Reconnaissance drones are not as powerful. It works as a “passive” scout than a “direct” scout tool. They’re quite rewarding, on the start of the match of you manage to shoot down one, you’ll get ‘First Strike’ award and a air vehicle kill.

and like 400 SL… and that after shooting down a drone what is nearly impossible with most vehicles
Mate UAVs are incapable of engaging targets and the only drones that are, are relatively expensive and only equipped with 2 anti armored related missiles.
This is the equivalent of complaining about plane spam. It’s the same thing with a different coat and shade of paint.
Guess what, there is many players, too, that complain about plane spam.
Even though that’s not comparable but anyways…

Anecdotal evidence, is that all?
Drones don’t fly in straight lines, they always wabble. On top of that they are extremely tiny.
Many anti-air missiles won’t even get triggered by how tiny the renaissance drones are. It’s literally impossible to shot down a such drone with the VT1 for example.
Nobody over the player lvl of 5 does that.
I’ve seen higher levels do that. It isn’t only low levels.
Yes, they don’t. So do your job and shoot them down. :D. Other wise these posts are completely pointless.
Only because you have seen higher levels do that occasionally, that is why any critics about planes is automatically wrong?
Your whole argument is based of anecdotal evidence. This makes no sense, 0%, it’s illogical.

You did respond. Try again.
they should remove drones 100% it was one of the worst thing they added to this game

I like you to shoot it down with lmg while the scout drone is flying 3 km above you verhicle unless you play SPAA but then is funny to waste missile on scout drone if the drone player just can get another one from the capture point. Shooting on scout drone also reveal your postion to enemies nearby.
That’s nearly no different from using scouting on a tank. There is just less of a chance. You folks tend to complain about scouting on tanks but you now swapped to complaining about drones doing the same thing.
Probably because both are novel ideas but with some real problems. That you can still be scouted after destroying the vehicle that scouted you and having you highlighted on the minimap is really silly (there no counterplay either, you can’t smoke it off or anything, and arguing for it: there’s no grace attempts for failed scouting and losing assists because the guy died 1 nanosecond after the scouting expired is real cool). And Scout drones, while less immediately frustrating; have far more value than Strike drones with no real cost and imo have always been more broken.

A fair and logical reasoning than what the other folks were replaying with. ^_^b
The big issue is the game hasnt changed in literally years, game modes, maps and systems are designed for WW2 and post WW2 tanks, not abrams Sep V2s and the likes.
Now we have scout drones on big massive open maps which
A. Have no battery life.
B. Are insanely difficult to actually shoot down.
C. are also Incredibly busted because people can essentially use them even running a flank solo to just hop in, see where someone is, hop out and fire.
They remove the realistic spotting and such from RB

Fair points. Fair points however once again Scout Drones don’t have any weapons. Most also don’t use the map.
Completely irrelevant that they carry weapons or not.
They actively can point out where people are both on the screen and on the minimap.
As well as this, when a player chooses to use it, say near a capture point, they can quickly identify the location of everyone on said point then facilitaty easily wiping them out.
Ive done it with the CV90105 multiple times wiping up to 5 people a time.

Mate, they do not carry weapons isn’t irrelevant, you’re just making them irrelevant cause you want them removed despite them being nothing more than a nuisance at best.
Also even if they added a battery it would be around 12-48 hours. In the game that’s around 6 hours when you need to balance it. So the battery is negligible at best.

Mate, a nuisance??
The drone that offers a birds eye view of the area, has thermals, great optics and a form of spotting mechanic, you dont see the issue to that when only one specific vehicle has access too it.
You’ve only one argument and that is it doesn’t have weapons it doesn’t need them to an unfair advantage. Completely ignoring how biblically difficult they are to even hit in the first place and most the time when you do hit them, its just that hit and then it buggers off.
You can literally hop into it, paint up an entire cap point, whilst also advancing to said point mind you and know exactly where everyone is.
Who said its to be a realistic battery.
Reloads are used for balancing as are ammunitions.
So they can very well balance using the air time of the drone.
Oh also in response to this, it doesnt just ping the map, it puts a big red marker on the screen as well. Which last i checked isnt very realistic
Scout drones are pretty strong for a solo player as they give you perfect awareness, especially if you’re flanking.
However, in full squads they go from strong to outright broken.
