BF4 Thoughts

Well, after playing for almost a 100 hours, and with the patches released (notwithstanding the usual connection errors/crashes), here are my thoughts on some improvements the game can have :
 
TANKS :  Oh gawd, make the tank more resilient against infantry and light vehicles please, right now I feel like I'm driving a fragile plastic box around! Increase the number of rounds the primary weapon can fire... and what's up with the reload time? And the APS is basically useless!
 
I SAY : Give the tank an LMG as a default, so it has 3 weapons; the primary, secondary and the LMG (Not everyone can find a gunner in every match you know). Increase the armor rating OR make the reactive armor work! Everything seems to disable a tank now. Remove the reload time but give a fixed number of shells! That'll make people treasure the rounds rather than spamming them.
 
IFV's : Nothing much to say here! They seem to fare better than the MBT's.
 
JETS : After painful leveling of a stealth jet, and then going into conquest, I see no difference between an attack jet and a stealth jet
 
I SAY : Make the attack jets less nimble than they are now; they are supposed to take out ground targets after all, but can out-maneuver a stealth jet! Increase their armor though. And for stealth jets for cryin out loud, why is stealth-coating an unlock? To make a stealthier stealth jet? Make it a default! The 30mm cannon speed is about there so that's ok.
 
Player classes - Mostly ok with this, but giving the Recon C4 just kinda makes it annoying... right, cos in BF3 the support guy was blowing tanks right off the bat so make that the last unlock in BF4 great idea (sarcasm), and now the recon guy does that... great job dice. Keep the Claymore though.
 
Well, getting a bit tired of the game already, it seems more draggy than BF3, and the gameplay at this moment is not very consistent. Plus, there are a ton of hackers out there (no ones gonna admit it), but it's not something DICE or EA are interested in at this moment till they actually fix the issues that are plaguing this game.

  1. Agreed - APS is so useless ! Reactive armor also useless... i think EA just has to stop allowing C4 to destroy a tank.. IFVs are great.. fast but again weak armor. Haha good call on the Stealth Jet.. yeah why make stealth-coating an unlock when it's supposed to be a Stealth Jet in the first place !! Yeah.. totally agree.. sick of TDM but still ok with Domination. I don't really like Obliteration.. it's too much like COD.. hell, BF4 is becoming alot like COD... I think that was EA's strategy.. to make COD players switch camps over to BF. Hence we get all those wankers who use hacks.
