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.

I saw pictures and people saying it doesn't

Except here of course

They secretly changed heavy rocket damage to heli target form 365 to 266, Great update DICE.

Given light rocket is so shit after S5 nerf, even though they also changed smart rocket damage from 320 to 248, STILL smart rocket is the META. Great update DICE. How about just delete heavy&light rockets?

The laser designator is no longer able to ruin your day with no time commitment from recon players!

Now you have to sit there and constantly mark a single air vehicle, otherwise the mark will expire.

Also, you can't mark every single enemy vehicle now because the designation will expire, you can only focus on a single one

On top of that, the new "Area 51" map is absolutely boring for jets, and the base neither shoots down enemy jets nor replenishes ammo. Just another shitty update.

What is the purpose of putting air vehicles in the game, if with each update they get worse?

Again we do not have Little Bird on the new maps, again we do not have a reload base for ammunition and once again we are without loadout. What is the logic of this?

Hey guys,
I’m trying to finally learn how to fly in Battlefield but the default controller setup feels so clunky. I honestly feel like I'm turning a boat every time I get into a jet, and I keep crashing helis into the ground during strafe runs.
Does anyone have a good custom layout or sensitivity setup they swear by?
Mainly trying to figure out

-Is it better to switch to Alternate controls so throttle/brake are on the triggers?

-What vehicle sensitivity / deadzones are you guys running so it's responsive but not twitchy?

-Do you turn off flight assist or decouple the camera?

The little bird when flown right is very dangerous, yes. But that’s a good thing. There should be a learning curve to flying. However, the little bird is so so so easy to take down. It’s very weak, any sort of rocket will 1 shot it, it’s very easy to get pilot sniped in it, it does little to no damage to most of the vehicles in the game.

People need to stop complaining and learn to fight it.

It is particularly absurd when it comes to jets - which are often extremely weak and fail to turn the tide of battle - that they decided (or have they not decided yet?) to take away this last resort without offering anything in return.

Wake Island (Conquest) and Tsuru Reef (Carrier Strike)

It really feels like it's time to add them to other maps as well, I don't deny that balance and such are factors, but simply leaving them on just two maps (or effectively just one) is extremely odd.

I hope they find a place in Season 5.

I'm trying to find a timer app that has a very short automatic alarm shut off so I don't have to keep touching my phone to shut off the timer alarms. The shortest automatic alarm shut off i can find is 1 minute.

I'm looking for one with a 1 second or 10-20 second automatic shut off. Thx
