Battlefield 3 & 4 are the pinnacle of the series. DICE understood what made Battlefield fun. That perfect balance of risk reward, class roles that have been the root the Battlefield series since it's inception and that brilliant paper scissors rock game design. For the past several titles DICE has lacked the ability to design a game that adheres to it's roots and has choosed to instead reinvent the wheel, fix what's not broken and ruin these beloved franchises. Taking a look at one of the biggest offenders in Battlefield 2042 is the Engineer class which is incapable of destroying a single stationary tank from the rear. I'm no rocket scientist but i'm pretty sure a sitting duck that takes those shots should be dead. Lets compare how the Engineer classes' ability to take down vehicles compares to previous modern shooter games like Battlefield 3 & 4.

To kill a main battle tank you need to following amount of rockets per side and I have also listed the maximum amount of rockets you can spawn with as an Engineer in each game.

Battlefield 2042 (3 Rockets for Recoiless M5 & 2 for RPG7v2)
Front: 5 Rockets
Side: 4 Rockets
Rear: 4 Rockets

Battlefield 4 (5 Rockets)
Front: 4 Rockets
Side: 3 Rockets
Rear: 2 Rockets

Battlefield 3 (8 Rockets)
Front: 4 Rockets
Side: 3 Rockets
Rear: 2 Rockets

You cannot kill a single tank with full health from any angle in Battlefield 2042 with a rocket launcher as they both do not do as much damage as they did in Battlefield 3/4 and especially as the engineer simply does not have enough rockets in their ammunition reserve. You could carry up to 8 RPGs in Battlefield 3 yet you are only allowed a measly 2 in Battlefield 2042? In Battlefield 4 you can kill up to 2 tanks and disable another from the rear. In Battlefield 3 you can kill up to 4 tanks from the rear. This is clear downgrade to the Engineer classes' role in Battlefield 2042 instead DICE has relegated it to the plethora of other explosive gadgets available to other classes instead for some reason. This ruins that paper scissors rock & risk reward dynamic that made Battlefield 3 & 4 so fun.
