Season 5 Vehicle Balance Is Driving Dedicated BF6 Players Away

I've been playing Battlefield 6 almost every day with a regular squad of six players. Before Season 5, I was playing 4–6 hours a day. Now I'm down to 2–3 hours, and I'm losing interest.

Season 4 had excellent tank balance. Tanks were effective but could still be destroyed. The Apache and mobile AA helped counter the Little Bird pilots who dominated certain maps in Season 3.

Season 5 has changed everything.

Tanks that previously survived 5–10 minutes now often last 3–5 minutes, even with two engineers repairing them. On smaller maps, they're practically useless.

I've personally destroyed 11 helicopters in one round using a mobile AA with light cannons. I've also repeatedly destroyed full-health tanks from the front and sides while operating solo.

The AA has become more effective than the vehicles it's supposed to counter.

Our squad now uses tanks primarily as transportation or even as decoys to distract enemy engineers. That's how bad the balance has become.

Four of our six regular players are considering leaving Battlefield. Even the two defending the game have largely abandoned tanks.

Battlefield was special because of its combined-arms warfare. Now it feels like Call of Duty on enormous maps with vehicles nobody wants to use.

Please consider restoring Season 4 tank survivability and reevaluating the mobile AA and helicopter balance.

You had an almost perfect game in Season 4. Please don't lose the players who loved it.
