C4 for Support again

Question

So I've seen it mentioned in a lot of places, the general want for C4 to return to the support class. If Battlefield studios wants Support to run ammo AND health, fine I guess, but Support needs something to counter-act vehicles. If Battlefield studios is really going to make a claim of "returning to form", I feel like this would be a step in the right direction.

Bf3&4 pulled it off and I never saw it as a "balancing" issue due to the fact that every tank in the game ended up with thermal optics that made it pretty tough to get close enough to plant the C4 anyway. It felt like leveling the playing field. As it stands, Support is helpless when any sort of armored vehicle enters the scene.

Obviously I'm a support main, and I'm gonna' keep pounding that drum about dev's making the "return to form" claim. Support should really just run ammo, and send the health back to Assault. They had the formula perfected in Bf3 &4, then decided that it wasn't broke so they broke it.

Odds are we're stuck with this, but if anyone's got any idea on how to get the dev's attention on this, I'm all ears. The support class isn't half of what it used to be despite having a lot more gadgets, some of which aren't even that great. (Looking at you, incendiary airburst launcher).

Return to Form, Battlefield Dev's. You said it, and we bought the game. Now make good on what you said.

NOTE: I've also read that C4 is now considerably weaker than it has been in previous entries, but I've ran Recon recently (hardcore servers), just to test that, and three blocks will knock out a tank. So it SEEMS that devs have fixed that particular issue.

No just no, this is nonsense, there is Recon that is a also "Spec Ops" that has C4 and that is enough. A support class with unlimited C4 would be way too overpowered, it would break the game.

I think the infantry vs vehicle balance does not need another class with anti vehicle abilities in BF6, especially not one that can self support on resupplying explosive stuff such as C4. It would break the little need for teamplay that's still left in this game. We already moved massively towards the lone wolf principle by heavily promoting open primary weapons to classes, we don't need further watering down the class roles by making more gadgets available to more classes.

That's what I'm sayin' lol. We died a lot as infantry against vehicles. I just don't think it's too much to ask that support gets C4 back lol.
