Skill? Skill because you are getting hit by marshmallows from the Wildcat? Skill because you flare and regenerate them in 30sec? Skill because you can actually hid behind cover? Skill because you can dodge Liz's clunky missile? Skill because you can dodge a recoilless or RPG that is shooting a straight heading? Skill because you can flare while being hacked? I think skill is being confused with lack of useful counter weapons to the NB. I sure don't see tanks or other ground vehicles going 100-0 or maybe its because they don't have 600 hours in them.

Soflam is overated. We tried it with a friend and unless the pilots got greedy, we might as well have been using stingers for the same effect of repelling but not killing.
The designation icons might be bugged though which definitely does not help communicate to the team that you designated something
I do agree that teams as a whole almost never utilize their full advantage in numbers vs the limited vehicles.

How about me? I need to think about:
2 wildcats
2 tanks, how close i can approach
Brawlers
Latvs/boltes/hoover
Podhawks (harrypotters with stinger)
Constant lockons
Constant lizz spam
Counter air: jets, helos, gunship
Infantry: lazering lmgs, roch, rpg/m5, alot stinger locks (which constantly shoots out btw), hacks, soflam.
The people you are trying to convince aren't going to find these lists very persuasive. Don't infantry and tanks have longer lists?
@AngrySquid270
To be fair once again, the vehicles are set back by destruction a lot longer than the infantry.
Between the new vehicle loss penalty, the respawn timer and the competition within the team for the vehicle slots.
This is not a defense of the nightbird but a general statement about how higher the stakes are when one is on a vehicle and wants to do well instead of cowering.
Your enemies include every noob who will use the stupid loss penalty timer to take the next vehicle respawn and generally make a much worse use of it.
Yeah I can pop in any other vehicle, especially ground, and the list is the same, +C5 and sundances and mackays all over the place. Alone you have must less survivability than in NB. Less cover, less agility, etc... unless you are doing noting useful far away in the corner of the map. 🙂
NB can be too agressive without any counter to be afraid of... if you are not a beginner with it... and you can do high K/D alone, which is not possible on most other vehicles... well, ofc possible with some other air vehicle sometimes. 🙂
I am saying, either nerf the NB... or make some more threatening AA counter for it... so it cannot hunt to hell flags and areas with much cover. That it can "easily" to play "skillfull".... haha. 🙂
Daily nerf Little Bird post from extremely skill issued and loud-mouthed engineer with an agenda and complete disregard for game balance and game play.
