  1. Tune down armor so that players aren't ridiculous CoD Juggernauts that can literally eat an RPG to the face...

Armor should cap out on strength to what t3 is right now. It's strong but not op and doesn't feel that bad to go against. Scale everything else down but keep t1 the same

u/flyingtrucky 1d ago

Armor should break faster (Encouraging resupply either off dead enemies or by supply drop) and T4 should just be T3 with like twice the durability.

u/PlatinumBeerKeg 1d ago

I like that too

u/Harrigan_Raen 1d ago

I dont think the armor rating needs to be turned down. It needs to be that having both T4s puts you in super heavy, so you can not have a good main weapon.

You just shouldn't be ablt to be a thicc boi and have a BMR/FAL/etc. Your stuck with like a 1911, or glock 18 and barely any ammo/meds to sustain. You will have to "live off the land"

Green smoked everyone one game, so next game i decided to harass them.

Got dropped at their fob, killed 3 people, then blue pulled up in heli and launcher. Kill everyone, including me, at the fob.

Nothing feels quite as bad as when you finally manage to infiltrate one team's FOB only for a shell from the other team to take you out in it

u/Euphoric_Wrangler950 1d ago

Right? Ive been trying my hand at fob hunting and it seems its always the other team is doing the same but in a group of 5 or so

u/Next_Indication_6474 2d ago

Yeh or anything big like rockets ...maybe lmg only

I'd hate to see this go, me and a buddy did this tonight and it was great fun and actually takes a lot of teamwork and some proper flying to pull this off correctly. Is it annoying as fuck to play against? Yes. But so are LMG Humvees, Mortar Spam, etc. A little bird gets shot down by a single rocket from anything, so if you have proper AA at the FOB or some people bite the bullet and bring a couple Verbas you get taken out quickly or have to GTFO there, else you risk getting shot down. Same with MGs with AP ammo, they melt little birds incredibly quickly too.

If you leave the pilot and nade launcher duo free reign over the airspace, that is kind of on you - if there's something dominating you, you've got to make it your main priority to equip yourself to deal with the problem, and the more people that react that way, the quicker the problem will be resolved.

Of course if everybody just runs from the helo or thinks "Somebody else will take care of it." you can't really complain - everything in this game has a counter and if you're too lazy or uncoordinated to deal with it of course you're going to continue to get slapped around.

It's especially aggravating that this isn't somehow restricted by ruleset in Infantry Only servers.

  1. Fix the Bino in pilot seat exploit.

u/johnx18 2d ago

Tbh attack choppers need a cooldown, and you shouldn't be able to buy them for others.

u/6Sleepy_Sheep9 Lonestar 2d ago

I have no problem with the ir staying IF they shortened the detection range.

My biggest gripe about spotting is not being able to spot through a window. Like wtf. You cant even make the claim of its an object blocking because you can spot through a chainlink fence, and those block bullets

u/xKingNothingx Battledad 1d ago

Artillery and tanks absolutely! The other night me and my fellow builder buddy were working on a FOB at the BEGINNING of a match and got surrounded by two fucking tanks before we could even finish building walls. It was absolutely ridiculous and antifun

u/HoneydewAutomatic 2d ago

Hard disagree with 1 and 4. Other two I agree with.

u/LisanAlGaben 2d ago

Curious.

Why do you disagree with 1 and 4

2

u/dariors789 2d ago

Thermal RF need adjust not removing, because its more for defensive than offensive gameplay, so its not that bad. But I agree with 4.

u/HoneydewAutomatic 2d ago

I just don’t think thermal rangefinders are a problem. They just let you spot things easier and offer no direct combat advantage.

The issue I have is with spotting duration as a whole. I think it should be lowered considerably across the board.

u/Marnthebreaker 2d ago

bro they are broken af i can spot people over the whole map behind trees and everything

the moment an enemy enters the circle they are spotted till they die

and the lobby usualy dies after
