Source: latest podcast "Episode 12: Vehicle Loadout Rework". One of the devs mentioned that they were buffing the wildcat's 30mm cannons on the podcast. More specifically, he said: "I think the wild...

@Metal_Daryl97 It does kindof needs a buff, hitting the nightbird from medium range isnt enough to down it, too many shots go past it even if you're dead accurate.

Besides, jets get rocketpods. DPS over range will get to be really important then for both sides. Kindof like in BF4.

    If the performance of the wildcat's dual cannons needs to be improved against nightbirds, then the cannons can be buffed SPECIFICALLY against NIGHTBIRDS; the 30mms definitely need to be nerfed vs the other choppers and jets.

      @Metal_Daryl97 The simple solution is to nerf the Nightbird. It has a tiny hitbox, insane agility, laser beams, and carry its own repair crew. It should at least have a downside of being fragile....

        @Shibiwan The NB needs a nerf every way you look at it. That what you said and it currently dominates all the other helicopters, shreds jets that try to attack it and can do the same as the attack heli and stealth heli but better with less risk WITH reppers on.

      @SpudBug It definitely has spread, and the bullets from the dual cannon magically disappear at 600-700 (?) meters, I dont know the exacts.

        @Wargame_Enj0yer The 30mm cannon as a max range of 700m. That is usually enough to cover about 1/2 the distance between spawns on most of the smaller maps.
