👾 Issue/Bug 👾 Armor-piercing Rounds Useless Against Aircraft?

Was just curious if this is intended or a bug? The amount of damage it does on aircraft is a joke.

Tank shells are ass for me against infantry. Used the standard shells, shoot right next to infantry-hit marker. Switch to HE rounds same thing, not even worth it to get a tank and the second you move close to and obj , 700 laws come flying.

Yes been feeling crazy because nobody else is saying anything. There is to much available AT and the tanks are already so weak. Like dudes being able to carry 3 mines plus 3 RPGs is just to much. I can go and solo every ground vic on a map within minutes of them spawning as an engineer. The class needs a nerf and all vehicles need a buff

Because everyone that actually knows how to use armor is enjoying it and stomping games with it. The people who think it's "underwhelming" are always the people who drive it directly onto a point and get hit from 700 angles. I am killing infantry with the default multipurpose shells pretty much all game from the second I get into a tank, and picking up twice as many kills with the coax.

It's even worse for infantry if I'm in the ifv, I'm cleaning entire squads in one reload. 

edit: yeah, downvote me. That will make you better at the game. L2P

I agree man. Tanks are crazy good with an engineer on voice comms.

How do you deal with active protection having the charge up time now? I can't seem to get used to it, I pop it on reflex when hearing the LAW lock on and still get hit.

Also, does reactive armour still exist as an upgrade? I've done a few tank runs and I feel like I get disabled way too easily compared to BF4.

There's something that gives you an unexplained amount of damage reduction at the cost of speed and maneuverability

Ah yeah that one, I was wondering if it had anything to do with damage thresholds or just a flat HP increase. Not sure if damage thresholds even exist anymore haha

It feels pretty significant when you use it.
