BF6 Vehicles still need a lot of polishing

It seems like BF6 focused a bit too much on infantry and forgot that vehicles are also important to get right.

I already had my concerns with my first days of leveling the vehicles so they have all their unlocks etc, but this video mostly shares most of my concerns

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4GkiA8-97k

I will edit with more points but these are those that come to mind right away:

The Ammo attrition is obnoxious for some Vehicles, especially the IFV that would need to sit for several minutes to fully reload its ammo count.

The ammo stations are hard to locate unless you know where they are and their icons do not always show up.

The ground vehicle Boost is horrible in this game. It works like a cooldown instead of stamina bar like the afterburner is now on 2042. If you boost for even one millisecond and then stop boosting, it will go on a full cooldown

The APS gadget of the MBTs has a delay before it starts working, allowing more missiles to hit the tank.

The other armored vehicles do not have APS

The starting helicopter rockets are horrible and intuitive.

The attack helicopters handle in a very heavy manner

The manhatan map is horrible both to the helicopters that fly there and it is horrible to have to deal with helicopters in it. The bounds are too small and the timer too short. There are also invisible walls on some buildings to crash on to

The Jets handle very differently from 2042, the Yaw in particular is horrible for Rifle aim configurations.

The jets have zero unlocks atm. Allegedly because they could not get the AA missiles to work properly during the internal testing. So the Jets we have now are "early access" jets.

The aircraft resupply station is awkwardly located and can also cause crashing.

I do not share the same dislike for the airfields as the guy in the video but they might not be as protected as they should be from spawn camping.

 

I will add more points later but these are those that I can recall from the video and my thoughts

  • +1 to all of this.  The attack jet (my preferred jet) isn't really effective against armor.  It takes a ton to even disable them, much less to destroy them.

    I realize there are fixes that need to be/will be made, but just throwing my $.02 in to the mix.

  • The jets are great. My only complaint is the "guided" bombs from air air jets. I'm not sure I understand how its supposed to work. I manage to get kills with it, though. New unlocks would be interesting, but I'm okay with the way they are right now. One of the best experiences with planes in the franchise imo. They don't need to be a carbon copy of older titles. No issues destroying tanks too if you are with the air-ground jet. You have plenty of firepower against armored vehicles and its easy to destroy them.

    Also, no issues with the resupply here. I don't agree about the spawncamping. It's annoying and antifun, but still possible. I know it's possible because I did it and I have died for it.

    I agree with APS complaint. It feels like its not worthy to use it. It has the delay and doesn't last long enough to justify it alongside with the cooldown. I'm okay with the helicopters. They are heavy, but you can adapt to it. The initial missile can keep the behavior if they add a hint in the hud to aim it properly, like they did with the cannon in jets. It's hard to know where the missiles will land and you only discover after you fired some missiles. I agree with everything about Manhattan map. It needs a lot of polish to helicopters there and their weight makes everything even more difficult in that map. Very short timer when you leave combat area and sometimes one of the teams don't get helicopters.

    You should try to resupply an IFV after spending most of  its ammo. It has an ammo cap of like 200 and it gets like 10 per resupply cycle.

    According to the icon of the stealth jet bombs, they are like wire guided so I guess you need to use them like a ToW
