Why not just get rid of the Bolte instead of nerfing it twice per week?

You've already massively reduced the accuracy and damage of the 30mm cannon, and now you've reduced the number of shots to overheat the barrel. Just get rid of it already.

@IKilledOO7Ya it’s really nerfed to the point of no return yet you get one shot from across the map and your done. Can’t take any objective as a sidearm can take you out. It’s ridiculous.
Put it back they way it was, no one shot driver kills and make it a one shot M5 recoilless to take it out.

It's a tracked transport. It was never intended for sustained offenses. Prepatch, I literally annihilated, not just held off but annihilated ~3 squads coming over a sand dune from well outside the reasonable range of retaliation. It was like a singleplayer moment or something out of a movie. You actually need to concentrate on taking people out now which is a good thing. It's still a very capable vehicle given its speed and tracks and it has a great damage profile vs other vehicle weapons as well.

@rainkloud The game goes mostly by a objective getting captured by a large group, sometimes mid game I’ll see a squad come in but for the most part very few players will stay and defend it. That for me is where the Bolte comes into play. Rush over and retake it and if nmy is still in the area they should need a M5 as currently all is needed is one shot. Sometimes you can keep it moving but most are too small.
With a one shot M5 nerf and protection for the driver would make it worth while and still easy to take out. I can hardly find any one that will gunner now and I don’t blame them.

I think the bolte is in a right place atm. Its not too overpowered but its still very usefull.
Its no longer and sit and barrage area kinda thing but its a fast attack vehicle (even though its technically a transport)

  It was a fun novelty when it first came out and the initial nerfs were pretty much justified. Now however, it is becoming really annoying as a roadkilling machine.
  I do think it needs to be a tad more susceptible to small arms fire.

    @Trokey66 While you are at it make the tank that way as well! /sarcasm
    Bolte already that way and basically worthless other than something to ride and die in.
    Just remove from the game in its current state.

@k1u73 Just to confirm are you claiming that the Bolte dies in one shot to the m5 RR?

  @rainkloud Not at all. I am suggesting to make it that way!
  Currently one can kill the driver with one shot from any weapon. Snipers from across the map!
  Take that away and add M5 kill shot. That way if they are going to defend then bring something that will do it!

    @k1u73 But, that's why its rather fast... Its not supposed to be a thing which you just park across the map and shoot... its supposed to be a fast attack vehicle.
    
    The only think that can stand still and take a few hits should be a tank
