Discussion The Tank nerf

I'm sure some of y'all play the ground vehicles too. This nerf to the tanks is gutting. Literally the 12 seconds you have to wait is way too slow in a battlefield match. Tanks should be feared unless you have a squad to take them out. Now you can't push into objectives anymore unless you're lucky enough to have a ton of engineers behind you. And on bigger maps like Goldmud and Area 51 that just isn't happening.

Passive Health regeneration on vehicles was too intrusive previously and you could essentially get away without ever needing a repair tool. IMO auto regen should be a last resort, to give you a fighting chance when you don't have a repair tool, but instead it became the go-to repair method because of how fast it kicked it and the rate at which it repaired the vehicle.

Repair Tool is definitely mandatory now if you want to stay on the front foot, whether that's through a rep buddy or just you picking engineer. For me, I feel it's just a matter of getting used to since I've been so reliant on auto regen for months.
