DICE Team@T0TALfpsBelow radar is the stupidest thing DICE has ever added to Battlefield.
Apparently air vehicles that get to pick and choose where to attack because they fly 50 times faster than anyone can drive or run need special protection from being stupid enough to fly over a wildcat.. back when I played battlefield 1942 & BF2 the only "below radar" I needed was to follow terrain before attacking. I didn't need all the zoomer gadgets like repairs, magic flares, auto heals. If I needed repairs or reloads I landed on the airfield like a man, or I died crashing it into the ground.
The wildcat is already terrible and useless as an AA Vehicle, why would you nerf it even harder? It's guns are awful, it's missiles take forever to lock on and any obstacle in the way stops them, and they're incredibly slow if they do launch.
I seriously do not get why DICE continues to cater to air whiners, every single game they complain and whine even though they're going 100-0 regularly about anything that isn't another air vehicle that could hurt them even though they already get benefits like:
* Being able to pick & choose who to attack.
* Magic flares/ecm (depending on the game) that always work and that reload in the same amount of time that it takes to reload a stinger.
* Getting magic repairs.
* Magic reloads, not even have to fly over a supply area like previous games.
"Wah wah stingers, they're only 300 meters range and take forever to reload, even though it takes a player more stingers than they have to actually get a kill on anything, NERF NERF NERF".
"Wah wah AA Vehicles, even though it's missiles are crap and it guns overheat quicker than a 13900k on a stock cooler, and we have special magic instant flares that instantly break locks and magically heal in the air, and trying to get a lock from the ground is impossible because a tree branch or a random bird will stop it locking on, but it needs a NERF NERF NERF!!!!"
"How dare a low skilled jet pilot or aa vehicle users fire radar missiles at me! The only person allowed to kill me is another elite knight of the air pilot in a dogfight that I win using my automatic turning speed cheat ability. ignore that my magic flares work on radar missiles unlike reality, NERF NERF NERF!"
"Wah wah, I got hit by a rocket launcher, it's not fair that it one shots me, NERF IT NERF IT NERF IT"
"Wah, I hovered in front of a tank and it blew me up, it's not fair that a 120mm anti-tank round blows me up, WAH NERF IT!"
Air mains (i'd use less polite words but I dont' want a ban hammer) need to go play DCS or something instead of ruining Battlefield going 100-0. I couldn't even get away from the air spam in Battlefield 1. I played that for an hour when it went on special but every round I played was ruined by some * flying in low earth orbit in the Heavy Bomber getting 20 kills with every bomb drop.
The franchise would be better off removing Jets entirely (except as some kind of special China Rising style call in bomber/a10 type deal).
