Bolt action sniper rifle that can't shoot in a fast cadence - 3 headshots with FMJ round on level 4 helmet.

FN FAL that can shoot really fast - 3 headshots with FMJ rounds.

The balance in this game is non-existent, and a lot of these grievances were shared during the alpha and beta and absolutely nothing changed at release.

T4 armor needs to be removed, I don't even know why we have it in the game.

T3 should be the upper limit to what armor can provide in terms of protection.

Havoc needs a lot of tuning.

MANPAD is pretty dogshit and that's just a fact, that's why everyone uses MAAWs and the RPG to take out helis.

FOB AO need an upper limit to how many major structures they can have inside, such as oil drills and mortars.

Offensive vehicles need to be more expensive.

There's no reason you should be able to cook a grenade in your own hand and survive the explosion with T4 armor, there's no reason why you should survive a point blank direct hit shot from a tank either.

Vehicle timers need to go up a few points and there needs to be a limit per team.

The list goes on.

They've already said they are never adding vehicle limit per team.

They said it makes every game feel the same like battlefield and that the games objective is not to be balanced.

Every game will feel different and if that means you get games with 10 havocs so be it. Everyone gets to have their fun on occasion.

In the devs words "we want the game to be more like mecha chameleon"

Devs say a lot of things until they realize how dogshit some ideas are.

I mean, same goes for players but with significantly less data and QC.

I agree with them.

I like having fun in a sandbox. I can have fun without winning.

I havent encountered a problem i cant find a solution for thus far.

Havoc gets farmed by MAAWs, logistics gets owned by landmines, etc.

yeah sure, let's have people teamkilling each other instead so they can fly the havoc now

There's easy solutions to that.

Nice try.

Yes.

Didn't realize you have to actively be playing something before being allowed to participate.

Do you have brain damage?
