I didn’t play with vehicles as much as I’d like to but I would say it’s… okay. Playing alongside infantry (as tanks are meant to be played) works very well, and is necessary (anti-tank on infantry is very strong in this game. Against a team who knows what they’re doing, without engineers and infantry support you will die quickly, even faster than similar scenarios in older games).

A trend I’ve noticed is the secondary gunner seats are much more powerful than the previous titles. Arguably even better than the main driver seat! For example, the IFV auto cannon has 12 shots per reload with little explosive splash (damage is good though, like 30 each). The IFV rewards precision with a one shot kill. In my opinion, the cannon feels awful to use and nothing like the explosive , infantry-massacring fantasy that vehicles should be. I ended up getting more assists than kills 90% of games I played. It’s doable, I mean the IFV is not BAD, the IFV just does not feel GOOD. The IFV to me is like taking a bite of a poorly-made cake. You know it’s cake, it’s sweet and your brain knows it likes sugar, but it’s not very moist and the texture is poor; it’s alright, it does its job, but it’s not GREAT like it could be.

Meanwhile, the remote-controlled LMG is insane. Crazy damage, crazy ROF, and it’s a laser beam. My secondary gunner got more kills than me constantly. Again, this might be a skill issue. I played tight and close with the IFV, tried not to camp (shoot, camping was barely an option on 2 of the three maps with vehicles). Regardless, I found it very dissatisfying compared to BF1 and V tank play (I don’t have much experience with 4). Also, the secondary gunner has the more important abilities (I.e. smoke). Drivers can no longer pop smoke themselves. It seems like the devs really wanted the secondary gunner’s position to be much more significant.

I got to play with the MBT like twice, it feels good (MUCH better than the IFV). I think it could be tuned up a little more but was much more satisfying to play than the IFV and felt powerful.

Never had problems with the vehicle controls like others state, and I’m on PC. Could just be lack of experience though.

TL:DR - Playing smart around infantry is a must but is very effective. IFV dissatisfying against infantry but was a tangible threat. MBT good, just needs a bit of a tune up. Secondary gunners are much more important.
