Balance unkillable Air vehicles
No one should be able to go sixty and zero in battlefield. That is clearly the sign of a broken game mechanic, not good game design. It's absurd that air can pop a counter measure, fly off for ten se...

The problem of balance comes about when DICE leaves weaken single AA option only or lucky shots.

Agree, but it's also because dice do stupid things, like monkey chopper, rocket spam, carpet bombing, fire bombs and canons. It should not be easy to farm infantry and it should have a long learning curve. Making planes/choppers strong against infantry and AA against planes/choppers just prevent any new pilot from trying. I dont like air to farm infantry but I also dont want to see any ny pilot stop trying because its to hard to fly due to AA. There must be a middle way.

In bfv I think they got the AA about right on the Pacific maps. The placement of the AA on the earlier maps however left a lot to be desired.
- @ninjapenquinuk That is when the also brought in Infantry AA, that fixed some problems.
This happens every DICE BF and it rude word.
- DICE launch BF. Aircraft are set to be OP so newbie can use and unlock/improve aircraft.
- DICE after about a year in, the planes get nerfs, improvement to AA to bring balance.What actual happens is past veteran pilots hog planes to unlock/improve. Even right post about stop people still their slot. So Newbie never get their chance. When the change occurs Veteran complain it is unfair to newbie and themselves getting weaker aircraft. Everyone whine about the lack of balance through out the entry game.
DICE needs to stop this mid game AA rebalance.
There is lots of issues.
If we are going to have jets, planes and copters the range of equipment that can counter, attack surface and attack air needs some better thinking as it allows to pick the targets the pilot wishes to hunt rather then a role.
When it is compared to ground vehicles option are limited to their roles. These limited roles impact ground vehicles performance unlike aircraft.Then there the argument that aircraft only dominate certain maps, well that is silly, nothing should automatically dominate a map that seem to be argument that a handful of players should have a right to control many others.
We don't need MAA if enough ground vehicles have access to AA weapons. Having creditable infantry(maybe stationary) AA weapons and counters to air weapons needs to be from the start.
