@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R For starters i don't play helis i play jets.
Second helis require way more skill in fighting other helis and dodging stingers in the process than just using a broken gadget.

You're happy because now you can shot down air vehicles with no effort with a BROKEN GADGET, NOW THAT IS THE TRUE DEFINITION OF SKILLESS.
So if you suck to play vehicles or you don't want to, it's not my problem the whole idea is to BALANCE the game.

@SkyL4Ncer21 Too early to say how air war will be affected. I seem to remember TV missiles and guided AA launchers in previous versions. Didn't ruin the game then.
I remember the guided launchers were very hard to master - most people gave up because it used a valuable gadget spot.

@Lancelot_du_Lac I don't remember guides launchers that were TV missiles though, I remember them being controlled from the shooter's perspective like the TOW missiles on vehicles, making it far more difficult. Otherwise it was never that hard to use the TV missile back in the BF2 days to just fly it into another vehicle/etc. In fact, I remember practicing switching seats back in the day to do it lol.

@Anobix as I recall, the TV missiles were on helis.

@Lancelot_du_Lac Yep that's correct, they were on the Apache [or similar] heli in BF2, which is what I was referring to practicing switching seats if I was solo from the pilot seat to secondary, using a TV missile, hitting, and switching back... never got great at it, but there's plenty of highlight reels out there of those that did.
