Dedicated anti-armor drone for the recon class to replace current c4/mine drone.

[celest yew]

Similar to the smoke ability, I suggest an option to fire off a small EMP blast that disables enemy recon drones that are very close by you within a radius, say 10 meters, and a 60 second cooldown or balanced accordingly.
To that end, I also suggest a dedicated Recon class gadget designed for killing armor that acts in the same way as a c4 drone, only without the convoluted switching from drone view to c4 detonator.
Considering how successful drones have been in the current human sacrifice ritual in Ukraine to knock out tanks, the Recon class should have a dedicated gadget for this function that has a higher success rate in killing enemy tanks, most notably the ones that camp the safezone all game and that regular Engineer class players cannot contest due to the long range.

Naturally, this would be placed in the F2 spotter seat necessitating teamplay and coordination between the crewmates.

slaz you can't just upvote your own suggestion

since slaz has probably blcoked most people who will see this i will use palmas message as t he X

c4 is strong enough as is, letting it easily kill would be worse

and 10 meters is useless you'd be dead by the time you realized a drone was there

[valid carbon]

good job making yet another useless post

He has banned so many people no X's can be seen.

The hylics congregate, but they do not comment on the suggestion itself.

[crystal wharf]

when the idea is shit, and the only response is "this idea is shit", why bother writing anything instead of leaving an X.

[valid carbon]

because OP has blocked so many people that we cant vote ❌ on the post

[fair garden]

Ok, I will comment myself then.

I find its funny to drive c4 drones kill tanks, and I really see how pro tank drivers negate these fly things very smooth, or with dedicated teammate out tanks to shoot these down then hop in again.

Recon gadget you suggest, I dont understand much why it is needed.

So your suggestion dont persuade me an upvote, this wont change any real thing. This game really needed have a overhaul remaster balancing rework for all vehicles, things detonate, classes, ....
Until then, fix yourself and find someone you can call buddy to battle you bit, Slaz. Overcome problems with buddy, smart and caring each other.

[celest yew]

Recon gadget you suggest, I dont understand much why it is needed.

It was explained in the OP. Instead of sticking C4, mines onto the drone just make it a dedicated gadget for the recon class who's sole purpose is to destroy enemy armor, doing little or no damage to infantry players. Have it in the same loadout slot as the recon drone.
To then in turn balance this new gadget give the tank a counter to this new threat in the form of EMP.

The inclusion of more content in the game is a good thing, yes?

As for teaming up with a friend there are dozens of ways to contest armor vehicles ingame, sure. Tandems with rangefinder, suicide c4 jeep. Personally a C4 Littlebird has a 100% success rate so far for me but I dislike wasting team assets for 3 minutes.
Creative ways to kill or just skipping that entirely and adding a dedicated gadget who's job is to kill safezone camping armor that is out of bounds.

[boreal jungle]

There's just no point, add something that already exists. Recon should be performing recon first and foremost, and doing no damage to infantry is BS. Tanks don't need more stuff (even if duplicated) to kill them.

This thread should be closed honestly.

[fair garden]

I can say your ideas is interesting in someway, more content for game is fun, but duplicate solutions to kill tanks, I afraid not.

Tanks really weak for now, even they do the trick safezone camping. I will likely support ideas that help vehicles and inf break the line.

[crystal wharf]

slaz really thinks tanks hiding a mile away are actually doing anything.

[dusky marten]

slaz, for someone who loves to dish out critism on other peoples ideas you cannot take any of your own

[robust pecan]

another L tank suggestion
reason enough to ❌

[fervent dune]

Are you really downvoting just because it's a Slazeger post? You guys are crazy

[keen zealot]

Nah suggestion legit sucks

Hating on slaz is the icing on the already shitty cake

[robust pecan]

no, but if i did i would do it in the same way 🗿

[keen zealot]

Perfectly understandable

[dusky marten]

its a bad suggestion, even if it was good i would still downvote it if it was posted by slaz

[celest yew]

Most amusing. To think that during last year many major decision of the game appeared to have been decided with discord emojis via Oki's posts on devupdates. 😂
These are the people "Voting". Good thing this is a suggestion forum for suggestions and not tied to votes 👍
Feel free to contribute to this suggestion, or explain why it's inclusion in the game would be a poor idea.

For the drone itself it could be like the Ukranian/Russian/Iranian drones in play right now in the sacrifice ritual. Damage obviously would not be instant kill unless you sneakily fly it around the back and go for a rear armor kill on the tank. Frontal/side/top should not be lethal, but cause damage.

Good footage of drone kills:

@opaque eagle As someone who likewise has to deal with 'thou who shall not be named' in Oceania servers, what are your thoughts?

Dedicated anti-armor drone for the recon class to replace current c4/mine drone.

[boreal jungle]

slazenger usually doesn't have good suggestions, this being another example of one

[crystal wharf]

as per usual, the suggestion from slaz fucking sucks.

we don't need more shit to force tanks to stay in spawn to stay relevant.

Adding a specialised drone of any kind in BBR would be unnecessary because the recon drone can already be very versatile and it is pretty clear that the drone is made with that versatility in mind.

You can use it as a true recon drone, you can use it against infrantry and you can use it against vehicles.

And there is some variety when deciding what gadget you want to put on it.
Mines are ideal due to them exploding on contact and C4, while stronger, requires you to quickly switch to your detonator in order for it to work.

Drone isn't perfect, claymores straight up don't work on it, antivehicle mines could use a buff, plus there have been mentions of a bug where the drone is completely silent. Otherwise, it really is perfectly balanced and really versatile already, with tangible drawbacks when using it in other ways.

