To me the class identity feels a bit... blurred. Support plays more like a Combat Medic hybrid than the classic aggressive, suppression + utility powerhouse we had in BF3 and BF4. The Defibrillator being on Support is the main thing that throws the balance off for me. In BF3/BF4, Assault was the medic class it carried the team with heals and revives, while Support was the guy laying down suppressive fire, resupplying the team and bringing the boom with C4 for building clears and some anti-vehicle plays. Currently hardly anyone bothers to revive cause most people just like being (The ammo guy ) and lets be real in the field i don't think you’re going to see some guy sprinting around with a big LMG / 25+ kg of gun + ammo trying to run over and do whatever healing they're able do to a wounded teammate.
What I’d like to see :
full weapon point removal on all guns It just dosent fit with battlefield's freedom and should never of been considered as a option in the first place. Its an attempt at balancing that just limits and frustrates every player, It Kills the realism.
Give Support C4 and add the throwable UCAV back (or a balanced modern equivalent ) as a gadget slot option.
Move the Defibrillator back to Assault. Let Assault reclaim its historical role as the dedicated frontline combat medic while Support focuses on ammo sustain, heavy suppression and destructive utility.
iLuckyBrad I completely agree with this.
Right now, the Support class feels way too hybrid. Some players use it as a medic, while others play it the old-school way as a suppression/fire support role. This creates a lot of confusion in combat, because when you see a Support player, you never really know what to expect — will he revive you, or is he focused purely on fire support?
I agree that moving healing and the Defibrillator back to Assault, like in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, would already be a step in the right direction.
However, I think an even better solution would be to go further and bring back a five-class system, similar to what we had in Battlefield 1942.
Here’s how I would see it:
-Assault → stays as it is currently
-Medic (new class) → healing kit, defibrillator, smoke grenades, with carbines as signature weapons
-Support → ammo crate, interception system, C4 (like before), incendiary grenades, LMGs
This would completely remove the current overlap and give each class a very clear and readable role on the battlefield.
As for the weapon point system, I also agree that it feels too limiting and goes against Battlefield’s freedom. Removing it would be great, but attachments should be balanced carefully so they don’t create overpowered “meta builds” that everyone ends up using.
That said, I don’t think it would be a major issue if handled properly.
