I’ve noticed there’s no way to customize tanks, only if you click then on deploy screen. When tank is not availabe, someone is using it, You can’t customize it, sometimes I click on the tank but want to set a new kit or change to heavy tank for example, it takes a while to do this, but when I click to deploy on the tank and someone has already spawned on the tank I can’t take it anymore, this is so annnoying. It has to be an another way to customize tanks ---

Add this on the deploy screen as well as under character customization on the main menu. ---

Yup, it’s a total pain in the rear. Been asking for it since beta. There’s, what, 15 tank variants now and you have 0.2 seconds to choose one if you’re lucky. I’m know darn well some people don’t even know there _is_ a customize screen or multiple variants for the tanks because you almost never get chance to see it. ---

Even bf3 and bf4 you were able to customize the tank or other vehicles in the main screen. I realy not understand why its not in bf1. I think Dice release the game last year but it was not finished yet and they wanne fix it after the release but the game was en become so broken as hell that Dice is only busy to clean up the mess they have made. ---

I’d say it’s a part, a very frustrating part, of that mess. ---

I completely agree it’s so annoying to have your tank taken as you’re trying to customize it ---

I’m know darn well some people don’t even know there _is_ a customize screen or multiple variants for the tanks because you almost never get chance to see it. Well when a match starts you gotta figure that 31 other people may also want to pick the same thing so the fastest button presser gets it…i agree they should let you customize regardless of having it but maybe theres a good reason why they havent thats yet to be announced. ---

I’ve no idea why this isn’t in the game yet, but you can always bob into an empty server and do it at your leisure. ---

I wrote about this few month ago in “battlefield 1 suggestion and issues”. Hope, that DICE crew read something from this forum. ---

Agreed. The only guranteed way to customise your plane/tank loadout is to go on an empty server and customise it there. Otherwise you can use the companion app and customise it there. ---

I’m REALLY not understanding DICE’s rationale on this. Look at Battlefield 3. It was a pretty flawed game in many ways, but if I recall correctly, its customization screen was fairly solid. You were able to access infantry and vehicle customization from in-game and from the main menu. The only big downside is that you weren’t able to switch between factions on the customization screen when the game features starter weapons that are initially faction-locked. Then Battlefield 4 came around, and then you were only able to customize your loadouts from in-game and the test server (no option on the main menu). I don’t think DICE realized how annoying it was to sit through a loading screen just to modify your loadout. Now, with Battlefield 1, you can customize from the main menu again along with in-game, but for some stupid reason, tanker and pilot customization is left out unless the vehicle is readily available. Not to mention that vehicle camos/skins/paints constantly reset. Seriously, DICE is one step off-beat every single time when it comes to their customization menus. ---

Join a server with no players and with vehicles then customize without worry. ---

yeah, sure you can join an empty server and set your tank to assault. Then you go live on Monte Grappa and your team is getting HAMMERED by twenty enemy planes. You need to be able to change it in-game, according to circumstances. Empty server is not a solution, just a band-aid on a bad wound. ---

I think it can be done in the app. Not sure if it works though and you cannot equip any skin. ---

As soon as they adjust the Netcode about 20 more times they wll add this BASIC feature. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/dice-should-add-tank-customization-on-deploy-screen/103024.md?page=2)
