I can agree with you that the ability to see equipment seems out of the realm of practicality, and I can not defend that aspect of the thermal or IRNV scopes because in real life mines would not emit heat, and any difference in temperature from the background would not be as apparent as in this game. Point made .. I would agree ---

I would love to see a poll of the community that looks at the number of players that have an issue with the prevalence of guided weapons, infrared, and FLIR sights in the modern/post-modern hypothetical settings of BF3/BF4 to the number that have an issue with the prevalence of rocket guns, anti-tank grenades, automatic weapons and semi-automatic weapons in the historical setting of BF1. I have my hypothesis. ---

Is it because both staff and mbt can go through Active protection? Because I can understand the frustration, but a weapon is needed to counter the counter. ---

This is a game mate. a game that has several real-life mechanics, though not all the mechanics in this game are real, some should be addressed that are not making sense, and I do wish the defibrillators were more limited than just cant revive anybody that was knifed.
