I will reserve my judgement until I try it this time.
Wildcats often simply failed to do their job so far in 2042.
Even now a well flown helicopter can fly circles around it while the wildcat has either damaged turret or EMP status.
A well flown jet can dump its AGMs and fly away before the wildcat can tell where it came from if the map has enough visual cover. In season 5 the Jets will once again have the dreaded rocket pods that can potentially turn the jets into a threat greater than a nightbird.
I have an idea, since nb haters think that nb is too strong against wildcat? Let's make portal server and I will be wildcat operator meanwhile you try to agm me and even Liz same time, let's see how this would work out. I'm noob with wildcat, I have Maybe 40 hours max on it and only sitting as a passenger.
Going 1v1 against wildcat that is aware of bird and is good will win. Why? Cause I won't even get chance to get close, I will loose at least 40-60hp and hovering above you isn't solution anymore. Switching seat to Lizz needs angle and this makes me easy target for 30mm.

The whole point of the nightbird is that it can easily get to the wildcat while the cat is not yet aware of it and do a checkmate.
I hope nobody is suggesting that a Nightbird will do a head on attack on a wildcat from the front and win.

It is not a defense if it is used to attack and counter the thing that is supposed to be a counter of a flying transport.

The main problem is that wildcat is mostly played by noobs. And very rarely, when aviation begins to rage, it is taken by a good good player who will put aviation in its place.
Destroying an ordinary player on a wildcat with the help of a Nightbird is not difficult. I can attach a gameplay video where you can see how easily the wildcat is destroyed.
Sooner or later, even a good player on the wildcat can be caught when he is distracted by another threat, one AGM hit and the wildcat is checked and checkmate. Naturally, this can only be done with the NightBird.
