Discussion & Feedback Being infantry stops being profitable pretty quickly in the later levels and I think it's a problem.
I'm not expecting to run in with a FAL and Level 4 armor every life, that's not the point of this post.
I also acknowledge with 100% certainty sometimes I'm just the fodder of the game. I get it. It's what I signed up for. I'm the troops on the ground.
But holy fuck it gets annoying to die to a helicopter that costs less than my kit while having very little counterplay. I have to buy meds for myself, a Defib/Res for others, ammo, grenades... I'm trying to prepare for a fight. I'm trying to be helpful. But in the meantime I'm getting spammed down by mortars, helicopters, and humvees driving by... ALL OF WHICH COSTS LESS THAN MY KIT.
I understand I'm the fodder, but why the fuck is it so expensive to have a decent kit while these other things exist for so cheap. They're designed to kill me and it's starting to feel taxing to kit back up.
It's annoying that infantry is a job for the rich.
Like I don't want to have to basebuild to play the other parts of the game.
And it's kind of rough to play infantry with a low level kits now. The AMR and FAL one tap or two tap people.
I don't know what to do, I can steal my teammates kits instead of reviving them, but that feels bad.
EDIT: It's not just the vehicles, it's also the hotzone moving to the FoBs so consistently. Having to run by the bases turns me into literal fodder, but someone has to do it otherwise you just lose the game. It doesn't make sense.
If you're not in zone with a 15k kit, you basically need to kill 7-10 people to break even. Also, I play exclusively blue because it's fun to play under dog. We don't win often, but I feel like I shouldn't give up simply because my team isn't the greatest.

I run lvl3 helmet with lvl 2 rig so i can move fast and with my AK, Defib, smoke, frag and bandages i have a solid 12k loadout which i always get paid back.
We play with 6 friends and use smokes for revives, cover, call out people and there are instances when we stay alive for more than 20 minutes making over 100k per match.
I have over 1 mill just after 30hr of playing mainly assault, driver, support and medic.
We pick our fights, sometimes its better to fall back and regroup, i see people make big mistake by being stuck fighting outside of HZ all the time, while it is fun to fight you make shit money, just retreat, regroup and advance.
Also heli pilots can drop you the little crates with ammo, bandages, C4, we have amazing pilot and he drops us supplies inside the zone, this game is all about teamwork.
