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...

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.

The mine meta just kinda invalidates your point. Mines exist on only Engineer yet it's still a problem. And so no matter if C4 would be given to Support it wouldn't really change much. People will always pick what they find fun. In my case I'm now forced to play Recon because they are the only class with C4.

Support has always been able to resupply themselves with infinite C4 similar to what they could do in both BF3, BF4, Battlefield 2042, and probably lots of other Battlefield games. Not to mention, in Battlefield 6, C4 will get put on a cool down and will slowly get resupplied anyway, which is the only reason I can still bear to play Recon.
But you are right that Support shouldn't be able to heal and resupply, and that's what began this spiral of issues with the classes being all swapped around. Making Support both heal and give ammo has resulted in a lot of disruption between the classes.

No it just reinforces the point that quantity matters. Yes only engineers have it, but when you can just place 3 of them every time you spawn and they persist, then that becomes a problem. If a single class can make a difference, then adding it to another class has an even bigger impact.

This is a good thing. It means you need to make choices about which class you play.

Just because it has been done before, doesn't mean that it's a good thing.
