The night bird 20mm weapon is too low on damage needs a buff imo

@SgtHL 5 with a 30mm? I've had people survive 10 hits on multiple occasions.Passenger weapons on all vehicles are garbage, especially miniguns. They lack splash damage, so you need to have pinpoint damage to hit anything, which is nearly impossible in most of these vehicles unless they're at a full stop, not to mention the damage dealt is frustrating since it still takes like 5-10 direct hits to kill someone. Using miniguns on heli's? Waste of time. You'd have better luck in a generic passenger seat using your own gun to hit anything.BF3 and 4 this wasn't an issue, but this game mounted weapon damage is insanely unrealistic, even if it is a video game.

@ke_bin47 Good pilots in nightbirds seem to be able to obliterate me in seconds whether on foot or in vehicle so I don’t think they need a buff. Maybe you need a mirror to see what needs a buff.

Nightbird still over powered imho only players who complain are non infantry players.Or those who play for k/d ratio only

Dont realy use 20mm, the minigun is way OP against any other chopper in the gamethe only reason to use the 20mm is to finish of tanks after you nuke them with 2 AGMs.. again its way OP

sure if you trade the rockets for it... but both are just not fun to have for the recieving side....would it be fair if you got faster flare recharge then? asa turnover?

20mm cannons on nightbird are too weak. Need to increase damage!

The Nightbird is currently a beast and objectively the 2nd most powerful vehicle in the game after the jets thanks to its high mobility, speed and fire-power.
The last thing 2042 needs is a buff to the Nightbirds!
A good pilot can reduce a tanks health by approximately 30% in one half circle strafe with its 20mm cannons.
