the stealth is already a major problem in breakthrough and it's going to get a LOT worse if Rao gets locked out of a stinger and most of the rest of the infantry can't have a stinger.
It is crucial that DICE realize this. Which of course means they will likely ignore the multiple warnings and advice about this.
Vehicles should take more than one person to kill. It’s called team work.
Rao can't kill a stealth helicopter or transport solo right now. but he CAN chase them off the objective. if the pilot knows rao doesn't have a stinger they don't have to run away if they get hacked. the hack tells the pilot where rao is so the helo can just wait out the hack and then kill rao since there's no cover to hide under on a lot of maps. if rao has a stinger then he is a credible threat and the helicopter has to run away from the objective for a bit and then use bombs to try to kill rao and not 30mm cannons since he knows rao can't shoot back and the firewall will protect helicopter from another hack

I’m pondering wether or not the hack should reveal your location.
would be interesting if to reveal a hackers location you had to triangulate the hackers location. I.e hacking consecutively within a short amount of time would reveal you, but spacing it out would reduce the possibility of being revealed.
this would give the hacker a on e breathing space from too over powered helos.
