Vehicle Weapon/gadget options

Hopefully I'm not totally losing it here, but does anyone else notice that you go in and setup your Driver/Gunner/Pod/etc weapon/gadget choices and then when you get into someone's tank, it has different stuff than what you want?

  • Pretty sure that's working as intended.

    Configuration of vehicles is set at spawn based on the driver's selections.

    Consider that some of the secondary gunner options require different modeling of the vehicle.  It'd be odd to see those gunner modules poof into and out of existence each time a new crew member enters.

    Good point and not saying it's wrong. Fair enough it's someone else's vehicle, BUT..IIRC that's not how it worked in other titles. didn't you use to get what you wanted in your seat? Or am I mistaken there? I haven't installed any older version to test this theory YET 🙂

  • I don't believe past BF games had customization options for the gunner seats.

    Maybe BF3/BF4 allowed the gunner to select an optics setup, but there weren't any gun options to choose from.

    BF3 did have the CTIV seat and its existence was determined by the driver, I think.

    You know, now that you mention it, I seem to recall that you didn't get certain turrets/pods until you leveled. The commanders seat maybe...that's it, I'm going to have to install the older titles!
