The trucks in Call of Duty: Warzone were amusing, but also a lot of frustration among players. Because some of them were absurdly fatal, fans demanded their abolition or at least major revisions.
The developers are apparently listening: in solo mode of the Battle Royale the big tank vehicles are now removed
We pulled out the big Armored Trucks from the solo playlist. Hopefully that tones downs the vehicle meta a bit. #Warzone

He left open whether the trucks will eventually return to the solos, possibly in a modified form. The changes do not affect the other vehicles like all-terrain vehicles or helicopters. The big trucks are still part of duos, trios and quads.
»Vehicles are the best weapons«
For some players, tank vehicles were considered the most powerful weapon in the game. A frequently criticized point is the big hit box of the trucks, which makes evasion almost impossible. Numerous discussions – including here on Reddit – are about it.
There are also tons of clips online that show why the trucks have a massive impact on Warzone balancing. An example is this video in which a single player 16 kills in a few minutes creates:
Thanks to the thick armor of his vehicle, he remains almost unassailable and also causes massive damage. Road rage matches like this may be entertaining for those behind the wheel, but all other players are left behind. Although it is possible to destroy the trucks, it is anything but easy.
How to defend yourself against the trucks: The Youtuber Obligated has created a video tutorial in which he tests which method is the most effective against it. Short summary: He recommends rocket launchers (especially JOKR) and a lot of distance.
Warzone players are not only annoyed by balance problems. They also complain about massive problems with cheaters. On the other hand, Infinity Ward wants to take decisive steps and full transparency: Since release, more than 70,000 hackers have been banned from the game.
