Why does Dozer not have a cooldown?
Dozer is the ONLY specialist whose specialist gadget has NO cool down? WHY? The shield kills people why is there NOT a cool down between switching guns to his shield lol This specialist is not bala...

@battlejokeDeadly shields are a meme in FPS games since CoD did it.
But honestly he is nowhere as dangerous as people make him out to be, especially when the encounter is not a duel in a narrow corridor.
I know that it can be frustrating to die due to a shield bash, but is is far from a big threat in the grand scheme of things....unless like 10 people start to make shield walls. But 10 people who are actually playing as an organized unit are a threat regardless of which specialist they pick, even 10 boris turrets next to each other could be dangerous
Agree with @UP_Hawxxeye Dozer is nowhere as dangerous as some people make him to be. He's been nerfed already, making the range of his shield shorter and it seems also the angle of protection has been reduced. Meanwhile there are several counters; incendiary grenades, shooting at his exposed feet, drop C5 and wait until he runs past it. Yet still too many people panic when they see a Dozer charging and start running, making themselves easy targets to get shot in the back.
@RanzigeRidder2
by the way, what is the effect of the concussion grenades on Dozer?
If it is the same as on the other soldiers, then that might also work.But shooting at the feet is by far the best counter. You either kill him or he has to crouch and become much slower.
- @UP_Hawxxeye As far as I know effect is the same as on other specialists.
Another countermeasure is a defib against the shield b.t.w.
I must suck with Dozer b/c I always have trouble killing someone with his shield.
@UP_HawxxeyeFor me it is the stupidity of Dozer and his shield that is the problem.
The game is full of lots of (often small) stupid things and it ends up being a giant joke.
You constantly get your 'immersion' broken by something annoying and the game is just not fun to play.@cso7777 Agreed. The whole shield of dozer thing is just pathetic.
For a start it would be heavy, and I mean really heavy, and if it can withstand C5 and a would magazine from machine guns and still be exactly the same effective wise then it's blatantly overpowered.
Then there is the speed at which people can run with its blinking mind blowingly stupid. And as for being able to kill people by hitting the other side of the wall with it, well, that just goes to show how challenged these developers are, no wonder people like using it, everything is just such an easy kill for them, and as for being able to deploy it on a zip line, well, I rest my case.
I hope the next BF Game is designed by grown-ups, not the children that clearly designed this one.
