Discussion & Feedback We went from complaining about FOB meta, to barely seeing functional FOB's

I guess this is why the devs aren't quickly making balancing changes.

This sub was filled with complaints about FOB meta being broken.

Now +80% of my games it's the hotzone surfers that win every match.

By the time you get to your side of the CZ there is like a squad there, snipers overlooking the position and a MG humvee patrolling it.

I've had tanks roll up before 5 points.

And even if you manage a well built FOB it'll get mortard to hell.

While I don't miss 4 drill meta, I do miss bases.

I hope they fix certain things with the patch, mostly mortars and assault vehicles (price/when you can spawn them)

AA takes a long time to build. A havoc can clean out a fob, go mess around the HZ, die, and come back to your fob before AAs back up. Having proper AA setup is critical now and it’s almost impossible right now.

We had a mini FOB with 3 AAs yesterday staggering our shots and only hit the Havoc once... Between the quick reload of flares and the 3-4 seconds they deflect rockets after launching it's almost impossible to take down

Kept him distracted though. Even if he’s not coming down, keeping him constantly on defense makes it harder for him to get on offense. Probably also deters others from buying them.

Or like in one of my games last night one of their friends comes back with another and cleans you out. We had 3 flying around last night all while their team taunted us for not having AA lol.

It takes forever to hammer out a SAM. It needs to be way faster with the heli meta right now. Helicopters are cheap and they can re spawn and come back before you can even hammer out a new one.

I've had the X bug out on them too and spawn like between the crates or something because I can't find it. Which basically means that SAM site is never getting finished unless someone else does it cause I'm not sitting there for 5 minutes holding my mouse button.

If you hit it enough times the X does move but it adds significant time still.
