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.

@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.

@theBus2142 The bolte needs to be louder that’s all. It’s to quiet and sneaks up out of nowhere

I just ask that it not be nerfed further until I get it to T1. Thank you.

@IKilledOO7 The only thing they needed to do to the Bolte was make it not speed at 100 mph lol. Slow that thing down about 50% and that would take care of it. The only vehicle that should be able to speed is the Jeep..

Nerfing the Bolte draws less complaints then if they nerfed the Nightbird which badly needs a nerf.

Depending on the map, I have learned to use landmines. Get the driver of the bolte to follow you and drop landmines. The nerfing to me is getting ridiculous....

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

BF3 and 4 was more balanced, with APC's like the Bradly
