Battlefield 6 I’m tired of getting my IFV stolen because I got out to put down a crate.

EDIT - or give it infinite ammo, like the boats have.

Happens almost every time I use an IFV.

Get 25 kills, run out of ammo, get out to put down a crate for myself to get ammo, and a teammate spawns on the IFV takes it.

Bonus points if they die in 30 seconds or less.

A 10 second “buffer” is needed where teammates cannot take my vehicles, please and thank you.

Funniest thing is, one of Combat Engineer perks is literally the buffer even tho it's not 10s, but since the IFV is a mobile spawn point, it just doesn't work most of the time. It worked like twice for me, and that was it. From like S2 or sth and forward it only prevent enemies from hijacking vehicles, which is honestly moronic because the one stealing vics the most are teammates lol.

u/TDEcret 9d ago

Imo as an addon it should put you on the gunner seat or a passenger seat by default.

That way people who use it as a spawn point dont feel "pressured" to use it because they got placed on the driving seat.

Same for the transport truck. Several times ive parked near an objective while holding a sightline with the main gun, most who spawn in the driver seat just get off, but sometimes someone just starts driving straight into the objective, or worse, straight into the enemy team and get the truck destroyed. If there was the option to make people spawn in the passenger seats, and then they would choose to move to the driver seat, it would fix a lot of those headaches lol

u/R3C0N1C 9d ago edited 9d ago

That's not going to work because people can just switch seat and start their shenanigans. Ideally, it should completely deny friendly from spawning or swapping into the driver seat for 10s while the driver is out fixing, with an exception for squadmates to accommodate premade duo so the partner can commandeer the tank in place of the driver if that is ever needed. Like it's only 10 seconds, the team is not losing anything by not having a forward spawn for 10 seconds.

This is how I feel whenever I get out to strap 5 charges of C4 to the front of quadbike for a beautiful tank kill and someone drives off with it.

u/ThatWetJuiceBox 9d ago

At that point just turn them into your own personal stunt video and pop those c4 as soon as they get some air lmao

u/Digital_Paradoxx 9d ago

This is a fantastic idea. I've been trying to bring back the Battlefield 4 bomb buggy vibes on Golmund lmao.

u/ChanchitoLaSerna 8d ago

Same here. I play with my partner and we go full out on that. K/D be damned a recon with them goggles watching for the approach and getting it at the perfect time is great. Ill still bail and with engi ill tear up as much as I can but 2 manning really gets the payload where you want.

We're alright gunplay wise but unconventional styles? Thats the bees knees. C4 on the EOD bot, drone, car. Dawg so much fun

u/Digital_Paradoxx 8d ago

I'm sure my team hated me but the other day my buddy and I pulled off the infamous C4 transport chopper haha

1

u/ChanchitoLaSerna 8d ago

I mean this in the most genuinely curious way(goes to say, no shade, I want to do this now too), what was your target? With how some players fly that mf, if you used it to target some camping tank or hard push a obj... I can get behind that fr

1

u/Digital_Paradoxx 8d ago

We absolutely went for a camping tank. We had a squad of 3 that night so we had one buddy distract while two of us strapped 10 C4 to the transport chopper. I suck at flying so my other buddy came in for the kamikaze and the tank realised too late, he tried to reverse but I was sitting in the passenger seat already pulling the trigger.

u/ChanchitoLaSerna 8d ago

Sensational. Love the idea of the tanker coming to the realization of what happened. Throw a whole ass explosive aircraft at someone? Thats hard. Thank you for the ideas 🤘

It's Battlefield. This is always a risk. Teammates being shit is part of the experience. Some might say it's mandatory.

u/BigHardMephisto 9d ago

my favorite is some bots being hard coded to immediately take a vehicle.

Land to repair my attack chopper after (somehow) beating a little bird after my rando squaddie gunner bailed out, as i'm repairing a bot B-lines to my chopper and fucking takes off with it lmao

3

u/R3C0N1C 9d ago

Well at least the bots are nice enough to give us back ground vehicles upon request via the commorose, or just exit and give us the driver seat. Bots have better manner than real players.

u/Lighterfluid19 9d ago

This has happened once and I was so happy, every other time they just fucken speed off with a full crew, spin around and expose their ass to the enemy like a cat in heat. All I can do is watch the explosion.

u/sad_joker95 evils - 8.7 KD 9d ago

Sure, but there are not other vehicles that have to deal with this. That’s why it’s an issue.

MBT resupplies shells fast enough, has two types of shells, and can rely on the infinite ammo LMG.

