They have finally gotten around to a few of the flaws I noticed in my 60ish hours of play. Weapon sounds, ttk are the biggest I'm seeing. Not seeing anything else that isn't cosmetic or aesthetic. Meanwhile it took them literally years to get this far with almost no community feedback despite promises otherwise. I have no faith in the developers of what could otherwise be a pretty good battlefield clone.
The problem is they stumbled on a vibe with Battlebit, it wasn't the gunplay of Battlebit that made it so popular, if they had gone straight for mod support from the beginning I think there would never have been such a crash in player base as a custom server culture would have arisen where different mods would compete for different gameplay balance styles... and the community as a whole could have helped evolve the game. Alone...? I haven't seen much evidence they can do it.
I don't know, I mostly play Operation Harsh Doorstop where the vanilla gameplay is far more realistic, and it is just less frustrating to do everything in the game even though it is less arcadey. I don't get it. Also Operation Harsh Doorstop has mod support with a server browser and the ability to auto download mods from a server that already is implemented thoroughly. Thus even if the devs fuck up the gun balance, the community isn't screwed, mods can proliferate that produce that kind of gameplay the community actually prefers.
It was a vibe for a minute, I'll give them that. I'll look at harsh doorstep.

That is Casualfield the mod that makes the game more like Call Of Duty (more arcadey ttk, a minimap, killcams etc..)

This mod OHD Vehicle Overhaul adds armed vehicles and helicopters.
The nice thing though is again you can just join a server with a mod and OHD will automatically download it so you don't have to worry about getting stuff on the workshop if you just want to jump in. Just pick a server with the type of mod/gameplay description you want and connect.
A community for indie games in the vein of battlefield. Large maps with dispersed objectives that you can utilize vehicles with teammates to gain the upperhand in combined arms battles. Gameplay does NOT have to be exclusively modes with vehicles, it only matters that the game has a mode with vehicles that is a primary part of the game.
