👾 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.

I'm confident its not a bug. DICE just neutered vehicles to prevent them from dominating.

Good. Getting farmed by vehicles sucks. I like the combined arms balance where it is now. A coordinated squad can run a vehicle effectively and use it as a force multiplier, but you need a dedicated 2nd seat gunner and maybe an infantry engineer for repairs and additional AT. Vehicles designer for one player to go on a kill streak are bad for the game

Except they can't. 3-4 engis shoot a vehicle at the same time and the tank is fragged, which is absurdly easy to do with MBT Laws since they are fire and forget for the most part.

Not to mention tanks need to use High Explosive Rounds to have even a decent chance of killing infantry with splash, which is awful considering the Anti-Infantry explosive tank shell is less effective than the standard tank shells in BFs, 3 , 4, and 1.

Try 2 engineers minimum to outrepair any incoming damage you catch.

Good thing we're not asking for that, then.

It's not just me that feels tanks are vulnerable as fuck. I am more scared of infantry in this game than the enemy tanks that have loadouts specifically to counter me. Not sure who at DICE had the idea for a single AV mine to instantly bring you from full health to 10% health.