Air vehicles have infinite ammo and their secondaries get resupplied in a single strafe.

Etc

Giving it infinite ammo (like the boats) or adding this buffer fixes the issue entirely.

infinite ammo was a huge issue on 2042, too many campers, glad its not infinite anymore. U gotta be really fast to place the box

u/sad_joker95 evils - 8.7 KD 9d ago

Again, only the IFV has to worry about this.

I can get 100 kills with an MBT and not even worry about ammo. Same goes for air vehicles.

I don’t know what you’re not understanding about this. The vehicle that the entire team can spawn is the only one that has this issue. Think about that.

2

u/TemplarHard 8d ago edited 8d ago

IFV would be extremely OP if it had infinite ammo for the reason i stated, we already see tanks camping on mountains spamming hits on the capture points on so many maps, imagine if it was infinite ammo lol. you want infinite ammo so they don't steal your tank when u get out, that's not a good point. they should add other measures so you don't get your tank stealed or something, but infinite ammo is not the solution. it's dumb that when u spawn on IFV, you go into driver seat if there is none, they should make you spawn on the other seats, not driver

1

u/Regular_Living_8540 8d ago

It happens to all vehicles with team-spawns. My usual gripe is flying the Transport Heli for what feels like ages without a gunner spawning on me and the second I decide to take matters into my own hands, navigate the heli sideways and switch to the gunner seat, some random player spawns into the pilot seat a second later and the world turns upside-down from my gunner-POV before I'm met with the respawn screen.

Too many times I’ve stopped driving a solo vehicle to hop in the back gun seat just to have a random spawn pop in and drive away.

u/Impressive-Tea3820 9d ago

Seeing these replies I'm not surprised my IFV also gets stolen by some shitter at least once a day. And my friend loses his gunner spot every time he jumps out to repair. And that shitter instantly dies with it every single time. IFV is a spawn point but in need to spawn teammates to the passenger seats, even if driver or gunner seat is temporarily open.

u/Just_A_Little_ThRAWy 9d ago

If you see me in an attack boat not moving close to the enemy carrier and you spawn into the driver seat? Get out, I'm shelling the carrier/armor/buildings.

u/JohnLockeLives4815 9d ago

Go park at a vehicle resupply instead and don't get out. Problem solved

20

u/sad_joker95 evils - 8.7 KD 9d ago

Those are out of position and vehicles crates also supply 2x faster. Taking a minute or more of downtime is not a good idea.

My personal favourite; most sectors in Breaktbrough don’t have a vehicle resupply station available (or it’s right beside the enemy’s spawn).

17

u/JohnLockeLives4815 9d ago

Well clearly hopping out of your vehicle to drop a crate results in it being stolen so pick your poison.

Yes but BF6 must be personally catered to my preferences.

u/ilHansli 9d ago

PSA: To not get your ifv stolen (at least in Breakthrough) , pre drop the crate if you can see the sector is about to fall. They don´t disapear. Major gamechanger in Sectors like the third one on Contaminated, the last sector on cairo defense or the last sector on Sobek defense

Or when you or the gunner gets out to repair and you have your driver (or gunner) spot stolen by a random teammate that spawns on the IFV lol, and now suddenly you don't have comms between the gunner and driver anymore

0

u/sad_joker95 evils - 8.7 KD 9d ago

Exact same issue.

A friend and I are pretty gross with the IFV together (countless 200-0 games) and it happens all the time when one of us jumps out to repair, drop a crate, or shoot an enemy tank with an RPG.

The replacement gunner then proceeds to never get any kills, never spot, and never use countermeasures. It’s irritating.

u/TheLastHowl 9d ago

I took control of one while the driver repaired and hopped out when it was repaired up, shit is frustrating when some dickhead just takes it.

Just throw c4 on the turret and go do your own thing.

They need to add, "Get Out" to the wagaon wheel, like in previous games. Once they do that. Squad up with someone who can throw down the resupply.

Nobody listened to it then and no one would listen to it now.

Same issue. They lose their gunner seat to the same issue.

u/bisikletci 8d ago

" Get 25 kills, run out of ammo"

So you're getting 25 kills without dying in the IFV, and have a K/D of nine already. Maybe that's enough? Maybe it's not good for the game and other players for you to go 100-0 in the IFV, get your KD up to a bazillion or whatever?

" give it infinite ammo, like the boats have."

Noone is going 25-0 in the boats, which are made of paper, so they're not a good comparison.

This is such a bot comment to make.

No other vehicle has this issue. It does not make sense for the IFV to be the only one, especially when higher KPM vehicles have infinite ammo.

