[2.1.0] The New Apache/Super Hokum Rockets are kinda OP.

Initially I thought they were good changes, but then I played with it and against it. Each 127mm Rocket is basically the equivalent of a Recoilless now. (Slightly less, so as to not one shot aircraf...

@TG_Maveric2022 Absolutely, once Jets are given their own category, it will be far more difficult for these Heli campers to farm infantry since they'll have to worry more about other targets.

    @S3SSioN_SoL Now that you mention it try using the anti infantry rockets on the attack chopper, I guarantee you that you will be surprised about how bad they perform their accuracy is basically the bloom we had with the Battlefield 3 guns before the patch, that's why I'm completely against nerfing any vehicles anymore most of them are getting downgraded to the point of acting as ambience and scenery only.
    Now the chopper gunner can actually do damage and the rockets are useful.
    Another challenge use the 30mm main gun from the hokum against infantry SPOILER: They suck.
    There's also still the issue of the hind/condor being a flying tank absorbing the bullets.

      @SkyL4Ncer21maybe it would help to put increase the power of the pilot at the expense of the gunner then?

      the exclusive 30mm of the hokun was another bad asymmetry idea tbh though

      @SkyL4Ncer21 So I played a few more games. The New Rockets are definitely OP. Hope DICE nerfs accordingly.

        It's not OP, its how it should be. The rockets are wildly inaccurate in the first place, they don't go where the crosshair points at, unlike Battlefield 4's Attack Heli where you can literally snipe enemy from cross map with the Zuni Rockets. At long range, those rockets are pretty much guess work against enemy helicopters. Not to mention how long it takes for those rockets to reload.
