You can't shoot from safe zone man

#

Learn the game first

#

You can't shoot, heal, repair with tool, reload, ads, use any kind of gadgets there

#

In spawn protection zone you can do all of that, as well as take damage

#

There is no place nor possibility to shoot while being invincible in this game

#

You are either uninformed, or lying for own convenience, spreading such easy to check informations

#

I hope its first one

topaz wing
#

Wait someone in #battlebit-eng was telling me tanks regularly shoot from safe zone. I haven't played since the playtests so I can't just check it.

nimble pendant
#

So you trust info from BBR eng, and don't check it?

#

It was amways cesspit of trollong

#

Nothing changed

#

yall im confused is there any reason for the APCs (the ones with the 30mm cannons) to be this innacurate? out of 15 shots, 0 hit where i was aiming at 50 meters. i was trying to get someone behind a tank husk and they would just get flinged around. pretty stupid when all it takes is one rpg or someone holding sprint for 1 second to get behind you and c4 you

#

honestly i think the problem is that every single class can take C4. at first i found that funny but now i find it stupid. you try to help your team anywhere near a city you get rained on c4. not to mention enemies with tandem just camping your spawn exit waiting to one shot you in the ass

nimble pendant
#

just bad design

rose mesa
#

its especially annoying when i need 5 damn shots to kill one guy if i miss him by an inch

#

or even more

#

its a 30mm for gods sake

#

if a stupid rpg can one shot it i dont see why it shouldnt be able to one shot players

nimble pendant
#

Rpg shouldn't be able to one shot it

#

It's stupid

#

No game does that ffs

rose mesa
#

waits 5 minutes for apc
gets one shot by spawn camper
mfw

#

i dont mind it being able to be one shot from behind, but i do really mind not being able to one shot back with a round that should very much vaporize anything alive that it hits

nimble pendant
#

Nah man, 2btk is good, especialy with splash

#

The survivablity of APC is a joke

rose mesa
#

id be more accurate with a shotgun that has a barrel shorter than the round

nimble pendant
#

Yeah

#

But it's like, one of the most complained things

#

Surely it will be improved

rose mesa
#

i hope

#

would be nice to have some protection system with a cooldown

#

it just kills the first rpg so you at least know youre being shot at

#

APS system or trophy or whatever

topaz wing
#

It wouldn't be realistic at all but I feel like many armored vehicles would be in a much better place if they had more health, but had significant damage drop off past mid range. To encourage them to actually push and support infantry.

nimble pendant
keen magnet
#

Devs decision to give every class C4 already big nerf for armored Vehicles imo. Why dont they just give different type of c4 like other class get c4 that ineffective against armored and give engineer somethings like shaped charge or EFP

nimble pendant

#

Nobody likes being in a situation where the only option is to retreat or hide

#

because people want to play quickly and kill everything

nimble pendant
#

Doesn't mean that one guy should be able to solo power multiplier

#

Especially on 127vs127

#

When there is 127 of those guys

severe willow
#

Agreed

nimble pendant
#

Such unprecedented scale requires different approach, and what is done currently is not that

topaz wing
#

Honestly if they rework vehicles I think armor should require multiple people to operate, and be balanced accordinly.

severe willow
#

Thing is people have to be kept happy
And most people probably like their ability to destroy tanks or APCs whenever the opportunity arises

I personally feel like a more well-accepted solution be to aim to adjust vehicle mechanics so it’s harder to get C4 onto them but still having the possibility open, which might be a bit fiddly I suppose.

I’d need more opinions on that though as I’m just projecting here

nimble pendant
#

Big boat is an good example, no one wants to be a driver

#

People don't expect to sit in driver position only driving, in arcady fps game

#

It would kill this gameplay loop

#

That's very bad take, like seriously, we have players that don't heal/ress as medics, what gives you idea that they would be designated driver for a tank, only for other player to have all the fun of being a gunner

#

Look at tank commander seat (F2) it's more important than MG seat, but players barely use it, unless in premade.

