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 ...

DICE TeamHey 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!
@Straatford87 Balancing aside, this change will lock out many low-end pc players away from air vehicles. There are a lot of players who choose B64 because they can't run 128 player matches on their PCs. Right move would be returning helis to most of the maps but not all of them.
Also making helis harder to play is a must.
Stealth should get 30mm gun removed together with anti air lock ons.
Nightbird should loose rocket pods and 25mm
Apache should stay as it is but buff its gunner and give him the option to run one AGM and one anti air rocket.
Many players complain about lack of AA but there is planty of options.
