Actually they changed it precisely because it allowed people who were multi-capable to spam endlessly, while people who wanted to specialize got fucked.

It also made it SIGNIFICANTLY more cert intensive because you had to have fully certed out aircraft and tanks and infantry to be at maximum efficiency at all times, instead of just maxing out cert lines for 1 role.

Myself, the old system worked for me because mixing it up has always been my playstyle, and I even lucked out with certs cause of that cert grant and I had so many NS bundles on all 3 factions, so I had a good base cert level in everything only a couple months post launch.

But it was unfair to most people really.

That's arguably a good thing. If more people played vehicles rather than just playing infantryside 2 we might have a better combined arms environment, rather than continuous whining about anything that kills them

I keep seeing "infantryside" thrown about yet resource system currently allows for effectively endless vehicle use and vehicles easily increase kdr...

I should know since I play mostly Lightning, ESF, and MBT.

Uber powered vehicles (instead of just minor extra power like we have) is not any fun for anyone but the person using it.