#

It's very boring gameplay, you only click 1 and 2 , and even then you don't really contribute without comms

#

That's why it mostly serves as glorified passenger seat

keen magnet
keen magnet
nimble pendant
#

I mean, definitely underrated, and very powerful too

#

Thermal scope with 8x zoom is not a joke

#

But no one is using it, and effective use really requires using comms and giving more info than just a 2d ping

keen magnet
#

Kinda pain in the a** if the tank driver didnt listen to you. Like wtf, i have thermal vision you know. Just shot at my damn ping

#

I even talk to you how many enemy or where they are

nimble pendant
keen magnet
#

Tank only powerful when the crew is premade or in same clan with some experiences together

nimble pendant
#

Even for Squad/arma

keen magnet
nimble pendant
#

For a game like BBR, a fast paced arcade BF-like shooter, its too much

nimble pendant
#

There is no culture lile that in BBR

keen magnet
nimble pendant
#

Yeah

#

It will work in hardcore

#

But it's too much for an arcade

#

BF4 did vehicles coop well

#

Only one additional player, and he have a gun to use

#

That's all

#

Simple yet effective solution

keen magnet
nimble pendant
#

Then we have a big problem of totaly useless feature

#

Like, at best, it's free XP farm, unless you are one of the few, that do tanks as premades, which will be propbaly extremly rare

#

in scope of the game

#

While limiting acces to thermals for all 99.9% other players that doesn't play that way

keen magnet
nimble pendant
#

But tank left in base at the start of the game is relatively common sight on 128 EU servers

rose mesa
#

you can have the best tank crew in the world

#

if your team is bad and they let past one single guy with c4s, youre done

#

i literally ran past 6 people, all looking my way, and put 4 c4s on an abrams and blew it up

#

would also be really nice if we could repair from inside the tank like in battlefield 1

#

you cant move and you can only shoot

#

would solve the problem of people stealing your tank too

nimble pendant
#

Especially when those players don't care to babay sit, and sometimes are stupid enough to not know they are classes in the game

#

Tanks should be competent on their own, not when baby sited by team members

rose mesa
#

bruh, missed someone by an inch with a T90 HE round and they survived

#

love it when a round that could level a house tickles someone

keen magnet
rose mesa
#

honestly id love for the rpg to leave a trail

#

cant count the amount of times im just getting shot from somewhere inside a forest

His limbs should be in the air

#

But he doesn't care

#

He just stands there, aiming at you

Half the time i get hit by an rpg i get turned 90*

Bad physics

analog igloo
nimble pendant
#

30mm will do it from like 5m

analog igloo
#

and also HE(EATFS) will just rip through you instead of exploding on your chest

nimble pendant
#

On direct hits there is nothing else than mince meat

analog igloo
#

they probably use training ammo

#

devs be like fuck you no good shit for you

#

bro this is the AP shell lol

#

what are devs thinking

#

@nimble pendant wonder why APCs suck

#

the fucking training ammo with no explosive man

nimble pendant
#

God, rarden is heafty as fuck

analog igloo
#

nah bro it's definitely the GAU 8 HEI-T round in this game

nimble pendant
#

So Warrior have better armament than Bradley

analog igloo
#

HE yes AP no

#

these devs are thinking we use training ammo bro

rose mesa
#

yo

#

whats up with the HE drop compared to AP?

#

AP be going straight like a rail gun and HE is like throwing a rock

nimble pendant
#

Yeah, Oki calls it balancing

#

I heard a urban legend, that there should be a drop indicator working

#

But that's only a myth

nimble pendant
#

Exactly

rose mesa
#

whoever is the dev really does not like vehicles

#

at least ground ones

#

tank - countered by every class

cant even range find

#

can you put videos here?

nimble pendant
#

You have range finder

#

No use for it, but oh well

rose mesa
nimble pendant
#

Yes

#

As devs intended

keen magnet
# nimble pendant As devs intended

They didnt want tank camping to keep happening yet they didnt give us tools/abilities to cqc combat. Tank is too weak against tandem, and AP round have too little damage, HE is heavy as Sh*t. Honestly i dont know what the devs want with tank.

nimble pendant
analog igloo
#

AP shells: 1500m/s
HE shells: 1400m/s
Drop in game be like: laser and rock throwing

#

wow so balanced bro

and the FCS doesn't even work

I want just simple Squad sights

whatever sights that fit the fucking drops

rose mesa
#

man why the fuck cant i drive when i get hit by another apc in my apc?

