Beta Issues [Balances]
I'll do my best to keep this as concise as possible... I logged 45 hours into the beta and ranked each weapon to level 20. This is a compilation of all of my notes, concerns, and bugs/issues that I ...

Not really understanding your remarks on the support class not being able to counter tanks.
If you want to counter vehicles, switch to the engineer.
Not every class should be a counter to everything.
That is the nice thing about BF normally that you need to play together to achieve victory.
For the Liberation Peak C point, I like that some points have a higher value compared to others. That creates strategic choak points and can help in teams just running around and capping one point after another.
Do agree with the grenades. They could use a bit more of splash damage. Same with rockets and vehicle damage.
My main issues would rather be:
- Auto spotting to be removed
- Add bullet drop back in for guns and vehicles
- Sniper glint to be removed or changed
- Bigger maps (that do not feel empty like 2042)
- Reduce gadgets that each class can carry and have them specialise even more
- Reduce number of rockets for engineer
- Reduce AA power
- Buff air vehicles
- Heli handling as in BF4
- Slow down gameplay (above would already help)
- Rework the gun bloom
- Increase recoil on controllers (I switched to controller as it was easier)
Yea, I get the class that class diversity is a good thing, I was just thinking it would make sense it the 2 front line classes could support each other a little more. I don't find myself using the deployable cover too often and I was thinking of what else I would prefer in that slot.
Liberation is my favorite map from the beta, but C isn't just a strategic choke point. It can be an impregnable fortress if a foothold is developed early enough. It gives far too much access to most of the other sites. If you know what you're doing on Lib, you can completely lock down the game.
Regarding you issues:
I like the auto spotting, but I think it needs to take longer to "spot" an enemy. Put a little more risk into it so Recon played aren't just farming assists for free.
There is a small amount of bullet drop, but I do think there could be more. Maybe well notice it more on larger maps though because most sight lines in the game are inside 200m.
Sniper glint needs to exist for balance. I don't think I would change anything about it currently.
Engineers have a good amount of rockets. In fact, if anything, I would buff rocket damage to vehicles. It's pretty easy to keep a tank alive with just a couple torches on it.
