Hi Ammarr, thank you for your detailed response. Here is my reply to your message:
I understand that we have access to the water tank, but to be honest, it is rarely used. There are strict rules governing when the water tank can and cannot be utilised, and it is not as easily accessible as the BMX. Additionally, the water tank is specifically designed for certain scenarios, whereas the BMX is freely exploited, leading to abusive gameplay. Hence, the two are quite different. It doesn't make sense within the game that a BMX would grant immunity from being knocked off or shot, providing an unfair advantage compared to the water tank. While a water tank can be easily destroyed by a few shots from an M4 magazine, a bike cannot.
Moreover, since my return to playing on SAES, I have not witnessed any squad employing the water tank in any situation. Granted, it has only been two weeks since my return, but this absence of water tank usage still suggests that no squad has utilised it during this time. Conversely, gangs have been extensively using the broken and overpowered BMX for store robberies, turf wars, and evading arrest because they know how effortless it is to avoid being shot or arrested.
Although I am willing to impose restrictions on the use of the water tank (if they don't already exist, as I vaguely remember restrictions from the past), I believe it is more pressing to address the issue of individuals gaining an extremely unfair advantage by using a bike while wanted.
Lastly, I'm not even sure if the water tank has the capability to knock someone off a bike.
