Dear Friends. I'll be 75 years old in November. I'm at a level 57 and a 19 rank Scout is my best. My reaction time is terrible and my aim is poor. Can count on one hand the times I've beaten someone face-to face.
Game is crazy or desperate to make me squad leader as often it does. However, I always give good orders (mostly) I think. Any advice. I love the game. Would becoming a tanker be better? Should I just wait
for BF5 Campaign or simply call it a day and play bridge on-line?

Apart from then jokes, just have fun and don't worry about stats etc. Try various things, you might enjoy the cavalry for instance.
Game on!
Ps are you on console or PC? Aim assist with the sniper will work but choose an infantry variant. Otherwise I suggest a large capacity lmg weapon (support)
Scout is probably the most difficult class to play aggressively as most of the time they won't do the full 100 damage to the enemy and require a lot of precision and reaction to really be competitive against other classes in a close range firefight. You may find yourself more effective as assault or support.
As for your question about being a tanker, why not try it? I don't think tanker requires too much in terms of fast reflexes either. Plus your shells have a decent kill radius to them in case you aren't exactly on point. It's more about positioning and knowing when and when not to push forward or retreat to repair (gotta watch out for those pesky assault players throwing AT grenades and hitting you with AT rockets). Although it does require decent eye sight since you need to watch out for AT mines on the ground in your path.
It doesn't hurt to try everything and anything in game to find your niche. That's my advice as a younger guy at least (27).
If you want to try playing a tanker, try out the Soissons operation that's being highlighted right now. Attacking team gets ~6 tanks, so it's easier to try out.
Keep in mind though that tanks are important team resources on most maps. A bad tanker has a greater impact on the team's success than a bad infantryman.
Do you play bf1 on computer or xbox playstation?
Playing as a tanker, well, depends on what type are you gonna use, but don't stay still in a camping spot farming kills. And, you go down with the ship, don't give the enemy the chance to get an extra tank.
If your controller uses the system I'm thinking of then try lowering your trigger sensitivity to 5% as that will negate the need for a full press on the trigger and should mean that all your guns work with the locks.
