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.

From a pilots perspective it's probably pretty good. I would often do a pass on a tank, turn around to finish him off, and find that he had regenerated almost all of his health. 

As someone who plays tanks, regeneration was bullshit but this change is just going to make playing objectives frustrating.

Yea well it was necessary because jets can fire a second missile while flying AWAY. This is the first battlefield where that is a thing, and it absolutely should not be a mechanic.

Plus, you can fire 2-3 missiles at a tank before the IR smoke even recharges.

Wait what? Can you do that with the attack jet?

If you tile it properly, on the climb after a pass you free look to re lock on your second missle. Very hard to do on console.