#

they hit me once and my thing just starts going in random directions

#

i got hit once when running and it made me do 5 donuts

nimble pendant
#

That's a bug

#

Oki knows

rose mesa
#

not me but exactly what happens to me

#

also for fucks sake can we get the physics fixed? i got hit by an rpg in my tank, while i was behind smoke and it nearly flipped me upside down

rose mesa
#

dawg how tf is an rpg doing more damage than an AP round

#

shot a tank 4 times in mine, 10 dmg

#

3 rpgs and im smoking

nimble pendant
rose mesa
#

10 dmg is stupid

#

youd have to use almost all your AP just to kill another tnak

analog igloo
#

real lol

rose mesa
#

can the getting kicked out of tank when in water be removed? its such a stupid and useless feature. You hit a puddle that is slightly too deep and you get kicked out of the tank and it becomes worthless

severe willow
#

If the tank failing in water was a more gradual process it would make more sense - so you have time to react

#

and the depth it currently drowns at is really shallow

rose mesa
#

cant tanks go to like the turret ring

#

or even higher

rich prawn
#

Imagine if the us military has stocked multi million dollar MBTs that instantly die when they touch water

#

As long as the upward facing exhaust is above or even just below the water, it's fine for a while

analog igloo
#

Lmao bro the Abrams in game has the same speed as the T90 both forward and reverse

#

which is stupidly annoying

# nimble pendant Tandem is just OP tbh

Fair enough. At minimum i don't think they should be handheld. They should be a turret option for humvees with only 4-5 shots total.

Or just removed from the game...

keen magnet
nimble pendant
#

Tandem is too op, because it's too good for how much of them can be at the same time in game (127, technically)

analog igloo
sharp mirage
topaz wing
#

I think the problem with tandems is that the devs wanted them to keep vehicles from being OP, but in actuality they only punish intended vehicle play and force vehicles to use cheesy farming strats even more.
Basically, you either abuse tanks to farm dozens of kills from a relatively safe sniping position near the safe zone, or you get melted trying to use a more honorable playstyle, and no in-between.

sharp mirage
#

A carful tank driver with good infantry SHOULD be pretty damn hard to kill

topaz wing
#

I think a big part of the problem is Engineers being similar to Medics in basically being an Assault+ class that sacrifices little general effectiveness for what they specialize in, so players don't really have to consider sacrificing their infantry combat capabilities to do AT. If tandem engineers were weak against other infantry supporting a tank, and needed their own infantry support to be fully effective pushing against nearby infantry, the teamplay balance would be much more balanced.

sharp mirage
#

Most classes lack identity

#

They are too generalist

topaz wing
#

Honestly only recon and support seem like Oki had a clear idea of both upsides and downsides, while Medic and Engineer are basically boosted Assault variations and squad Leader is literally Assault but worse.

rich prawn
#

I'll be SL role if I can use the squad points with the SOFLAMs to call in CAS or something

#

Or give the SOFLAMs to recon and have the SL kit only able to call it in

rose mesa
#

imagine if tanks had flir so they could spot people hiding in bushes better

rose mesa

rose mesa
#

and honestly, a mirror button

#

or something to see behind you

#

terrain is way too weird to be able to back up

nimble pendant
# keen magnet And why is that?

Because right now, it doesn't serve it's purpose 99% of the time. Its very powerfull, but also empty feature. To use it correctyl, you need a person that can play the game, and can communicate with you fluently, which is aledy hard to find on EU and ASIA servers. Then, the commander sight gameplay is just really boring, and not incentivising to a player, you basically sit there and click 1 or 2 to make static 2d markers, which aren't really usefull, unless someone gives you more info, for example, what it is, how far, if its behind cover, etc. Marker alone doesn't give you enough info to react/prioritise it correctly, and if spammed, it is a distraction.
So basically a very important feature is not used, because it's boring, and when used, requires communication level possible only with premades. You can happen to find someone competent you can communicate with in game, but that's extremely rare, rare enough to make this feature useless in practice.

