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, armored vehicles, helicopters and planes. congratulations, I applaud this great mind.
@UP_LordPlumberhow many rockets will destroy vehicles should be reorganized. engineer class should be able to destroy a tank with 3 rocket shells. even anti air vehicles are not easily destroyed by 3 rockets, now they should be with 2 hits..
That's just... factually incorrect.
Armored vehicles (good ones anyway) don't stop moving unless it's a well-used MAV, and even then...
The way you used Falck was faulty pre-patch and is even more ineffective now. You can play your way; this does not mean the way you play(ed) is useful.
Like I said, you used to be able to join in the rocket spam, but that was it. An effective medic is one that's not dead. You shouldn't be charging in like that anyway; it's basically a free extra ticket for the other team.
Unless the downed player is impatient to respawn (for whatever reason; there are good ones), the downed-to-death clock is 30 seconds. Frankly, you'll get far more mileage out of waiting for the armour to move on or be distracted by another target than you will out of shooting the thing - that just tells the very-dangerous-vehicle-that-just-killed-your-guy that there are other squishy things nearby needing squishing.
Falck is by no means unnecessary. The nerf to Falck comes from the fact that her passive perk - the ability to revive to 100% - is now shared by two others. The syrette pistol is useful - it allows Falck to carry ammo, smoke or a claymore instead of a medpack - but in a firefight so many players are running around unpredictably that shooting them with the bloody thing can be a nightmare.
I've logged more than 1k hours into this game and have been playing since BF2. While I think this person is missing the point of classes (and needs to play other specialists), the end product we now have is the equivalent of a gaming Frankenstein. Change is only good if it makes things better. The way classes were implemented here, it just doesn't feel better. The map is better. The balance changes are better. But the specialists conflict with having classes at all. So to say it feels forced and uncomfortable (at a minimum) right now is more than fair. Some of the specialist fit into buckets of 3, others don't make any sense. After trying the sum of all of the parts, I really think they should've just re-balanced and focused more on adding truly new guns and items that were a good fit to the existing game. Personally, I would've preferred some improvements to the Tier 1 system, especially for vault guns and gadgets over the class changes at this point. For many of us, getting Tier 1's is why we keep playing. I'm not against classes, I just think it's too little, too late, since it would've required bigger changes to properly implement.
AP under barrel nades + C5 on most classes makes for a pretty serious anti-armor threat.
Heck if I had to choose between AP underbarrel + C5 or just M5 rockets I'd take the former every time.

@murdocklawlessYeah right, 3 hit a tank with 64 players. Sound balanced.
Even BF4 tanks needed 4-5 rockets, not counting APS
I'm 99% sure BF4 tanks had weak spots. From behind it was ~50% damage with the RPG. With squad perks BF4 also let infantry carry 7+ rockets.
Solo'ing tanks in BF4 was far easier using rockets than BF2042.
@NazT55 wrote:@murdocklawlessBF veterans will disagree with you and think classes are the best thing since sliced bread. Supposedly the classes are to bring teamwork to 2042 and you are to rely on your teammate to take out that vehicle now.
Not all us BF vets will disagree. I didn't mind the core tenet which made 2042 different and now, because people just couldn't handle the versatility and true sense of "play it as YOU want", it's been wrecked. I can't say I like this update at all so far. To be honest, at least for me personally, the only redeeming thing about it was that they finally included my M39 but even that's somewhat wrecked as the recoil is terrible by comparison to the others in the class.
yep rely on the squeaker with no cares about it because he didn't buy the game and has no concept of responsibility. great multiplayer gaming choice, let get all these people in a map and let them wonder about unable to communicate to each other but put a big symbol on the screen for where to meet up batman style. I'm an oldskool player and i thought we were more or less asking for a more define specialists and gadgets abilities since some it didn't make any sense and were lacking lots of gadgets.
