Control of the main turret by the driver is a Battlefield trait and honestly I welcome this. Shooting and driving isn't really overpowered considering that shooting forward is the only real easy way to shoot and move at the same time and the front armor is the strongest on the other tanks.

With resources controlling the vehicles doesn't sound too fun to make a tank and have some goon use your turret to kill infantry instead of the tank shooting at you.

This is also encouraging teamwork not forcing it, if you cant do anything but drive in your tank it means either one of two things you don't want to drive or your forced to depend on your team mate not to be awful at it. So in the long run, using the tank is more open and much more viable for people to use.

It was a mixture of both. You had two extremes dictated by the terrain (vast sprawling outdoors and constrained close combat. There was very little in between, and in each category, you had one group of weapons that dominated. For outdoors, it was snipers. Indoors, it was HA, or explosives. Medium assault rarely held much weight in any scenario as a versatile weapon group, because it's versatility rarely helped.

There were a lot of other specific factors I didn't like about the game: bad netcode, large TTK, generally slower paced combat in terms of speed and agility. Netcode aside, I'm willing to take most of that on a level of personal opinion. But the example above, for me, highlights how certain parts of the game weren't fully thought through. You had fundamental weapon imbalance and rather poorly designed terrain, as far as shooter combat goes. It's a pretty potent combination, and it's one of several reasons I eventually stopped playing the game, even when I had free time for it.

one thing above all others that EVERYONE will agree with: last person to shoot gets the kill, not the person who did the most damage.

I must be the only person who enjoyed the high TTK.

But yeah, like last person I won't miss XP being given out to the last person to do damage. Makes people lose their minds (Me included!) when they see a big fat target on low health and discourages teamplay.
