Attack helicopters and Jet on Breakthrough?
What happened to Attack Helicopters and Jets on Breakthrough? Now we have the new tanks camping on the edge of the map and people camping on the rooftops on Breakthrough, and there is nothing we can ...

I'm an avid attack helicopter pilot, and I LOVE breakthrough. This upsets me so much...

Hey all,
With the Season 3 Update we've made a major change related to vehicles through the introduction of new Vehicle Categories:
With the reworked allocation of Vehicles, you'll notice different availability between maps and modes.
In Breakthrough this means that we've made the decision to remove Jets and Attack Heli's from play for this mode. Air Transport remains available, but due to the linear layout of Breakthrough we feel a focus on ground warfare offers the best gameplay experience. In our observation we also noticed that Air Attack was overly dominant in this mode, while having little room little room to navigate due to the smaller and linear layout of Breakthrough.
Conquest will still have all vehicle types available for play if you're keen to jump into Jets, or Attack Heli's.
Lastly, we understand this is a change to gameplay and will require getting used to. We'll carefully continue monitoring how this plays out, and we're open to your feedback about how you feel the new Vehicle Categorization is playing out now that Season 3 is available for play.
As always, thanks for the flag and your questions!
Terrible changes IMO. As a Breakthrough only player, why can't I enjoy Air Vehicles as other mode? Given that Jets now have their own category, it should make a decent anti-attack Helicopter farming on Breakthrough.
I don't see how this is a problem, when there is literally only a single Air vehicles on one team (excluding the occasion Transport heli) ?
Honestly my biggest threat is getting popped out of the driver's seat. But a competent rail tank can MELT helos.
