DICE TeamHi @Straatford87 I've just left a game in Oceania because I'm still just getting farmed by a nightbird pilot (everyone in Oceania knows who it is even though they constantly change their name). Why was this vehicles ridiculously overpowered anti infantry rockets not addressed. This is the key thing ruining the game as mentioned by many many players. The rest of the helicopters didn't need changing or moving slot etc this specific vehicle with that specific weapon needed to either be removed entirely or heavily treated for balance. It is also embarrassing for the community team on BF2042 that you even tweet and retweet content of people ruining the game for others and just shows how out of touch the team is with the majority of people playing the game. You have the data. Look at the metrics. There shouldn't be a way that a single man vehicle should be able to go on 80-0 on spree (of which 25 kills are them farming afk forced spawns at the start of the game and the bot wave). DO NOT LET THIS GO MONTHS BEFORE BEING ADDRESSED. This is a live service game and all that needs to be done is tweaking values or disabling the anti infantry rockets. This vehicle is more overpowered than the 12g frag rounds which were instantly disabled once that was discovered. Please please address this and make the game enjoyable to experience as a regular non-streamer overpowered vehicle abuser.

This is probably the one thing I believe needs to be addressed soonish.
RE your other points, yeah getting farmed isn't fun but there are counters to it that many people have successfully achieved. For one its much easier to shoot pilots out now, hacking helis is a great way to get them to go away, or just stay out of their way entirely (ie indoors). Granted, not all objectives have cover in the right places, but enough of them do that you can still be in the fight exclusively against infantry if you want.
Of course nobody should be un-killable, if you're able to find the right squad you can take out basically anyone with ease. Teamwork is essential, and now that VOIP is a thing it should theoretically be easier to achieve.
I've seen players have unlimited anti-missile flares making it nearly impossible to hit a fast, high flying nightbird. Not sure if it is a hack or what.
