Bring back C4 to Support
I've been playing Support ever since BF3 and I've always ran C4 with the resupply box. This is the first Battlefield where I was forced to switch to Recon with an LMG in order to get C4. Not only doe...

It's not just about strength. It's also about fun. Playing vehicles in Battlefield 4 was really hard. There were so many ways to lock-on to vehicles or to destroy them that it simply felt overwhelming at times, even if you knew what you were doing.
ghostflux I would really say that's true. BF4 probably had the most dominant helicopters in the franchise, and I don't remember tanks being underpowered either.
That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying they are weak. I'm saying that it's simply not fun to constantly hear beeping because there's a dozen of different sources trying to get a lock-on on your vehicle.
ghostflux But what does the lock-on have to do with C4? Only having C4 on Recon won't magically take away lock-ons from Engineers. If you mean the lock-ons paired with a bigger threat from C4, then sure, but then again it worked fine in previous Battlefields.
It's not about lock-ons in particular, it's just the sheer amount of different things you need to keep in mind. If you're flying, you get constantly locked-on, but if you're in a ground vehicle you get critically damaged from people suicide rushing C4s onto your tank, throwing them off buildings or just parachuting in on top of your tank.
It's like how there's this mine meta right now and the streets are full of dozens of mines at each intersection. Yes, you can shoot them, but there are just way too many and it isn't fun. I'd much rather have people make the conscious decision about which class they should play to deal with a certain situation.
If support can heal, resupply and destroy vehicles just turns them into a super soldier where they can do everything. It leads to the spam of C4 and it makes all other classes less relevant.
