MBT LAW really needs a nerf

But I understand the hate on this thing as a driver of something, and have personally used it in a WAY~ too effective way.

Just have two dedicated MBT LAW engineer who have decent shot, and you can down a tank in two barrage. That takes, what, 5 seconds? Its ridiculous.

And its not that engineers are useless unless they are fighting vehicles. Thanks to DICE listening to idiots playing engineer only for the sheer comfort of having anti-vehicle measure that was getting murdered by anti-personnel classes, buffed this class way too much. And now that it seemed the class is nerfed with PDW only, in fact, they are now even more versatile with being able to choose ultra CQC PDW, absolute versatility carbine, long range replacer DMR, fuck vehicles and BF combat system MBT LAW, and reliable RPG.

And the extension of the flippin MBT LAW is Staff Shell. What the fuck is this crap? This thing should be completely removed from the game. It removes any "combat" in vehicular combat. Just spam this ultra straight firing weapon that will auto track enemy tank that will also load incredibly fast.

Guided shell being as useless, as it is right now, need some buff. And staff shell getting guided shell properties will basically net them as early first shot advantage, but not continuous barrage of death.

This should solve things rather nicely, now that I think about it.

For MBT LAW, it really needs to be low risk, low return. It does constant 25+ damage which will down anything in more or less 4 shots. 4 shots with the reload time will make it 5 second survival time for anything with two engineers using it (as I have mentioned above) and make it four engineers for an instant death.

There really is no way to balance this thing without completely crippling it.

Reduce damage, and it becomes near useless on people that generally play alone.
Reduce ammo carrying will still enable it to be effective, since you don't have to barrage it just by yourself.
Requiring lockon for top tracking will just make it Javelin, and it overlaps the purpose of the launcher. (but still this is the best one out of possible nerfs)

But, I also have a feeling that just by fixing active protection, many of the rants will just disappear as MBT LAW actually will be neutralized with it.

You have a tank. Which is impervious to bullets. That can kill any soldier in 1 shot and it doesn't even have to directly hit them. That can also switch to a machine gun nearly instantly. That can also have another gunner helping. That moves faster than a soldier can sprint. And that you can bail out of at any time you choose with full 100% health if it does get damaged...

But you feel that a launcher which takes 5 shots to kill a tank and generally a combined effort from multiple enemies to be dangerous, should be nerfed?
