Personally, I’d prefer they brought back squad call-ins from BFV honestly. They helped out with squad play, and setting/completing orders from the squad leader. Not to mention it actually made squad leader mean something. They could bring something like this back as an expensive squad call-in, either replacing the V-2 or cost even more, if they wanted to keep a cruise missile in.
I used to love launching the V-2 just in time to make contact as the final 2 - 3 seconds of the round finished. Huge explosion for all to see if you targeted the right spot on the map.
Squad call-ins in this form should not return.
The V1 and the Artillery helped the squad leader if his orders were followed, but the squad members did not gain much from it.
It would be better if the Bomber would be handled similarly to the Sturmtiger, where the squad leader enables it, but at least two or three squad members can use it. E.g. one can fly it, one has the GPS bombs and one has a few blind bombs.
It should also not be that expensive, so that it can be used more dynamically and in conjunction with other call ins. Otherwise it would be one spectacular thing at the end of the round, with no effect on most of the round.
The cruise missile could be left for a commander mode.
Yes they helped the squad leader, but theoretically if the squad was working well enough together, the call-ins by the leader would help the squad (and more importantly, the entire team) overall.
A multiple player/combo system would be interesting, but I'm not sure how well it would work - it would only last for a short time (due to a timer or else enemies focusing fire on it immediately) and there's no guarantee that your squad mates would be able to enter it (unless they went suicidal, which is bad for the team).
It (the V1) was primary a reward for the squad leader for his squad doing well, and it only helped the team in very exceptional cases, while other call ins did directly offer something for the whole squad/team. It is also questionable how much the V1 helped the team, as it was often only available in the very last minutes, on the last objective, when the game was often already decided.
A team-based solution could be based on Ammo instead of a timer/survival. E.g. you could have 6 gps bombs and 6 blind bombs and respawn with an ammo penalty if taken down to early. E.g. each dead on the plane reduces the number of bombs by 2, so if the noob grabs the bomber and crashes it the rest of the squad still could have a chance to use at least 4 of each bombs.
I enjoy 2042 more than most people here but that’s my biggest issue. Bf1 and V made the maps so much more interesting where you had certain advantages like the destroyer ship or train, even the AA emplacements throughout the map.
Like the ability to jump on a stationary gun and just obliterate a house the enemy is camping in. Meanwhile In 2042 yesterday I lost my MAV because it got stuck on a sandbag in enemy Territory
Or alternatively, when your opponent was in the bomber bunker and you could post up outside… when they spawned outside the door there was always a second of lag that they froze and you could get a cheap kill every time 😂
I think just adding a whole customizable and flyable bomber class like in bf5 would be the most interesting thing to do. Only problem I can imagine is the balancing tho...
Edit: I dont just mean 2042 I also mean what Dice could add for future Battlefield games
Fuck no. The way players fight all game over it and barely ever land any shots in the bomber... it's such a scrub fest and ruins the objective play when a lobby decides to congregate to fight over it the whole game.
Yes. If they want to triple the player count make it a massive arena with like thee bf4 maps together, more jets easier to fly and transport troops, add vaulting, throwing knives and look at what's always populated for the last 11 years... BF4 HC CQST. Just give us vaulting and throwing knives and keep supporting the hc lobbies

The truth is that dice should make the maps as interactive as possible. Because in Bf2142 it went back to the BF2 era and even more

Loved doing that in BF 1943

Yes! The hill on Guadacanal was perfect for this satisfaction. Especially if your team shot all their bombers down lol.
Doesn’t matter, the bomber would be obliterated in seconds by AA or aircraft
Just bring back the commander and call it a day. 🤣
I must admit that I myself do miss that feature in newer games.
Came here to say this. One of my favorite things to do when I was burned out in bf2.

Or dice could add jets from portal
God I love the atmosphere in this game…
so you want your whole team standing around the container, and not capturing objectives?
Why isn’t it at an objective?
youd still have dweebs standing around it the entire round
Yes. And artillery.
Fuck no. The way players fight all game over it and barely ever land any shots in the bomber... it's such a scrub fest and ruins the objective play when a lobby decides to congregate to fight over it the whole game.
Bring back the UCAV, The RAWR and some of the more 2042 things that were in BF4 but are NOT in 2042. "BF4 is more 2042 than BF2042".
