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 do because there are no more Air vehicles on Breakthrough!

Classic Dice out to ruin Breakthrough mode again.

    It is not a proper battlefield experience if the air force is missing from an open map.

    They just need to balance the numbers between both teams.

    What happened to Attack Helicopters and Jets on Breakthrough? They were removed because you would have attack helis camping in orbit and/or edge of map farming the infantry way below. Thank the shoddy vehicle-ground balance for that. Also, in general Breakthrough maps are too small for vehicles, and I'm surprised DICE let the tanks on. DICE needs to make proper sized maps for the vehicles instead of this crap.

    DICE made the rookie mistake of deciding that the vehicle problems to infantry are solved with less vehicles.

    The correct answer is adding more vehicles.

    If the attack helis had to spend most of their time defending themselves from other aircraft like jets, then they have less free time to farm the ground.

    Plus the orbital helicopter style was nerfed as it should. So the main reason to remove keep the aircraft removed is gone.

    The Rao hack is also really powerful right now.

    Put attack helicopters and jets back into Breakthrough. I'm a Breakthrough only, infantry only player and i didn't need you deciding for me what experience would be better. BT was better with air support and an equal amount of tanks for both sides. I play 2042 Conquest now (a year & half later cause i quit playing after this decision) and i haven't stopped playing exclusively infantry. All you did was push me to CQ where the gunfights are not as intense as i remember them being on BT. You said to play CQ to pilot but i'm not a pilot. As an infantry centric player i came to 2042 for combined arms warfare (infantry, tanks, attack helis & jets) and i payed full price for specifically to play Breakthrough.

    Looks like the majority consensus is put the air force back into BT but you haven't done anything with the feedback. You left BT as some COD knockoff for nearly two years now. As long as BT remains the way that it is i'll never play BT again and if you keep this "focus on ground warfare" philosophy nonsense for the next Battlefield Breakthrough i won't be supporting the next game.

    Once again, I will try to put into perspective that Breakthrough is a "slice" of the Operations mode in BF1.

    Operations spanned across multiple maps while Breakthrough is a single map mode.

    Does that not mean that Breakthrough should be compromising on the scale of the warfare involved.

    The removal of the attack aircraft in the 2042 Breakthrough has reduced it into Rush with capture zones instead of M-Coms

    My suggestion is to put the attack aircraft back into the 2042 Breakthrough and also include as many Wildcats as you deem necessary per team to compensate.

    PS: Back when the attack aircraft were removed  from 2042 Breakthrough there were no LATVs with flack cannons or EBLC RAMs either. The ground forces have more tools for fighting back against the air than back then.