#

Giving driver and MG gunner thermal, time limited like FLIR scope, gives you more flexibility, and limits it use, unlike F2 seat. It also removes 3 player from the tank, which is a nerf, because otherwise 2 players could be repairing at the same time, or a player can repair tank when both driver and MG gunner are inside.

analog igloo
#

whats the point of a commander anyways he ain't got no power or control over the tanks anyways

nimble pendant
#

It's a spotter seat, without proper spotting, and relies on voice communication to be effective

#

So more like a podcast seat

rose mesa
#

spectator seat 😭

#

i think the biggest problem is the pings are only visible when you look at them

#

in other games they show up at the edge of your screen

#

and in a rather big size

analog igloo
#

commander should have some power over the tank

#

yet it doesn't

severe willow

#

Is this vehicle feedback thread 2.0 now with the other one being closed for some reason

#

I think the spotter seat should be combined with the gunner seat personally. Let the gunner swap between firing mode and spotting mode. Spotting mode can have more zoom, flir, etc just like currently. I like being the spotter in the tank, but it's real difficult to get someone decent in that seat

nimble pendant
#

This is OG place to whine about vehicles man

#

Some people that were active here weren't seen for few months

rose mesa
ocean thunder
#

They mean like it appears on the edge of your screen so you can turn and see 'em

#

Not like they literally appear on the edge of your screen

#

like an arrow pointing towards it

keen magnet
rose mesa
#

i get that but ive never noticed them

#

id like if they at least made a sound

#

and had a bigger icon

ocean thunder
#

Oh yea, you can change the tank hud color. I forgot about that. Mine is like yellow lol

rose mesa
#

ah

#

id honestly prefer them in a radial setup around your screen

keen magnet
rose mesa
#

i dont know if you seen it in WoT?

rose mesa
#

or just use any other seats camera

ocean thunder
rose mesa
#

id love to use the commander flir when i drive my tank

ocean thunder
rose mesa
#

a tank shouldnt be this easy to kill

ocean thunder
rose mesa
#

no need to make it insane

#

can easily make demo c4 that mainly damages buildings

#

and engineers keep the vehicle damaging c4

ocean thunder
#

Two people ideally can cover most direcitons already. Having the third person also able to shoot means that there are basically 0 blind spots on the tank. If and when c4 and tendems are adjusted the tank will then need to be adjusted again

rose mesa
ocean thunder
#

It'd be a better bandaid fix right now to just boost the health of the tank very slightly or something. Although - I haven't had the chance to BE in a tank since the recent changes because there aren't any tanks fucking anywhere

keen magnet
#

Or add hunter killer capabilities to commander seat. This hunter killer capabilities will override driver input and make the turret focus on that spotter/commander input. Ofc it need some cooldown so it cant be abused. Just like tank is squad

ocean thunder
#

because the only mode with them is conquest lol

ocean thunder
#

But, I haven't played squad so maybe it works better than I think

rose mesa
#

im lining up the perfect shot and boom, my guy makes me do a 90 turn to shoot at some random dude

ocean thunder
#

Yea, I still think consolidating the 3 seats into 2 would be better - or give the spotter soflam and add guided missiles into the game 😎

rose mesa
#

im of the opinion that just letting the driver control either of the seats however and whenever he wants is one of the best changes they could make

#

you wouldnt need to be babysat anymore

keen magnet
rose mesa
#

there is a reason tanks in battlefield have one main seat

#

and can be repaired from the inside

ocean thunder
#

They had 3 in bf4

rose mesa
#

yeah but main one controlled most of the tank

#

and you had third person

ocean thunder
#

In fact, the one in BF4 was pretty much the same as this game

keen magnet
#

Ok any new solutions then to the commander seat?

rose mesa
#

merge it with the top mg

ocean thunder
nimble pendant
#

Give spotting and thermal to a dron

#

To make it something more than C4 delivery

nimble pendant
#

I don't remember that at all.

#

Spotter seat is more likely stolen from Squad than BF

#

BF2042 have spotter seat, but oki didn't played it

zinc sonnet
#

spotter seat is still somewhat of a good seat, moving the turrets the main and machine gunner turrets are a pain to make a 360°.
When communication is available I ask the spotter to do regularly 360° because doing those with the other turrets is pain as I said, and its still a seat to do a full scan for enemy, most importantly a scan to avoid being sneaked up on and get C4'd.

Their removal is not a smart but giving the thermal ability to the other two gunners are still a good thing, because you are not relying on the spotter because it has thermal.

