Summarize your bug Friendly fire with C5. With other words on breakthrough mod (could be on conquest too, I haven't checked myself) you can place C5 on friendly vehicle and kill it or in case of tanks for example make them commit suicide while shooting, or let them be destroyed by a single recoilless m5 enemy rocket.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Scenario 1: Step 1: Get a teammate in a tank. Step2: Get another teammate to place c5 on the tank. Step3: The tank driver must shoot close to the tank and that's the moment it commits suicide. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scenario 2: Place C5 on friendly tank, let enemy shoot 1 single M5 at it and the tank (100% HP) dies instantly.
What happens when the bug occurs? Instant death.
What should be happening instead? Nothing.

Team mates in vehicles shouldn't be able to commit suicide from other team mate's C5s or be destroyed by single M5s due to the "friendly C5s" conveniently placed on them. This shouldn't be a thing at all, placing c5 on friendlies is the perfect grieffing scenario in the game at the moment..

    The issue here isn't really a bug, it's just trolls being trolls.  Being able to stick friendly vehicles with C5/C4/dynamite (Jeep Stuff) has been a staple of the Battlefield community, and it has always been a double-edged sword.  Some players will plaster the front of a vehicle in Jeep Stuff to ram enemy tanks and blow them up instantly, so there needs to be a way to counter that effectively.  There's also players that use Jeep Stuff to launch vehicles across the map or into impossible locations, which is all in good fun.  However there has also always been players that would covertly plaster their teammate's vehicle in explosives just to grief the driver.

    I've had this done to myself a few times, and there is nothing more annoying than being on a roll in heavy armor, keeping enemy vehicles shut out and fending off their AT attempts with hardly a scratch, only to die in one hit when you shoot down a Lis rocket just a little bit too close.  10 points for a rocket destroy, but 4+ dead teammates, all because some chump didn't like that the TOR wasn't right up on the objective with no cover and surrounded by AT.
