Sounds to me that you're using it wrong. You're going up against multiple infantry or trying to take an objective inside of a Bolte. Boltes are not objective pushers. They're also not Tanks. This is the issue with balancing vehicles in this game and why I can see what DICE struggles. You've got an equal amount of infantry who say Boltes are OP and players who like to spawn in Boltes and think they're bad. Neither are right. Boltes right now are fine if you ask me. Look at the tags. They put these tags in the description of the vehicle exactly for people like those in this post.
Those two are the most important ones. You should be in constant motion. You should not be charging straight into an objective then switching to gunner in stationary. You are not an objective taker. The boltes main position is to go around, flank fast. Strike at infantry from their sides and back. Then use their high speeds and mobility to get out of there. You can also use this same mobility and some attachments to lay traps for other vehicles. When attacking in a bolte, the goal is to make sure infantry do not see you coming. Or anyone for that matter. In a bolt you will NOT be...
- Leading the charge against an objective
- Fighting wildcats or tanks head on
If you see a wildcat or tank gunning for you, run. Look for other vehicles or infantry to team up with.
For the infantry who say the bolte is OP
Run freaken anti vehicle. It amazes me to this day how few people run anti vehicle. Because they prefer things like armor or medpen. Lay mines. Use recoil rifle. Use EMP grenades. There's a lot of choices to counter vehicles. When I'm playing 128 and I see the same group of 30 people dying over and over again to the same vehicle...and not one of them respawns with some sort of anti vehicle; that's the issue. Now its still on part of the developers. They shouldn't have been expecting players to not take the selfish route. They always do. But if you ask me the tools to take down the bolte and the bolte's position in gameplay overall is solid. Most vehicles are in a really good place right now from their design.
