mowed down by armored vehicles. before the update, she could disturb armored vehicles with rockets and make them retreat from where they were, opening a path towards those who need help, but this is no longer possible. those who are near vehicles and waiting for help should not wait any longer.
@murdocklawlessEasy solution is to run smoke if you have to heal someone next to an enemy vehicle. Personally, I wouldn't even chance healing that player if I were in that situation. But 99 percent of the people that play Falck don't even revive or heal to start with. They only pick that specialist to heal themselves.
- @murdocklawless you should of went to bf4 and bf3 like all hardcore players did
