Vehicle counts are fine. On some maps there should be more. Give Infantry Only CQ a try if the vehicles are too much for you.
@Juxtapwned
Thanks for the input, I can’t agree more concerning Golmund.
Enjoyed your post until you questioned my IQ. No need to be rude, geez.
to clarify:
With “intoxicating”, I mostly mean the quantity and short respawn time.
@Rojo_the_Rooster, sadly I mean vanilla servers, I do of course avoid fast respawn servers…
Another thing that makes my situation worse is of course, that players can spawn in the vehicles directly. Remember in BF2, where you had to run towards your desired vehicle? Man that was stressful. Made the vehicle worth a lot more too…
If a map has lots of vehicles, use them. If you don’t want to, it’s your personal problem. Though, changing the respawn time of vehicles should make the server unranked.
Big maps = more vehicles
The saga continiues.
There is an infantry-only preset for players like you. However all the servers are empty because people actually want the presence vehicles.
The way most servers on PC work nowadays is that they have fast vehicle respawn. Basically, Battlefield isn’t meant to have every single vehicle active 24/7, but because of the way the servers set it as soon as a vehicle is destroyed it come back into action very quickly, and that can be a nuisance.
Shortening the vehicle spawn times should make the server unranked.
Ok apparently I should’ve changed the title of the thread into something like:
“make the tanks special again”
Guys, it’s not about me disliking the vehicles - I won’t repeat it a fourth time.
In short, I want the spawn times to be longer and the function to spawn inside vehicles removed to ensure that people care more about their tank/jet/AA.. I hope you get it.
Indeed
Also I think the roads are to wide. It’s unsafe for infantry to cross these open spaces due to vehicles and rooftopcampers. Bf4 map philosphy want to give everyone a natural habitat where they can excel. Snipers on the roof. Tanks roaming outside. Infantry battling inside the buildings around objective. It just didn’t work.
I do agree that spawn into vehicles needs to be removed. I also hope planes no longer spawn in flight like how BF4 did.
Having not played in over a year I can’t really speak about spawn times.
I am a chopper fan, and play Golmud CQL most of the time.
I’m that guy who will sit and wait for the chopper to respawn again, but they do take a while. Not sure exactly but something like 2 minutes. I have been in the odd server where they would spawn really quick, but they are rare and I do think the normal respawn time is effective punishment, if you want to put it like that.
And I think the amount of vehicles is fine, but then I prefer to be in a vehicle than on foot. I’ve just always enjoyed the vehicles in BF.
Like some have said rush may be better for you - fewer vehicles, I think they have longer respawn times, and the action is often more squad/team based (mostly). I always felt rush was the most authentic mode, but I don’t play it much as I miss the vehicles!

This is the BF1 gen chat so,..this should have been posted in the BF4 forums.
Also, there were many more vehicles on all maps in BF4 before they overhauled Rush and removed a bunch of them in a patch.
If vehicles are problem switch to engi,..problem solved! And,..there are many maps and game modes you can play that have zero vehicles on them.
So, sorry OP but thread is kind of frivolous,..
, maa/scout are 60, everything else 90
I hope that in 1 vehicle count is well designed to map size and flow so that there is room for infantry. Dragon Valley is rather good example of this. After all Battlefield is about combined arms combat, having both infantry and vehicles.
Number of vehicles is just fine and the 90 second normal respawn is also fine. Your problems are either imagined or it is the absolute useless players that have invaded the game in the last few weeks.
Oh ya play on a normal server. Private server settings are a useless point to discuss just avoid them.
“There are just too many vehicles. And they respawn really fast too!”
More tanks means more burning wrecks and kills for those of us who take out the tanks. As for how fast vehicles spawn, that is under the control of the server operator, and some slow down the spawn speed of vehicles considerably.
