Vehicle fest - Please stop this

@techb00merJets and air in general wouldn’t be a problem if the AA Tank would survive 3-5 C5 drones.

When my friends where still playing this game we operated a wildcat where the spotter was the reapair guy and the third seat had 60mm flak unlocked.

Air got completely destroyed since the 60mm flak deals damage anyway if it explodes near the vehicle or deals devestating damage if you land a direct hit, if I recall correctly it onehit kills Jets and severe damages them if it explodes near the jet.

That + the dual 30mm gun completely wrecks any Airvehicle.

But like I said before… not possible currently to operate successfully since it’s mostly #1 target next to the MAV vehicle by C5 drone idiots.

A couple of infantry-only maps would provide some relief.

For me its the Air vehicles and lack of balance that ruins the game,
cant drive anywhere for AGM or fly anywhere for the nightbird minigun (dont do jets)

player base are so low on PS5 now its the same "try hard" pilots every night nukeing the map.
few rounds of this and the server slowly dies with more bots

played this game every day seens launch but guit a week ago, just not fun anymore constanly running stinger or trying to outgun a nightbird in the air and when you shoot one down
all it takes is 1-2min and guess whos back in action..

Found myselv trying TDM lastnight for like 5 rounds, that quickly got old with no scoreboard

You're quite right, and I totally agree! 

1v1, nothing beats air superiority. If its you in a wildcat vs a jet with an AGM, you will never come out alive. If you have a decent team/squad, its easy enough to take out other vehicles/helis/jets etc, but you have to work as a team/squad.

A few nights ago two jets were destroying us and a guy popped into a kitted out wildcat, asked people to work with him and we did, destroyed them both within minutes. It can be done, but the tools to do it at the moment are not there (voip, changing squads etc) The problem at the moment is that if you're not in a squad with friends, you have to type to communicate with randoms, which isn't the easiest thing to do in the middle of battle.

Perhaps when VOIP comes in it will be easier to organise amongst a random squad? Then you can get a good bunch of people together to deal with opponents in vehicles.

Vehicle fest would not be a long-term problem if most vehicles behaved as a transport, or become balanced. 

Jeep, hovercraft, some mini-armored tank plow through the crowds at 200km/h, and possess miniguns at the top. The game feels as much as Carmageddon at this point. If only transport vehicles were 10% slower at top speed with .50 cal, then the game would feel more balanced. No quads, motorbikes, simple transport in BF2042 whatsoever, which is disappointing.

There are no vehicles deployable for a specific theatre of war. I have no idea if little bird is a future with hovercraft on every map. Littbelird has main cannon, ground-to-ground rockets, and anti-air rockets at the same time. The physics of the vehicles seems very basic and requires almost no skill to fly or drive them.

Jets plow through crowds instead of exploding on first ground contact at subsonic speeds, there are no airstrips anyways. C5 drones ruin the same game balance and reception also.

The main reasons are above, that`s why I gave up on playing BF2042.

Not as bad on 64 player but the AGM spam can get really annoying at times.

Back in the day I just simply stopped playing conquest in BF3 when you had jets and virtually invincible choppers blowing you up in your tank non stop.

Hopefully they will fix the AGM spam in 2042 before it ruins the ground vehicle game. 

@techb00merThe only counter to agm missiles is the thermal smoke or repair tool.

If a jet is fixated on you you have to drive back and wait till he gets bored or destroyed.
The repairtool outheals the jet agm missiles.

But what currently annoys me the most is if you pop thermal smoke your vehicle suddenly gets immune to repairing, the repairtool box where it shows how much you repaired begins to flicker red and green.

as if it’s currently not hard enough to successfully stay alive in Tank vehicles you have to drive away from your own smoke in order to repair your vehicle.

Metro and Lockdown has ruined the BF community.  If you want just infantry go play TDM or make an infantry-only game in Portal.

Hi, thanks for your reply.  I get your point, however.  Have you ever seen people moving to another flag?  I have not.  Very few squads even play anymore.  The maps are too big and people just decide to camp in one flag.  Why would you risk moving to another flag if you are going to get destroyed by 5 vehicles immediately after you leave the one you have?  This is another reason why the came is so campy.
