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.

@k1u73Well certainly not directly into the masses where I get obliterated in seconds, but since you obviously do this and seem somehow surprised when you die I get why you would be upset...

I just love it when they come in expecting to get easy road kills and then blow up because they drove over my AT Mines.

    @theBus2142 Mostly in opening game I make the rush cap a couple.
    When I have the option to get one I ll run to make cap where I feel it’s not contested i.e. one player defending which imo he should have to have some form of explosive to take out a small tracked tank.
    What gets me is the easy nerf one shot kill
    Like the OP just remove it and kudos on the mines that’s legit imo

    same here.  slowly working to T1 on mines, i think i'm at 185ish vehicles destroyed.   i hate vehicles and take perverse pleasure in killing them (800ish vehicles destroyed with stinger, still working on T1 with M5 recoiless)

    if i'm not running a launcher or mines i'm using a soflam

    @theBus2142 Speaking of something that needs a rework...why are the mines in this game more noticeable than any other mine in the BF franchise? They're as thick as boulders, painted yellow, and have a bright red flashing light on them.....seems counter productive to what their use is. I think I've only witnessed 2 people run over mines in this game that were placed before hand. All my mine kills literally involve me being chased by a bolte and throwing one out right before I get ran over.

    you gotta work on your placement mate.  i just wish they didn't disappear when you die.

    @Psubond When the points you want to put them on are surrounded by walls, and only a flat road around the flag, placement doesn't mean much.

    @Psubond The only explosive that should not persist after death is C5.

    Mind, that only leaves AT Mines for now but you get my point.

    @Kyosji this is all on breakthrough so it may not work on conquest: what i do is watch patterns of the drivers. many times they will just keep running the same circuit. the start of a match is also a great time to put some mines out because people often take the same (fastest) route to a flag. the little ramps on hourglass to get down to the A2 flag (on xbox one, not sure if it is same on 128 player map) work, the tunnel under the crawler on orbital or to the left or right side (more shadows on right side so that works better imo). kaleidoscope is tougher but if you put them on the roads coming out of RU spawn you can often pick off people in jeeps or bolts trying to get road kills. discarded you just have to watch patterns and place them as needed there (don't put them where helos spam rockets, they will blow them up. the main thing is watch patterns of the drivers. humans are creatures of habit, people like specific vehicles and tactics for getting kills with them so you just have to watch and take what they give you

    Back to the Bolte…

    It needs driver protection from one shot kills. And if you are nerfing the guns you need stop nerfing the speed. It has no top end and a sitting duck for air craft.

    Or just remove it…

    It definitely should not be a OSK for the driver. The first shot should break the glass, then a second shot is needed for the kill. Pistol and SMG should not be able to break the glass and AR/LMG should need several rounds to break the glass before exposing the driver. 

    On the flip side, the Bolte should be much less effective after being hit by an M5. A shot to the top should disable the gunner weapon and a shot to the body or tracks should reduce the speed until repaired. 

    There should also be a hard limit on the amount of Boltes a team can have at one time.

    @Psubond wish more players would equip SOFLAM - it helps keep vehicles/air craft under control and gives the user plenty of spotting points.

    @Lancelot_du_Lac I agree but at the same time it's a very late unlock, I only just have it, so you could be on teams that half don't even have access to it.

    @A_al_K_pacino_A problem with SOFLAM at the moment is that there is no reward if a spotted vehicle gets destroyed, just the spotting bonus.
    I have T1 the SOFLAM, but it was a slow process and other players were not taking advantage of the vehicle locks.
