It seems that Battlefield 3 is going to be changing up the way we look at vehicles in the battlefield universe. The list is finally nailed down to 20 playable vehicles across 12 classes. The classes are broken down a lot, armored transports, infantry fighting vehicles, main battle tanks, scout helicopters, attack helicopters, fighter jets and attack jets. See what I mean, I would have just said Jets and Helicopters but DICE has a plan.
There’s going to be 80 different upgrades and each vehicle like your weapons will get 3 slots to mix and match upgrades at will. And the biggest game changer is going to be healing vehicles. Yup just like you, duck out of battle and your vehicle heals itself over time. Now they do mention “lightly damaged” vehicles so hit a tank with 3 rocket and it will still be debilitating. And they mean that, it will not drive but it will still be able to fire. Get enough engineers on it and maybe it’ll be battle worthy, if it doesn’t take another hit that is. I can’t wait for release day, Battlefield 3 is looking better and better!
