Another problem with support ammo crate.
Why does it take so long to refill on grenade and ammo from support ammo crate. It's a grenade and ammo. It is already constructed, I'm not buying an IKEA grenade and ammo where I have to construct t...

I know. I was really good at getting close to vehicles in Bf3,4,2. I would even trap vehicles in 1942. Was fun baiting players.
I think recon is good with the C4 I can see some really bad things again if support has it. Yes would be ideal but would really unbalance them.
Then again I do some mess up suff the c4 and claymore together.
16d93b9d7e4c3f1b I understand your concern about potential balance issues, and honestly it’s a fair point.
That being said, Support and Recon both had access to C4 in previous Battlefield titles like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. Even in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, C4 was available to Assault, which also provided ammo at the time. So this isn’t really a new or untested idea — it already proved to work.
Back then, it was never really considered unbalanced. In fact, it added a lot to the gameplay. C4 being more accessible created more opportunities for destruction, more tactical plays, and a better balance between infantry and vehicles.
Vehicles had to be more cautious because there was always a risk in close-range engagements. If someone was rushing toward you, you never knew if they had C4 or not.
Right now, vehicles don’t really have that same level of fear. The only real close-range threat is Recon, and even then, only a fraction of Recon players actually use C4 — and most of them tend to stay further away from the action anyway. So unless there are a lot of Engineers on the enemy team, vehicles can often just push aggressively without much risk.
If we’re being honest, how often do we actually see vehicles being destroyed with C4 in BF6? It’s pretty rare compared to older Battlefield games. And on top of that, we’re seeing far fewer of those classic “only in Battlefield” or funny C4 moments that used to define the franchise.
You are right not many recon players go after tanks. I understand what you are talking about there are alot of times I play support and can easily blowup a tank but am useless.
Everyone likes to play engineer for the SMG buff to run and gun but won't shoot a tank. So I play recon and hunt the vehicles.
Maybe they need a weapon for support like a track buster to immobilize the tank to stop and find repairs. Just immobilize it until it's fixed. Just guessing here.
Don't really matter most games because the tank can sit in spawn and kill.
16d93b9d7e4c3f1b Exactly, and I agree with you. With upcoming seasons and larger maps that will likely include even more vehicles, this could become a bigger issue over time.
Right now, only two classes really have the tools to deal with vehicles effectively, which can limit team flexibility. That’s why I think bringing C4 back to the Support class would make a lot of sense. It would give more players a way to contribute against vehicles without relying only on Engineers.
I also like your idea of adding new gadgets. Something like a “track buster” or a mobility-disabling tool could be a great addition, as long as it doesn’t become too strong and take away from the Engineer’s main role.
If it were up to me, I’d bring C4 back to Support and add a gadget similar to what you mentioned to the Assault class. That way, every class would have some way to defend themselves against vehicles — in different and balanced ways — without making it too easy or removing the importance of the Engineer.
