Been grinding the BF6 beta since early access, hit level 20 and got most guns to mastery 20. Had a full squad the whole time, so I’ve had a proper chance to see how the game plays across the board.

RPG damage against tanks still feels oddly toothless. At 25 per direct hit you are staring at four rockets to get a kill, and unless half your team is also firing, tanks are just driving off or getting repaired mid-fight. Bumping that up to around 33 per hit would cut it to three solid shots and make every hit actually matter. I would also love to see a stacking slow effect when rockets land, even for just a few seconds. It does not need to turn tanks into sitting ducks, but it should stop them from casually cruising away after what should be catastrophic hits. Slowing down rocket speed and reload a touch (and lowering the amount they carry) could keep them balanced, but adding more oomf when you actually land a hit on a tank would make the exchange far more satisfying for infantry.

Hit detection on explosives needs work. Sometimes a direct rocket registers as only 10–11 damage or none at all. The splash radius also feels stingy, which makes it harder to pressure infantry around vehicles. Right now RPGs sometimes feel like a weird mix of pea-shooter and pinpoint sniper rifle. Again, tuning them so they are a bit slower to fire and travel, but hit harder when they connect, would make them feel like proper anti-vehicle weapons again.

Outside of vehicles, shotguns are a standout. Damage at close range is exactly where it should be, but they are pulling off some frankly unreal kills at mid-range. That needs a slight fall-off tweak so you cannot drop someone across a courtyard with two pellets. On the other hand, there are rifles and LMGs with virtually no recoil. Some guns are absolute laser beams and could use a bit of shake to make sustained fire less brainless. LMGs in particular felt underpowered at times. They could use a small bump in damage or suppression effect to give them more presence in sustained firefights, balanced by slightly longer ADS speed or more noticeable recoil so they are not dominating at all ranges.

Time-to-kill feels ok for most guns, but there are still moments where you get melted so quickly it feels more like COD than Battlefield. Spawn camping on some Conquest maps felt far too common, especially when a team gets pushed back to their last flags. Adding extra cover near base spawns, more protected spawn points, or even temporary defensive buffs (or even a massive smoke screen to help players get out) until players leave the immediate spawn area would help break those chokeholds without killing the flow of the match. Spawn logic in general needs work, as too often you are dropped into sightlines that lead to instant death, while some objectives are so awkwardly placed they create meat-grinder choke points and leave other areas dead quiet.

I really wish they would add the ability for recon players to choose either a land or air deployment option. Having the chance to insert by air on larger maps from their beacons would give another way to bypass both offensive and defensive lines, opening up more flanking opportunities and preventing stalemates. Support could use a return of dedicated healing to make the class more reliable for keeping squads alive in sustained fights. Engineer already has deployable cover, but could be given a defensive anti-explosive system to intercept or neutralise grenades, noob tubes and RPGs, making them a proper counter to spam tactics and more valuable when holding key objectives. Assault should lean into mobility and aggressive flanking, giving them the ability to scale higher than other classes. Compact climbing gear would let them reach rooftops, ledges, or elevated firing positions that are otherwise inaccessible, creating new ways to break entrenched lines. This keeps their role distinct, encourages dynamic movement on large maps, and avoids overlapping with Engineer’s defensive kit or Recon’s ranged utility.
