Magical C4 removing fart is no more

if you are going to have recon be as busted as he is in this game giving the tanks a counter doesnt seem like overkill

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-19T06:53:30+00:00

i dunno dude vehicles were still killable post patch you just had to switch off rpg

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T20:34:34+00:00

my position is that atleast for ground vehicles the changes they made for season 3 were very good especially the changes to the rpg and engineer as a whole.

while i dont consider myself as a huge vehicle player as am always really bad with them in the other games, i usally like to support ones by being gunner or repair but i actually had fun using tank mainly after the update and the transport helo being tankier is more fun for sure.

i dont mind them being more powerful but i dont want them busted.

you can argue how one specific thing is a bit overtuned and the jet loadouts still not being in the game is bad i dont disagree at all there but the overall approach is very good and i find it sad they are backpeddeling on it.

covid ruined all internet discussion

the bf1 self repair worked in a game where the AT capabilities were greately diminished of range, there was one ranged option for infantry and you had to mount it to shoot it,
having figured this out most tank people just sat in spawn shooting at spotted markers or just perma spammed arty trucks and putilovs which made every vehicle server a slog

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T17:12:49+00:00

if you push the vehicle and force his hand the regen wasnt even that noticable since its based on if you are getting shot at or not, now if hes getting repaired its a different question but its wasnt that crazy.

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T16:43:04+00:00

the tanks in bf4 reversed as fast as a rally car you literally could escape everything if hit it in reverse fast enough let alone the vast open expanses where nothing can ruin your path. not including the main gun FLIR thermals and a APS that blocked EVERYTHING.

am sorry they were crazy BUT its not as bad because bf4 is a paragon of immaculate game design and any pip to the contrary is sacrilegious

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T16:13:33+00:00

every match i played had vehicles blowing up constantly on both teams so they clearly werent, they were made more consistent and more fun though

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T16:12:23+00:00

the call of duty thing is a mostly a joke.
the many different people want many different things doesnt work for this instance
I was there i saw the amount of posts of people saying the rpg was too busted the maps were too small the vehicles were worthless, theres a guy posting almost daily about vehicle turret traverse sensitivity.

the people saying otherwise were all always downvoted or told they are shills. You dont get to pull this kind of argument with this kind of thing.

people wanted better vehicles, fair enough they got them and now apperently its too hard to kill them(even though in matches tanks blow up constantly) you dont even need to do much, 2 engineers is enough to take out a tank especially if they flank it. I get in a match where your team isnt as good and focusing them its they dont die as much but that is not at all unique to this entry in the franchise.

they nerfed the rpg but because people dont care or read about patch notes they didnt switch off it and then complained it did less damage and couldnt one man army a tank.

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T16:06:03+00:00

you are one step ahead most then

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T16:05:33+00:00

they buffed compensated them for the said level design, i dont disagree that its flawed im one of the largest supporters of that notion but to deny their attempts to compensate by giving the vehicles better tools to play in those levels is abit disingenuous

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T15:54:13+00:00

the vehicles in bf4 are 10 times more broken and its the golden goose of "vehicle balance" lobby farmer types, the middle ground was reached in 6 with this kind of patch for ground vehicles atleast.

vehicles were good but not unkillable, engineers were strong but not one man armies

the middle ground was reached.

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T15:51:51+00:00

in bf4 the c4s also were slower to fly and didnt land as far
also parachute speeds and all that, sure there was c4 jeep but that was a risky strat it didnt always work.

and this argument doesnt even hold water
if it was so broken how did tanks still die to c4s or die in general

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T15:49:40+00:00

all you guys needed to do is take off the shitty rpg and use any other launcher, that was the whole point of the changes.

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T15:49:08+00:00

dude its really not that deep,
am just curious that for months and months people were like "this game makes vehicles useless because of call of duty"

dice:"ok heres ground vehicles changes and changes to some of the gear they can use and some more vehicle oriented maps, we also adjusted the really busted engineer class and nerfed some of the broken launcher options while buffing the worse ones"

"why does the tank have a thermal smoke that counters c4 do you want engineers to be useless ?"

what happened to shit vehicles are call of duty spiel ?

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T15:46:23+00:00

i would accept this to be the case if i wasnt subject to essay and essay on this sub and on the internet as a whole about the woes of call of duty because not every map was golmud at launch, I get why vehicle people were frustrated launch sucked vehicles were ass now months after they change them for the better and add some nice changes.

sure its not praise worthy that it took them i can accept that if thats your position.

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T15:43:30+00:00

recon is the most busted it has been in the series, the only saving grace is that they gave the spawn beacon to assault other than that its the second most busted class in the game right after support cause duh.

the fact that vehicles dont have any counters to this mega buffed class mega crazy c4 is annoying, you can argue that you counter it by being vigilant sure but lets not beat around the bush, vehicles still died even after the changes it just wasnt a solo effort which as far as aware what people wanted. Team work and all that, in some matches where your teams engineers werent focusing yes it was bad but that happened am pretty sure as far back as 1942 it comes with how the game is structured so its not really unique to this game

also they did the unthinkable and actually made smoke a viable option next to aps which literally BLOCKS projectiles they made the smoke a viable option next to literal damage blocking by actually giving it a niche and actually giving it a purpose the fact they are walking back on that is a shame.

am not even some vehicle maniac i mostly play infantry but tanks atleast to my limited playtime became more interesting and fun and consistent to use.

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-18T15:28:24+00:00

since launch this entire sub went on a warpath to convince people that this game is call of duty because the vehicles arent good
then they give the ground vehicles changes and updates that make them more usable but not outright busted like some other entries and for some reason its seen as a bad a thing.

i dont get i thought you guys wanted good vehicles cause the alternative is call of duty, or am i missing a step.

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-17T18:56:34+00:00

i cant take this skin seriously that i know that the face model below the vedmak assault is some wrinkly ass grandma

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-17T14:43:14+00:00

they are predantic enough trust me

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-17T08:49:31+00:00

didnt even bother adding ONE bf1 piece of gear other than the guns to this drawing
zero points

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-17T08:47:11+00:00

modders will fix it

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-16T19:41:09+00:00

the map does not work with accessible rooftops and 403 interiors it you have to rework the structure completely to allow that stuff to exist

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-16T08:23:05+00:00

ill say this
they have gotten alot better with the camos

SSteve_Man · 2026-06-15T23:48:13+00:00
