Some minor gripes with the vehicles in SF

[puglous]

I can't say EA mislead us or anything, and I think they did a better job with balance this time around, but there are some minor gripes about the vehicles which I want to get off my chest. Yeah, I know, it's infantry focused, but if you're gonna put 10 new vehicles in the game, you might aswell justify their presence. Most of them either seem cloned, inbred, or just misplaced.

First off, the technicals are EXACTLY like the buggies except that they look different. At first I thought they added them for the insurgent groups (since they would have less access to real military equipment) but all factions seem to use these. Instead, why not give buggies to the military forces (SEALS, SAS, SPETZ, and MEC) and technicals to the rebel groups (Middle Eastern and Russian insurgents)?

Second, what's with the new Russian vehicle? It has the armor of and storage of an APC, but weapons of a tank. Instead of combining two already existing vehicles, why not make something new and exciting?

The forklift is basically the same as the ATV, except it makes this horrible noise when you drive it (realistic perhaps, but still disturbing in a "horror movie" kind of way). I was kind of hoping to be able to operate the fork part too.

I dont know if anybody else has noticed but if you touch a vehicle thats barley moving it will kill you now. I tried to move between a wall and car today and it killed me.

well I kind of agree about some things but for the most part the vehicles are fine the russian BMP is as accurate as it can be for BF there's no cloning to it the russians really do have vehicles like that considering the russian philosophy on warfare is to have the infantry ride in armored vehicles to the battle zone and then dismount for action

the thing i hate it the way the jetskis drive they handle like the vehicles in joint ops which to me is just aweful other than that I just wish 2 people could get on the ATV

The forklift was a neat addition, but I agree it should have a moveable fork, so you could lift people up on to roofs and stuff
When I first saw the forklift, I didn't think it was driveable, then I got in it, took off, and creamed my pants.

The russian BMP is real.... they use them all the time... they are however a pile of crap though in RL....

Id rather walk a battlefield than get a lift in one of those bullet magnets. You can practicaly shoot them to sh*t with a decent rifle.
