The APC has no place in solo matches

[leviathan105]

I get the need to evolve the game in order to keep it interesting for the player base and in to do that some leaps have to be made, but I don't agree with incorporating the APC into solo. It just has too much armor and it realistically takes multiple players to bring it down. In squad or duo matches this would be far more doable with that combined firepower over iterations of multiple teams coming into contact with an armored vehicle, but in solo it's a death sentence to everyone who tries to take it down.
This is for a couple of reasons:
1. It's just the nature of solo that when a firefight is occurring that other nearby players will capitalize on the fight and try to take out at least one of the participants. In the case of an APC and a player in the open, the choice is clear for the 3rd party on who to engage.
2. Due to the bullet proof nature of the windows of the APC it doesn't matter if you try to engage the enemy player when they're inside or out, they simply can't be hit and can engage you at will or simply move on to a less active area.
I'm not a fan of adding in armored vehicles into a shooter like PUBG in the first place, but I can see how it would add an interesting dynamic of risk and threat into duo and squad matches. In solo however it's just plain OP and lately it's been massively skewing the results of those matches in favor of either the driver or whoever capitalized on the other players trying to take it down so that a single player in an APC doesn't make it to the end by just parking in the middle of the circle and engaging at will.

I clearly agree with you. the ARmored vehicle get rekt in squad even DUo. But in solo, it kind of sucks, i never met the thing in solo since i pla mostly duo or duosquad.

The BRDM is one of the best updates BH ever brought to the game and it seems to be balanced very well. As any other vehicle, driving it to the circle is rather easy in Solo, dangerous in Duo and pretty much a coin flip for death sentence in Squads.

It´s hardly useful in Squads, cause it will explode very soon when a full squad is nearby,...
but let´s stay at Solo mode here: It has the right amount of hp to provide safety for whoever is inside, but clearly not enough hp to make it op. You mentioned how it is a death sentence for anyone who tries to take it down - well, in some way it might be. You should not attack a BRDM and forget what is around you,...so don´t go for it like a brainless maniac. If you have good cover you can shoot it down and the BRDM might drive away... and the next guy will do the same thing and soon there will be no more BRDM around.

I love to have the BRDM around. I´ll call a BRDM any time I find a flare, cause why waste it on a drop ? There are plenty of normal drops around... so calling another would be just boring.
Also I always chase after a BRDM call, trying to conquer it. This part alone is great fun. And from the point where you have more than 1 guy inside the BRDM, one can´t simply jump out and engage like you said, cause he has to fear the other dude to jump out and spray him back to the lobby. So that changes everything. To have 4 guys in it with only 6 alive will end in a lot of confusion and fun...

The BRDM opens up a number of new strategies and also new counter strategies. I sure know some people have no clue how to use that thing and they manage to get rekt early in the game or get the car stolen away from them, cause they just harass people with it. I love to have the thing around, no matter if I´m in it or outside. A match without BRDM is still the normal case, I´d say there is one in 3 out of 10 matches max. Those matches are more interesting though.

Yeah, the BRDM needs to be removed from solos at least.
Duos and squads is fine, but solos its just too much. Keep the armored UAZ in solos, and put BRDM in duos/squads. The people who say "oh, but i WANT the brdm in solos" is because they are no skill campers who sit in the middle of the circle with a brdm all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game and then run over the last guy.

[mtjeeves]

Well I don't like it at all. My biggest issue is that it's hit registration is all funky. I had a guy literally drive it through a car and because the car glitched it out he managed to drive it through the wall I was behind and hit me. It at least should've had more bug testing before being put in.

so you assume the last guy is stupid enough to get run over anyway ? Sure, if he is a snake...

last match the BRDM was destroyed after 2 (!!!) minutes... i know, because I was the one destroying it. Stop being a crybaby only because you have no skill to fight a vehicle ^^

edit: just killed another BRDM...
you guys really need to adjust and simply do the job right^^

[Bozzemoggel]

Well, I actually did win by running the last guy over - he was killing the other guy left the moment it happened. But the best about it: the dude i smashed was a cheater who managed to get 20 kills, even though he had zero awareness.
Strange.

BH keeps struggling to get ridd of those hacks, but at least they gave us the BRDM,
so there is a chance the hack wont win.
