DICE Can you do something about the helicopters already?

They are litterally ruining the game for defending teams on Breakthrough. They need some sort of attrition on flares and repairing. Infinite flares with a quick recharge are turning helicopters int...

@Straatford87 can we stop ignoring the elephant in the room?
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.

@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.

@S3SSioN_SoL Then leave stealth and fight back? RN bombs work in stealth which is purely vs ground. Vs other air vehicles it still have to leave stealth. So argument that it hinders in any way air vs air compatibilities is not valid at all. Maybe you engage vs air with bombs only then yes, it will affect performance. Otherwise it just will make it a little more fair for troops to fight back.

  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

    100% agree on 2+3, but for 1) at least with the NTW-50 you can do that already. Not sure about other AP ammo though.

  @LlamaWithKatana I don't know if you know this, but part of what helps the stealth heli win in a 1v1, is its stealth mode. I still think my previous comment addresses the bomb issue quite nicely.
