It does seem that way - I struggled initially with the high number of vehicles too - but there are ways to address this by changing a few player behaviours.
First of all, the game practically throws vehicles at you. A couple of kills will let you call in a light vehicle. This is the easiest way to move between flags - it's a lot harder for a tank or infantry to kill you when you're travelling at 80km/h. Don't walk between flags. You'll usually die.
All maps have flags that are inaccessible to vehicles or downright dangerous for them to approach - Hourglass has A2 and A3, for instance. Orbital has D1/D2, where tanks and Wildcats go to die. Manifest has C1 and D1. These flags are spaces for infantry only/vehicle-light gameplay and can be a lot of fun. As I said, every map has these flags.
Finally, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em: The M5C Bolte is a thing of beauty.
Vehicle and Helicopters kills the game for me

You should probably play another game or get better at coping with vehicles. Battlefield has always featured vehicles that can kill infantry.

I get you bro. I've been playing BF for a while. However, this is not how vehicles and maps worked in previous BF titles. In previous titles of the franchise, infantry was able to move and defend against vehicles. Yes, you would get killed but not constantly, by the same dude, in the same helicopter/tank that you just destroyed 30 seconds ago.

@EchoBeachBattlefield is a combine arms game not an Arena shooter
- ATFGunr4 years agoLegend@Stew360 To be fair though, 2042 seems to be an arena shooter with vehicles…. 🤣

We have 128 players and at least 100 are infantry. It is an infantry-based game with vehicles on top.
The vehicles are way to dominant in 2042. This is partly due to the maps being really bad (no cover) and partly because some of the vehicles are too mobile and have overpowered weapons (mostly the nightbird and the bolte).
Finally, working audio would help a lot. Too often you get killed by "silent" vehicles. If infantry could hear the vehicles they could at least try to take cover (if the map has any).
Combined warfare is special for BF, but at the moment vehicles are more or less 'random-death-generators', which kills the fun of playing infantry
