Maybe it’s me but I swear after this latest patch/update they tweaked it so that tanks hardly move after first hit with full health. I’m gonna end up breaking my stick pushing it so hard trying to make my tank limp back out of danger lol. Anyone else notice the change? ---

It’s a awesome mechanic DICE put into the game called Systemic Damage. Where at any moment your Tank can be crippled at Multiple places. It’s one of the many reasons Tanks are Camping Coffins now. Whoever designed that feature needs to never touch vehicles again. ---

Not gonna lie, I thought I was finally stepping up my anti tank game for support. Should have known, it’s the new “Tanks made of taped together egg cartons” bug. Testing the waters, Dice? Maybe you should just ask the last guys how they dealt with balance instead of seeing how many turds we kick outa the toilet. This whole “Vaulttech experimental game” shtick is starting show your dissinterest in what makes battlefield successful. ---

^^^ They don’t call it assaultfield 5 for no reason. Love watching a single asslt solo a Tiger. Tanks get disabled if they get hit by a stiff wind… main guns have pathetic splash damage. ---

Well if you took a hit in the tracks you’d probably be in the plop in real life. I think also sometimes you are taking more than 1 hit. For instance I usually put my dynamite on before hitting you with my nade or PIAT. These threads make me lol as they often contain comments from ppl who scream for more ‘mersion, but they don’t like the reality of it when it effects a toy they wanna farm kills with. ---

“in real life” lol common. because getting shot with a tank shell for 86 damage and then continuing to bunny hop and sprint away to cover seems logical too lol ---

See…it’s comments like this that make me wanna “lol”. Let’s delve into “real life” shall we? Assault Infantry carrying 3 Piat, 3 sticky dynamite, a nade , assault weapon and ammo, axe/shovel etc. a knife, whip out a radio and call in a bomb, and other customizations like a gas mask etc. So yea…LOL! And while we’re at it…maybe the sharp brains that make these changes ( with all of the more important things that should be fixed instead) should make assault limp or crawl back to a health depot the next time I pump a few machine gun shells into them and don’t die. Or maybe when a 6 pounder lands at your feet but yet you’re still able to run off? Because you know…we’re talking “real life” here aren’t we? Maybe put a little thought into your opinion next time. ---

Oh and another thing about your “farm” comment. The only thing that’s going to happen with this tweak is make more guys like me who like to push the objectives sit back close to resupply stations now. Then you’ll have more farming. LOL! ---

@Marine_IraHayes2 someone’s Jimmies are rustling. Quite sure a fit soldier could carry some charges and a bundle in certain circumstances… it’s a game though. 😬 We could go round in circles on this one. For instance, you want 4 people to man that tank? It’s called balance. Currently I see tanks frequently go 50+ kills to zero deaths on some maps. I know I can get 10 easy without a death. When I tank I’m a bit of a Zerg though and may die accordingly. Tanks are fine except that maybe she’ll velocity needs to be dialled back do they are forced closer in maybe. That’s my opinion though. Calm yourself bunj. It’s not the core here. Please end more sentences with LOL! It really adds to the spiciness. Mmmmm zesty. ---

Here we go again. You want to talk about real life while throwing Dynamite with no fuse and carrying a pistol,Rifle, Dynamite,Rocket launcher, Anti Tank grenade with no movement nerfs and when I shoot you you don’t get crippled. These comments make me LOL because the Assault Spammers want easy Tank Kills. ---

Turrethead: My Tiger was destroyed by a solo Assault! Tanks in this game suck! Us: Dude, there were three of us, we were all shooting at you, you got hit a bunch of times. Turrethead: I think it was just one hit too, one hit and my tank was wrecked and blew up! Us: There were three of us, you got hit with dynamite and PIATs and an AT grenade, there was some guy not in our squad shooting a Boys at you too. Turrethead: No, I asked my friend, he said it was just one guy! Us: Listen, we watched your video, you were clearly taking hits from several directions, you can even see us popping up in different spots with different skins on, it’s a whole squad, not one guy. Why did you roll in there all alone anyway, don’t you know that’s suicidal for a tank? Turrethead: BFV tanks are garbage, like made of paper, Assaults are OP, this game sucks! And so it goes, and yes, this is based on a real incident. ---

Tanks are about perfect in BFV (give or take some iffy hit registry issues). They’re powerful and very long-lived when used well, but they’re no longer damage sponges that absorb every hit from every direction with no issues. You have to play smart and stay aware. If you’re struggling to make an impact with tanks in BFV, it’s because YOU are not good, not because the tanks aren’t good. If anyone has doubts or just wants tips, I’ll be happy to provide as many clips of objective-pushing tank play as you like. ---

Just watch this and get educated. The illusion for Tank drivers is that we want to farm kills. Quite the opposite we want to be able to help our Team out and push objectives.

@Marine_IraHayes2 yeah you got me bunj. It’s a forum. If you want your own private discussion to moderate maybe get a tumblr or try club penguin. I responded with a valid scenario that would cause the issue. In the end the game works like it does and you will be the keyboard warrior you will be still getting taken out by one Assault because you have the situational awareness of a lemming. You keep being you though bunj. Start cry threads then get upset when people respond. Then act like you won when you have achieved zero change and just chosen to ignore people’s feedback.
