"Maps & Modes
We have reduced the total number of Air Attack vehicles that can be active at any time to 1 per team
This change applies to both Conquest and Breakthrough, and is not active in Battlefield Portal modes, nor on the Classic era or Breakaway maps
The MV-38 Condor and the Mi-240 Super Hind are also not impacted by this change"
As someone who has played 2042, and other battlefields for countless hours, and enjoys being afraid and also making others afraid of air vehicles. This is a horrible change.
We aren't playing CoD here. Most of us play battlefield to play in vehicles and also as soldiers. If we want to restrict air vehicles. Have a close quarters map as part of the rotation. Like for example, metro, hurt locker and the close quarters dlc in previous bf3.
Balance the air vehicles so they can be shot down easier. Think of stationary AA guns on ships, central flag captures points etc. Sraw etc.
Don't make it 1v1 for 32/64 players to contest for 1 single attack spawn. Especially with new air vehicles occurring in Season1. Season one is going have 4 air attack vehicles with only 1 allowed up at all times is just a horrible approach. How are we going play in them? Come on dice. Do better.
Otherwise, most of the changes are positive. Keep working on vehicle balancing and not by limiting spawns, that's lazy. Thanks for making the game better in other aspects though!
