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!
You have two main game modes, Conquest and Breakthrough. By removing attack air vehicles from Breakthrough, you have literally removed air attack vehicles from 50% of the game. The ONLY reason I play battlefield and have since Bad Company 2, is the air attack vehicles. The vehicles are what make this game different from every other generic boring shooter out there that only has infantry play. Why would you take the key aspect of your game that makes you different and attracts all sorts of other "bored of infantry play" gamers and just completely remove it from half of the game? This decision is absolutely ludicrous. I pre-ordered this game in excitement. I didn't give up on this game even with lackluster releases and continuous horrible reviews. I have stuck by this game since it came out and defended it against slander. This ill conceived notion to just completely eradicate vehicles from fifty percent of PVP play is most likely going to be the last straw for me and many other players. I honestly don't even feel like loading Battlefield up anymore, for the first time since last year when it released. To those who would say just play conquest: It is so very boring compared to breakthrough. There is no sense of progression in conquest taking the same post over and over again. I just can't believe the devs think this is a good idea. I mean why not just take air attack vehicles out of the game completely? Then you can be just like every other mediocre 1st person shooter competitor out there.
the air vehicles have gotten no love in 2042, its shameful
