Hoo boy now that's a wall of text.
I think the beginning od BF1 being so short was to signify the churnrate of soldiers; people think war is glamerous but reality shows the majority will bite the dust rather rast.
BFV actuallt utilizes a new server feature that keeps empty rooms out of the list - by searching rooms with full player counts you'll notice we're in a really good spot.
Unfortunately, bots in mp matches (other than Combined Arms) won't become a thing in BFV or other titles in my opinion - it's just not Battlefield's "thing".
1. I agree airceaft flares should be be to be shot down by infantry and other vehicle players. Soldiers can shoot flares over smoke clouds which can't be seen, but people inside the smoke aren't spotted so I think it's balanced.
2. I personally don't know how I feel about the amount of vehicles on a map - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad; one thing I will say is vehicles can easily be abused in this game so it needs to be addressed and supply stations should not be a thing at spawn points.
3. I'm sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you're saying. It's definitely hard to revive players when they are stuck inside objects, that's why it always pays to have at least once explosive with you. It's an intentional feature to not show the revibe symbol and/or be able to revive people in ceetain situations but I think that's only because they aren't intended on being there in the first place.
