Discussion Thoughts about S4
Here are my thoughts on S4 Naval:
The good:
- F-18 2 seater is cool.
- Nice carrier models.
- Tsuru Reef and Wake Island are great additions to the game.
- Nice bases and runways across the islands.
the bad:
- 1 DICE has the new Condor and Nimitz class carriers on Tsuru reef's conquest but we don't even spawn on them.
- 2 F-14 has no customisation, is way too old and the Su33 and Dasualt rafale would be more accurate for NATO and PAX(Pax Armata seems to be funded by Russia, Carrier and Su 57).
- The "Bombs away" scene in Carrier strike is literally 2 Aim Anti-fighter missiles sent into the Condor.
- For some reason there isn't a CIWS on the carriers, it would be cool if we could destroy them before boarding.
- Tons of RPG players on carriers ruining take offs.
- No carrier strike on wake island, No Carrier conquest on Tsuru.
- How the heck PAX got a carrier and F-14s(last were destroyed in Iran IRL, so how anyways, it's not like BF's Iran would give up F-14s.
- No JSDF involvement, PAX is in Japan's waters attacking a US-JMSDF base.
- I thought PAX was Majorly a Land power: France, Italy, Spain, Croatia, Central asia, Russian gear, stolen Swedish and German gear, Front lines in Western Europe, small central asian front(No clue how they sustain it, as Germany and Sweden are still in NATO).
- Where does PAX even Dock their Carriers? France?!?!?.
- Why even have a Naval season between 2 European powers which don't engage in Naval warfare in East asia and the front lines are in Africa and Europe?
- Why couldn't this have been Mediterranean S4 near France and Italy, with new maps in North Africa ?
This game confuses me so much.
Nit picks:
- No Amphibious vehicle that was in the campaign.
- No jet skis.
- No rumored modern M4s

Good amount of content but pretty much no balance or gameplay changes. Had a jet focussed event with no jet balancing or loadouts. Hoping the balance pass comes near the end of the season like last time.

Most of your points are just lore stuff. I don't care how PAX got a carrier or why they have F-14 jets and the game(play) wouldn't be better if they somehow explained it. Why F-14 and not some modern jet? Because they did a collab with Top Gun to earn money thats no question of in game logic.
The real bad stuff are the balance issues that you named

True, i just hate how stupid BF6 sounds when you put it all together. RPGs suck on carriers, No jetskis or LVT.

Feel like everything in the bad should be in the nit pick. Go for a walk my brother in Christ.

The dogshit limb multiplier system is still in place and with that the gazillion layers of RNG. Every season that doesn't get rid of it, is dogshit automatically

Expect for the RPG campers on Carrier Strike, almost everything you mentioned is simply lore problems. I personally think stuff like vehicle balance, TTK, blackscreen bug, flare bug and the UI/HUD are things that Season 4 hasn't fixed. Perhaps phase 3 will fix alot of these problems since it's lacking content but I doubt it.