Their removal would be maybe a bit of a nerf to people who communicate in a tank, where the spotter does this strategy.

ocean thunder
zinc sonnet
#

Yeah I had the same idea, I was just opposing Drew's raw opinion on removing it

ocean thunder
#

Yea. I'm opposed to giving thermals to any seat with a gun

#

I played bf4, it's not fun when all vehicles have thermals lol

#

Suggestion for the LB and other helicopters passenger seat. Give them a thermal camera they can look through on the bottom of the heli

#

That way they can play like a spotter in the tank. Give them something to do

#

If you're worried about it being too strong, make the camera shootable

zinc sonnet
#

on helis there could be a spot light lmao, or a spot light that is IR

ocean thunder
#

That'd be pretty cool af

#

A blinding spotlight up close at night

zinc sonnet
#

or IR or normal laser to blind tank or other digital cameras

nimble pendant
#

It's just fundamentally flawed gameplay loop, with no incentives and rewards for extreme majority

#

And I don't think it can be improved upon, because whole idea is just boring in comparison to anything that FPS games offer. At this point it's not player preferences for gameplay, but just objectivly bad design for genre.

zinc sonnet
#

I mean if you go alone and you don't have a trio organised then yes it can be a bit of a down side.
The rate you get a good spotter is 1/3 rare, though the majority just doesn't know what that role do or should do and gets overwhelmed and gets out, or the role has no pew pew making the spotter a bit boring.

What Lostmixup said is somewhat good and what my thought was that it could have gun.

by getting another gunner could go 3 ways.

The spotter gets turret that is built into the spotter seat and it can see in Flir mode while shoot an MG.

The spotter could switch between two positions within the seat which is spotting, and supporting with either an M2 or a digital cam-viewed mg turret.

The F2 and F3 seat bleeds into one seat, a 7m that can switch between spotter flir and gunner normal view, or it has flir all the time.
And F3 seat the new MG will be an open hatch M2.

If mg would be not a good idea then other things still could be given to the spotter to make it less boring and more interesting.

Two 7Ms would look weird.

Removing the role would be a nerf to organised tank people.

nimble pendant
#

The fact that you need an organised crew to use spotter seat efficiently is too much of a requirement

#

Amd lack of pew pew is a big downside to it, monkeys like pew pew

zinc sonnet
# nimble pendant The fact that you need an organised crew to use spotter seat efficiently is too ...

I mean you can still pray to Allah to give a good spotter to you.
Or if a guy stuck inside the role and you teach him what the hell to do with it, asking him to make 360°s is still an option.
The role isn't neccesarily bind to an organised full 3 crew.

Only 2 people can use it one person stays F1 the other switches regularly between F2 and F3, that works too.

Having all the three person organised is not forced but it gives a lot of convinience.

nimble pendant
#

I wouldn't see it as a big problem if it wasn't hogging thermal. This very needed feature is not used correctly 99% of the time.

#

And I will trade spotter seat for it without a hesetation

zinc sonnet
#

"Hogging thermal"? please elaborate.

nimble pendant
#

Keeping to yourself, so no one else can have it/taking more than you are supposed to

zinc sonnet
#

thanks

analog igloo
#

vehicles having no thermal is laughable

#

players are acting as if it will give vehicle players wallhack or something

nimble pendant
#

And thermal is blocked by foliage/vegetation and smoke.

#

There is counter to thermal alredy lol

ocean thunder
#

I would only give spotter a gun if they could be shot out while using the gun

#

Otherwise, 3 guns is too much coverage

#

To balance 3 guns the spotter gun would have to have like no ammo (would suck), do no damage (sucks), or somehow be super vulnerable (not the worst)

zinc sonnet
#

Spotter with m2 to change.
And not a lot of ammo, so they have to use it in danger

analog igloo
#

yeah no if we're going realistic remove RWS from T90A

#

if we're going for casual experiences please add stabilization for RWS

rose mesa
#

i still think allowing the driver to use any of the seats while still controlling the tank is the best QoL improvement. add like a half second or one second transition

#

if i had a dollar for every time i was in a tank, we take one single rocket and the guy that was in the spotter / mg seat just bails out i would probably afford a mansion
