@dc12O3 For reals? That explains why I haven't actually taken down a single aircraft since the patch. I'll do some damage that they know they can safely take but that's about it.

* air is garbage in this game. The only actual counter to air is...other air, because any ground counters are largely easily countered by "bust flares and fly out of range/site". Unless you can somehow coordinate 4+ people hitting it with stingers while flares are down at the exact same time (lol good luck getting your whole squad to do this with randoms) they genuinely feel unkillable from ground if the pilot has half a brain.

Just watching air steamroll matches when the other team doesn't have good pilots is boring and lame and sucks. Even when you're on the winning team.

Was playing portal last night.  For first time I saw a night bird out maneuver a ground-air missile from a EBAA Wildcat.  Just spun around and dodged the missile.  Ridiculous.  Glad EA fixed that bug....

    I like the game, which is why I've been trying to help in some way, via twitter with the team, and now I'm going to comment here on the forum. But I feel silence from the development team many times, even on twitter. The Xbox Series X still has some stutters, I can't get into any vehicles of friends in the countdown before the match for initial placement, I find the helicopters too "strong", they are often indefensible. I can only do something against them when I play with the hacker expert (Navin). it's very disappointing. However, this latest update has improved some things, only made others worse.

    Was today's update #4.1?

    Can we get some patch notes about what changes/fixed have been made?

    Any change to address #TransportHeliField2042 ?

    @JarskyPlays There doesn't seem to be an update today when I loaded up Origin. Just changes to Portal mode, no patch.

    DICE haven't said anything about when or what the "May" patch will contain/drop.

    And you'll enjoy #TransportHeliField2042, damnit!

    @edgecrusherO0 Something changed as I had the severe packet loss image while playing SOLO last evening after the small update. First time ever. Varied between yellow and red for the whole session.

    @ATFGunr Might be something from the server side change they made for the permanent Portal modes today.

    @edgecrusherO0 Something did change, because my game in Steam updated. Hence wondering what changes were pushed to the game client.

    Still don't have an answer.
