Let's talk about the A-10 Warthog IRL: aka "The Angel of DEATH" ... VS .. The Battlefield 4 A-10 aka "BB Gun with Wings"

Never said that the vehicle damage needed to be buffed. Only splash damage for infantry like in BF3... JackFrags, Matimio, levelcap have all done videos on how that the splash damage model needed to be buffed bc it would change the aspect of the Battlefield without making the jets overpowered. It would make them actually useful in OBJECTIVE play and not just stupid Dog fighting and the occasional tank or boat. It could also bring back more or a team play iniative if they would just take out/super nerf the stinger/ilgas and made it where like in BF3, the soflam/jav or soflam/tank with guided shells would be the main took for anti air and to help as back up for other team mate vehicles. In BF3 it was nothing like how it is now... You can barely get a good gunner who just ins't trying to taxi and just bailed even though he might be an engineer and could repair while you battle it out vs another tank. I still do this everyday, but never get any help from the gunner in my tank barely ever, I NEVER see a soflam set up anymore, and the sad part is that all those useless camping recons are stitting up there with their PLD's but instead of holding that lock for like 5 seconds they are too busy iusing it as their own personal thermal spotting bino's... I seriously bet that half those crap camping recons actually think the PLD is for heping them see a target to snipe instead of laser designation...

EA/DICE could have fixed the teamplay initiative by nerfing the auto lock anti air, buffing jets vs infantry (boosting splash damage) and if they would hjave fixed the Attack heli's sooner. The reason I say this is why it worked in BF3. Jets would target those camping snipers and so would the attack helis. But since the jets cant kill those snipers and other infantry and the attack heli is a flying brick (they fixed it now though little too late imo) , then they have no reason to laser designate for their team and especially squad mates. I dont know if that makes sense bc I am typing this half asleep but innBF3 squads would get tired of those damn tanks helis and jets and we would talk more on console too and solflam/javelin the hell out of the enemy team... it would open the door up for strategy and this more solo 1v1 aspect that bf4 has gone into... Tank vs tank.. lav vs lav, scout vs scout, attack vs attack... no team ups or nothing.. no communication on console.. Its just something as sinmple as buffing jets against ifantry and nerfing auto lock weapons so ppl would have to use tewam work that changes the entire aspect of what BF4 has become... More ppl would use jets too instead of 24/7 proffesionall dogfighters who just like to beat up on nobs trying to learn.. whatever thoguh. Done talking about the subject.. Im just gonna play hardline and try out the new heist mode and the new competitive modes to see if teamplay is different.
