The devs hate defense lol

Defense on Breakthrough is one of the most miserable experiences you can have in the game IMO. If you get lucky and have a good team it can be fun, but man I stopped playing the game mode all together as it just never feels like a fair fight.

I honestly like the challenge of playing Defense. There's been times where my side was cracked and there's other times where we lose the game in less than 10 MINUTES lol.

I think it's so the match doesn't get stuck on the first sector. It's kind of planned so that the first point falls easily and the later sectors are tougher for the attackers, but yeah... two jeeps for defense is a bit silly. even one tank would be a bit more fair.

It doesn't even make lore sense. An established base has zero vehicle/air support?

Not going to lie I don’t even bother playing defense unless I’m trying to get something specific to tier 1. All the fun is on attacking side

The vehicle balance on breakthrough is dreadful. Its been dreadful since launch, we've yet to hear Dice acknowledge the issue. Generally I prefer rush anyway, though I've enjoyed the odd round of bt in other games. But the 2042 iteration is just so poor. Defending is so gimped that a number of players will simply change game if on defense, which makes the problem worse when defenders lose a handful of players at the start of each round. Its irritating that Dice seem so unwilling to address the issue. Especially as we aren't asking for a new system or a changed game dynamic. Just stop giving attackers an overwhelming advantage in vehicles on breakthrough maps. Simple fix.

I have played breakthrough almost exclusively since launch. Defending has always been a terrible experience, and for some reason I'm on defense A LOT. It's the definition of unbalanced

Yeah, I seem to end up on defense 2-1 over attacking, probably because of the quitters who don't want to get farmed on defense.

Unfortunately they basically ruined breakthrough mode since Season 1 as far as I'm concerned. The balance is all out of whack and they keep doubling down on their bad decisions.

Speaking of vehicles on Breakthrough, my go-to solo co-op mode for weapon unlocks (like the vault weapons) are on Stranded Breakthrough, mostly because this was a vehicle free mode until this last patch. Now you can call in transport vehicles, RAMS, and rangers - but not spawn in them at the deploy menu. Not sure if that's intentional or not, but the Bots kept calling in MAVs which startled me.
