Unlike combat vehicles all transportation vehicles are capturable by opponent, of course this doesn't cause problem since all of them equipped with just machine guns except that one. However this vehicle is a piece of artilley rather than a transportation vehicle, it's effective and will be more effective after next update. I think letting opponent team capture that vehicle cause balance problems and will cause more because it will be even more effective in the future.
Capturing this vehicle is not really hard for opponent team:
- Players can shoot the driver from vision slits, or climb to top of the vehicle, or throw a handgranade inside the vehicle with right mouse button.
- Some players use this vehicle for transportation than abandon it.
- Players sometimes lose connection to server because of regular connection problems, punkbuster problems or crushes to desktop and when this happens opponent players can easily spot the empty vehicle from minimap and capture it very easily.
Current effectiveness of vehicle with direct fire:
I hope i won't get a ban for that.
Indirect fire to captured heavy flak and medium at gun which were trapping our vehicles to base.
Since it's an effective vehicle opponent team often try to capture it.
And this is what happens if they managed to capture it.
