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.

I genuinely dislike planes but they rarely matter in the outcome of games. Especially if the enemy gains air superiority and forces people to ground and pound flags. PTFO matters in BF and planes are so far outside the objective they rarely matter. Oh sure they can carpet bomb a flag...whoopppteeedo. Only take 1 or 2 medics to negate any casualties. BFV balance seems okay, you get the typical skilled pilot that can operate at the range they can't get killed effectively but I haven't seen it be the deciding factor in a game result. You can always tell why you lose by how many of your dots on the map are close to flags or not
