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.
Bro, I think the Nightbird is balanced well right now.
You can more easily shoot the pilot out, it's a bit harder (heavier) to control, and it's now one shot kill with the Bolte. There are other multiple ways to bring the bird down.
The thing is that your're dealing with one of the (if not THE) best heli pilot in BF2042 lol, and you're just unlucky he's in your region. Lol
AsheBF. I watch his streams. He's insane. Is the second legit highest ranked player with Rank 300+, and has over 1600 hours in the game. Of course he will dominate. Lol
