Looking forward to this! Here's my thoughts as a 60% pilot, 40% infantry player this season: - Progression changes were far too pronounced. Early-mid game is the most fun stage of a wipe. The issue was not as much progression as it was end game items being poorly designed in my opinion! (Grenade Launcher, Havoc, T4 Armour, .308 Rifles, Thermals). - Probably went a bit too far with bullet damage reductions. The main issue in my opinion was just .308 rifles and T4 armour. Things can get very spongy now. - I'm happy with T4 armour nerfs. - Gepard seems very well balanced! Good Gepard player seems to hard deny all air except Havoc, but it requires careful positioning due to gun depression. - Parachute nerf was not enough. Need to force them to pull higher and deploy from higher. Lets reward and reinforce the most fun part of the transport gameplay loop (landing). - At end state of season 1, the heli heirachy was Havoc > Rocket >>>>>> Minigun in terms of game impact and profit. Somehow, the minigun heli was nerfed hardest with nerfs to it's damage, health, economy, visibility and visibility, and I THINK bullet convergence, mavourability and windscreen protection too. Meanwhile rocket heli and havoc were mainly just economically nerfed... - Rocket heli and Havoc could be nerfed further to allow a choice between AP and HE rockets - Honestly vaulting the Havoc is not a bad idea, it is probably the least fun to play and least fun to play against asset in the game. Could make it less much less tanky, more manouverable, and add a fun weapon for the gunner like a wire guide ATGM (see Arma 3 Scalpel etc). Would make it less frustrating to play against, and more fun to learn to play! - Could make the smoke trail and warhead glow on the rocket heli rockets more prevalent, but the rockets harder to hit, and ideally take into account heli momentum. Make em harder to hit, but more satisfying? - MAAWS still hilariously OP. I think it needs a velocity nerf, and damage to tank nerf (make the RPG higher dmg, but MAAWS easier shot?) - Tanks should not be dying to mortars. Currently one mortar will mobility hit a tank and its effectively dead. That's a joke. - Spotting is becoming super oppressive again, most games have minimap lit up like a christmas tree. - Fobbit gameplay loop is FAR TOO LUCRATIVE. It is very high reward for ZERO risk. - Drill meta still WAY too strong. I think Mortar nerfs, artillery progression changes, and heli nerfs have counteracted drill nerfs but devs will have data here. - Probably need asset limits within a FOB. 1-2 CWIS, 2 Talon should be fine. - Maybe more rewards for players who play in a "fun" way in general. Currently most pilots are spamming crates, many infantry are spamming spots or swinging hammers, but to me, the game is most fun in a hotzone chasing, or FOB attack and defense way. Maybe rewards for destroying and hacking fobs could be buffed to encourage this? - Potato shadows NEED TO GO or Hardware restrictions NEED to be implemented better. Just my two cents. I'm still having a blast on @WARDOGS, and the team seems to really care about what they've got cooking.
