This is Dice being absolutely clueless on vehicle combat. Next is the stealth choppers and they will become useless.
Who ever is in charge at Dice really needs moving to CoD as they have no clue how to balance the vehicles in Battlefield. The MAV is the same, just a pile of useless metal. No splash damage,,damage to infantry is well below what it should be.
I will not be buying the next BF game and will stop playing this one if Dice keep destroying the vehicle combat.
If someone from Dice is reading please put the vehicles to how they should be.
