@UP_HawxxeyeI wasn't a fan of the buddy revive for one main reason it lessens the impact of the medic class. And remembering all of the threads on Battlelog about "Medic Trains" I doubt it provided more revives than ever before.
If we want medics to revive again we should go back to the BF3\4 class system as we always had a lot of medics on the battlefield. In BF1\5 they made the medic class the least desirable so people in BF1 complained about there being no medics. So in response DICE kept the class structure as it was and made it even harder to revive via the forced animation compounding the issue resulting in even fewer medics on the Battlefield than in BF1.
Regarding taking ammo, I'd personally rather make support do their job and throw ammo via incentivizing them with more XP instead of using the hardline system. That being said it's not a hill that I'd die on as it's not a huge issue for me like the buddy revive.
I remember a common complaint between players of BF1 being too many medics because they had the best guns and could heal themselves.
I don't think more XP would help. I find most players simply aren't aware when people are asking for ammo and health because players generally throw you supplies when they do finally notice you. The game since Battlefield 3 has done a really poor job at alerting supports and medics that people are trying to get their attention and it's an issue I've been bringing up with each game over the past decade. I feel it would be better if supports and medics got very clear, unmistakable HUD indications when people use the comm rose to call out to them similar to how icons appear on the HUD when a player is downed and requiring a revive.

@NoodlesocksToo many medic was a common complaint in BF3/4 too. As they only seem to heal self and had the better weapons. God even we had video of Influences whine about medics not reviving, while footage showed them ignoring to revive.
Even competitive scene in BF3/4 started to restrict classes because of the over use of medics. Remember no vehicle classes too.
Taking health/ammo should give 0XP.
I too wish we had better in-game communication.