Additions to specialised drones seems rather redundant and won't really add anything to the game in particular.

[crystal wharf]

"perfectly balanced". sure. while not op by any means there are quite a few situations where there is simply no counter to it

[keen zealot]

Well there are some, ain't perfect.

But still, seperating drones into different kinds is just not needed.

Simply alter the propeties of the existing one and make it better for everyone.

[crystal wharf]

some yes, but those situations can be avoided if the operator is a tad more patient. a favorite to kill tanks is to fly it high and side climb it and then let the weight drop the drone out of the sky in seconds on top of the tank with almost no sounds because its not being "powered" and is just idling as far as the game is concerned. there are others, but thats more "you have to look in every direction to see one coming for you" rather than a true balancing issue.

[keen zealot]

Yep

Idling should be bit more audible

[robust pecan]

good thing suggestions are called suggestions

[compact forge]

We should roast the shit out of this guy.

Clown em too

[opaque eagle]

i think like an airstrike you can mark on the map where the camping tank is (including the area of their spawn where they can shoot from not the safezone where everything spawns)

since it would just give them tanks more reasons not to be used outside of spawn or anywhere

what you lot think?

[celest yew]

Not keen on airstrike, though I vaguely recall that being a thing in the beta for squadleads costing something like 1000+ squadpoints points. I don't think I got a chance to ever use it myself
A more direct a personal kill against the tank via drone would be more fitting and punishing
The EMP ability suggested would be enough to counter it for any Tank that does rightfully push up and support the team as they should have an attentive F2 spotter who can defend the tank, watch out for drones in the sky, keep the driver informed of incoming threats
A safezone camping loser like A*** I would doubt even have a spotter or a gunner with him who wants so snipe at targets 1km away thus should be the ideal target for this drone.

@opaque eagle

[fervent dune]

Guys bbr is dead. First it infected the developers like the roots of death, now it infects you. Stop playing this before it's too late. Amen

[celest yew]

🙏

[opaque eagle]

most camping tanks do change between spotter im fairly sure :(

[celest yew]

True? I alwasy thought it ran the risk of it being stolen

[opaque eagle]

that or spam spot since ive been instantly spotted when fully hidden in grass and trees

fairly sure close enough that they cant just abuse that setting to get rid of grass and stuff

[compact forge]

No way you said that.

You seem more to me then BBR.

As long as people are still playing your game, the game isn't dead.

[proud spruce]

A good tank player just runs away from the drone while the gunner/infantry/coax kills it

[compact forge]

I usually engage drones with an AtckHeli

It isnt as hard as others say to shoot down a Drone while going mach 5

[proud spruce]

Especially if they are weight down by C4

[compact forge]

I can take down drones wether or not they have stuff on em

[crystal wharf]

if they see or hear it, which only noob operators will do anyway.

[proud spruce]

I have yet to face a good one

[boreal jungle]

3-40

this may not be a popular suggsetion

(if people didnt double react)

[crystal wharf]

the main post also is very useless anyway. heavy drones from right above mean you don't hear it until its idling on your tank.

[compact forge]

I'll bet Slazenger blocked me alrdy

He just blocks who he does not agree with

Its honestly sad.

[celest yew]

I only block hylics who are not mentally and spiritually capable of holding an opinion themselves and bloat the discussion. There are a great many on this discord.

They swarm around me like medics with C4

[valid carbon]

we hold our own opinions, they just dont line up with yours

[compact forge]

Fr

[celest yew]

Sould the drone playstyle be more lethal and effective then against enemy tanks?

[crystal wharf]

no, because the worth of a drone should not be equal to a tank.

[boreal jungle]

holy slaz

if someone asked me for a quick summary of slaz i'd send a screenshot of this

[proud spruce]

No

C4 should be nerfed or split or whatever to make anti tank less OP. Maybe RPGs should be nerfed too

[celest yew]

Way back when it was widely agreed that medic (and by extension recon) should not have C4 in their class. For both combat and anti armor kills, so they can actually fulfill there role. Ideally that would be the better change before anything else like this suggestion but there are some absolute scumbag players who would still camp the safezone even if such a change was introduced so this one should always be kept an eye on.

[proud spruce]

Well safezone camping hurts more your own team than the enemy

[celest yew]

I know ;_;
I watch them every game fail to protect their home objective's flag. It's super painful.

[keen zealot]

Bold of you to assume that they do it for the team

Maybe some form of votekick or kick timer for spawn camping

[celest yew]

Anything really, so long as the problem gets sussed out in the end

[robust pecan]

kill timer for sitting in spawn smh

[proud spruce]

Maybe 10min timer

[crystal wharf]

tanks are nowhere near good enough to defend a point anyway

[keen zealot]

Yep

Tank be screwed the moment it enters a point

[crystal wharf]

2 types of c4 is still my better ideas. one c4 with extremly low range, low ammo count, and low blast radius, but massive damage, and a c4 breach charge(what we have now but with proper damage/blast radius) to hit open walls. they take the same slot so you can't double up.

[proud spruce]

Tanks are siting ducks in points they should be played in the plains

there are no plains in the play area usually but when there are, they are useless

[fervent dune]

This is dark lore of bbr. You do not understand

[proud spruce]

Where do you think rats come from and put their nests? From the flanks and that is where you find open terrain

[robust pecan]

open infantry terrain is not equal to open tank terrain
if you've played old eduardovo you would be aware of this

Now that slaz is banned

This can be deleted
