imo there is way too many anti tank weapons and infantry is too powerful against tanks in general compared to other battlefield games…
yeah ffs so frustrating when your in a tank and they have rocket launches its so annoying please nerf assault vehicle buster.
Agreed. As a grunt I don’t fear tanks whatsoever.
Weak MG and hardly any splash from main gun.
I would agree…if it wasnt for the fact that tank campers are very present
Tanks are a little weak and players should be cautious of them, but not in Battlefield 5.
Players flock to tanks because they are such easy marks.
This is just one more issue to add to the pile.
well they should get a way to work around that whilst also nerfing assault class
Easier said than done pal
It’s funny when I see a vehicle I run towards it as assault. Between slow turret turn speeds and basically 0 splash there is almost no danger unless you happen to pop out right in front of the cannon.
Tanks should also be cautious engaging without support!
It works both ways am afraid
Yeah its called camping in spawn.
The solution is to buff tanks where ONE assault guy isn’t judge and jury.
At this point it’s not balanced at all.
Assault class is too powerful against tanks.
Real tank killer in BF5 should be Airplanes, AT guns and other tanks.
Compared to older BF games they are very vulnerable to infantry yes. Most of them are slow, feel sluggish and have almost no splash damage at all. Top gunner is a sitting duck, even with the option to duck for cover. In my experience it’s for 1 assault easy to destroy a tank when you can get behind it and pound it’s with a panzerfaust, followed by AT grenade, followed by panzerfaust again. Pretty easy when tank is there all alone.
Tanks needs support from assualt and support class to make a difference, but that’s not what you get as a tank driver most of the time.
I kill crunchies with the tanks MG frequently, it’s not that weak. Infantry seems stronger because they don’t light up like a Christmas tree with spotting anymore so they’re shooting AT assets at you and then moving or hiding so it’s just harder to engage them.
As someone who rarely ever uses tanks I’d be thoroughly against this change. I understand why vehicles are included in the game even though i despise them. However tanks are already too big of a problem in the game. If you are scout, medic, or even support really you can’t do anything against them if one runs up on you. You need to have 1 class that can handle them. Many times I play this game and I have to switch my class to assault because I keep getting wrecked by tanks. So I have to totally altar my play and preference just to try to neutralize the tanks some. I don’t buy shooters to have some tank parked on a hill a mile out shoot me in like 2 shots and kill me. If I had my way tanks would not exist they would shrink maps a tad so it’s easier to get around from 1 objective to the other or just have non lethal means of transportation. I think in perfect world maybe buff the tanks slightly but limit how many teams get.
I wouldn’t mind having infantry being more powerful over tanks if would have much more vehicles like it is now. BFV looks totaly a infantry focused game now. And for me this turns away from the franchise gameplay core.
BF3 and BF4 had lots of gadgets to take out tanks, but there were so many tanks and much more controleble than BFV.
If Im bejng honest I think people are sleeping on the top gunner. Given the right position it does wonders
Exactly and to me that’s a balance issue.
You must be joking. Anti-tank weapons are awful. The other day I sent 4 panzerfaust up the of a tank in quick succession. 3 of which were literally one after the other and it still carried on as though I was throwing apples at it. I don’t think I have ever managed to take one out with 3 and that is absurd. That coupled with the silly reload time on the panzerfaust make it a showpiece. One thing I will say about tanks is they are underpowered in the firepower department. Against infantry anyway. The splash damage against infantry is almost non-existent.
Its a fine balance, tanks already sit on the edge of the map shelling the out of capture points so buffing them would make this even worse, on the other side of the coin if a tank goes charging into a cap point it will get melted.
Not sure how anyone can say the tank MG is pants, it completely shreds infantry.
It isn’t just one assault player though is it!
Many players now actually run with there squads and actually team play!
I have lost count of how many tank players just drive off aimlessly into battle thinking they are invincible.
If your on your own in the middle of a field standing out like a sore thumb without support your easy meat and rightfully so!
