It feels like hitting a tank with a rubber bullet, it does so little and it's more of an inconvience than a threat . Like the only weapon I can even consider decent in terms of being a good anti-vehicle weapon is the Javelin and even that has it's meh moments.
CM edit: removed odd link.
The only issue I have is M5 is now reduced to Crawford and Boris, who basically bring zero to the fight in regards to their specialist ability. So to choose them, you are already neutered compared to the other Specialist. Lis, another Engineer, is equally neutered because right off the bat, she can't use any of their classes' shoulder-fired gadgets. The Engineer class as a whole is broken.
That is probably why anti-tank weapons feel so bad, because before anyone could use an M5.
They have no clue how to balance a game if you haven't noticed. All the data is right there, but they literally ignore it and only do what streamers or content creators complain about (just go to Social Media and look at who they reply to).
@UP_HawxxeyeI see no reason to take M5 over Liz atm. You just punish yourself when you pick the M5, a launcher you often cant find any ammo for + Crawford or Boris.
Damage and reload speeds feel ok.
The problem for me is the limited ammo. We haven't seen rocket ammo restricted like this in a long time.
BFV had ammo stations.
BF1 had regenerating ammo(?)
BF4 let you carry 7(?) rockets AND we had bonus damage modifiers.
It's pretty demoralizing to come across a tank and know that even if you play it perfectly the tank will win in a solo encounter. The tanker can just sit there and eat the rockets as they browse Reddit.
It's even more demoralizing to land a few hits, see the tank retreat and heal and know that you are effectively done with your role/playstyle/class until you respawn. I think it's this last point that make Boris/Crawford so unappealing to play - the time spent fulfilling your class role is too short. And that bit of time you are doing the class role is often unsatisfying.
