Changes needed for fxaa and soflam/recoilless
In 128 player matches there are potentially 20-30+ fxaa locking into 3-4 air vehicles at any time in various spots. The whole map is a minefield for vehicles + rao can disable flares. I know a lot...

@SpudBug I have seen what happens when infantry ignores helos. No thanks.
A good nightbird pilot is almost impossible to kill. I make it a point to hunt helos so let me give you some advice from an infantry perspective:
You MUST fly fast at all times. Do strafing runs and never drop your speed and ALWAYS stay low. A tree or wire can interupt lock and save your life. If you flare you need to gtfo of dodge NOW and use terrain as cover (you only need a tree or tiny hill) . If you get greedy and loiter or try to dogfight over objectives or enemy spawn you need to fly over 400m or draw them to your spawn to fight. If you don't you WILL get shot down.
If you arent doing these things then don't ask for nerfs

@Psubond This. Against any competent pilots the best you can realistically hope for is to quickly force them to blow flares and hide behind a building/hill or something while the cooldown comes back, or fly way out of range so they're not very effective.
It's nigh impossible to actually kill competent pilots as infantry. It's a good thing that there are so many garbage pilots. Which I am very much one of, though I very intentionally do not ever fly as a result : |
