DICE TeamCan confirm they are under review.
We've adjusted the Transport helicopters in the last game update, and we have a change to the Stealth Helicopter 30mm currently scheduled for the next game update.
Feel free to share what else you think needs to be changed to improve your gameplay experience.
@LlamaWithKatanaNah dude... Then no one will use the stealth Heli. There's better changes than that, such as limiting the distance bombs can travel before exploding mid air and giving the flares to the Gunner. Reddit will always exaggerate imbalances beyond comprehension before considering potential ramifications in all other scenarios, such as the Stealth Heli's 1v1 potential against other Helis, you make its weapons useless in Stealth, people won't use it, because then the enemy Apaches will dominate them, simple.
Stealth changes I would like to see:
1. Armor-piercing bullets can knock helo out of stealth
2. HE Bombs have a longer cooldown
3. 30mm dmg and splash nerf or quicker overheat

On reddit you "miss" the most upvoted comment while saying that there is a change to 30mm cannon. Lock ALL weapons in stealth including bombs and co-ppilot.
For the reference https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/vzielo/comment/ig8nfv5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 (120+ upvotes on the moment when I type it).
I don't agree with that, the co-pilot weapon is a suppressed gun IIRC, which makes sense in a 'stealth' manner and it also overheats VERY quickly. Maybe changing cooldowns could be useful and some of the splash of the 30mm, but to me the addition of the stealth completely overcast any reason at all to use the nightbird for several reasons - its speed and agility was changed at the same time as the launch unannounced (maybe unintended?), the damage that the stealth can do hugely overshadows the nightbird, and only being able to have one attack removes any reason to use it either in comparison.
I've been trying to counter the stealth helis with Rao because others have said it's possible to counter them with him, either I'm doing it wrong (definite possibility) or he really is the most useless specialist of the bunch (in my opinion, he IS useless) and there just doesn't seem much you can do to counter them with a half decent pilot at the controls.
I think when you use the laser-designator (SOFLAM) on them, then whether they are in stealth-mode or not, you should be able to target them.
