It would seem like DICE is prioritizing feedback from "Infantry" players as the maps simply are not in their favor due to the gross lack of cover. Sadly however, their response to this feedback is abysmal considering that pilots have been placed on the side rails of the Battlefield.
Their response to this feedback has also exposed the powerhouse that is the "transport Hind/Condor" when there's no air attack vehicles to keep them in check and has resulted in what's known as a "Trophic Cascade" which essentially means, when a predator is removed, naturally every single species below it will feel significant effects either positive or negative. In this case, the predators of the skies were reduced so much, that their prey, the "transport Hind/Condor" has become the new predators.
A transport Hind/Condor with 2 people manning the Miniguns can completely nullify a Jet from doing anything, the range is simply too good on its Miniguns.
I write more about air vehicle balance here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Now-that-the-50mm-Cannons-have-been-nerfed-the-Hind-Condor/m-p/11626626
Thus, DICE need to restore air attack vehicles to 2/2 or more on certain maps, and/or implement a separate category for Jets.