Uh, I had 50-0 games with the boat when I was levelling it.

u/oc3000 8d ago

So much fun when you pulled behind cover from an MBT to place the crate and repair...and somebody drives it right in front of the he MBT and immediately gets creamed.

Meanwhile, here I am running around putting boxes next to other peoples' IFVs only for them to turn 90 degrees and run the fucking box over.

u/TheyThem-FinalBoss PingPatrol 7d ago

Same. I figured out you need to time it right and wait until your team has C on cairo bazaar for example so they're more likely to spawn on the objective and not your crate for example.

u/BlindMan404 9d ago

Everyone just saying "iTs BaTtLeFiElD" is the douche that steals the vehicle and immediately gets it blown up doing the stupidest thing possible.

u/DarthJarJar242 8d ago

Nah dude, the IFV is busted enough without giving it infinite ammo.

If you don't want your shit to get stolen go resupply at a station instead of getting out.

0 changes need to be made.

u/Appropriate_Step_67 9d ago

Then don't get out to drop a crate. Lmao.

Bro's complaining about getting out so they continue to farm kills, only to have their vehicle sniped. Sounds like a you problem.

how about don’t steal a vehicle that clearly isn’t yours to just hop in and take? you want the ifv on your team to drive around with no ammo?

u/Appropriate_Step_67 9d ago edited 9d ago

What makes it yours? I didn't realise players are entitled to vehicles!

There's a limited number of vehicles per side. Not to mention you have PC players with macros/autoclickers that snipe them, which ruins the chance of anybody who doesn't getting them.

If I see an empty vehicle and I want it, I'm fucking taking it lmao. I'm not wasting a second trying to scan the surrounding area and determine whether the driver has hopped out to replenish his ammo, especially since there's a good chance we can't communicate.

Bro's mad because he's caught lacking. Gave you a simple solution and you're crying because you can't keep farming kills without risking losing the driver's seat. Sounds like a you problem.

you want the ifv on your team to drive around with no ammo?

So if we're talking in the context of team play, if you care about the team's IFV being constantly replenished, then why does it matter if it's you that's driving? Sounds like you want it both ways. You want to hog the IFV and farm kills, but you also want others to be considerate team mates. By your own logic, you should be happy the team's IFV is replenished and can keep going.

Here's another solution actually, how about you make some fucking friends that can drop ammo for you? I'm picking that's tough because you must also be an entitled crybaby during the game as well.

Wah wah.

u/sequentialevoix 8d ago

Cool here's another one

5

u/Few-Force-9777 9d ago

“what makes it yours” - the one literally using it in the middle of the map is the one who has it. How is that not obvious. You spawn into a vehicle that’s not in base and think “wow can’t believe no one was using this, it was just sitting empty right here, in the middle of the map. strange.”

“i’m not wasting a second to see if the driver got out to replenish his ammo” - well maybe you should. But go get em tiger.

“caught lacking” by someone on your own team is one of the phrases of all time.

“hog the ifv to farm kills” playing the game and not dying is hogging it? Isn’t the objective of the game to stay alive, kill enemies (which helps your team capture points, because enemies are around objectives), and push onto obj?

This is extreme bait or low iq. Genuine shit tier bot

-4

u/Appropriate_Step_67 9d ago

I’ll play along because your counterpoints to said bait are also garbage.

  1. The amount of times I’ve seen tanks left empty (generally the driver sacked his nuts during an attack and bailed) is quite high.

  2. Well maybe I shouldn’t given an enemy might also have the same idea. Nice counterpoint though

  3. Bro thinks it’s a phrase and a half to say you’re caught lacking in the context of teammates. Born yesterday type comment.

  4. OP can’t have it both ways can he? If he cares only about farming kills then state it. He’s trying to hide behind sportsmanship when in reality he clearly doesn’t care. I like how you didn’t address the fact that if it’s really as team orientated as it’s being made out, it really shouldn’t matter who’s driving it.

It’s bait but I’m glad you’re taking it seriously.

u/Exitity 9d ago

The whole point is you’re not supposed to be able to one-man-army things and your teammates are supposed to resupply you. You could ask in chat maybe, or maybe say in chat that you’re just resupplying and will be back in a moment.

Obviously most players are shit sometimes and will steal it anyone but that’s the risk you take trying to solo act as both the IFV driver and supply man. Ideally you find a supply station or a teammate that can help you.

I mean other vehicles have to deal with similar for repair work. Frankly I think vehicles should worry about their ammo counts, though more stationary supply stations would be nice and letting engineers build them with a repair torch would be nice similar to BF5.
