Don't you dare Nerf LittleBird without fixing AA

I hear the next patch has a little bird nerf(cause that's what we need), but as it stands now you really have to be lucky that theres not more than one person with an AA Launcher. I just played a ga...

    @Flavin913I suspect that the thing that they will nerf is the Nightbird minigun damage vs helicopters.
    A Nightbird minigun on the right hands can currently deplete the entire health of an attack helicopter that is not piloted by an insane stuntman before the attack heli has the chance to launch a singe heat seeker back.

I mean how strong should heli's be really? How many kills should you get before dying? I am an okay pilot and can usually get 4-5 kills before I die which I think is pretty fair. I don't think you should be able to stay alive in a heli for long periods of time and wrack up dozens of kills like BF4 no matter how good you are.

    Exactly. Air is op as hell atm. This nerf is warranted.

    @master_daffy83 Lol, so you want every vehicle player to only be able to get the same number of kills as you when you're in the vehicle.

    Amazing!

      @zakrocz No, I am saying that I think in general a pilot being able to get 4-5 kills with a heli before dying is pretty fair. A 5-1 kill ratio is pretty good.

        @master_daffy83 Brilliant. It's quite clear what you said.

        You want to dictate how many kills a pilot can get in one life by the number you get in one life.

        I bet you'd be perfectly happy if tanks and choppers all self destructed after a player got 5 kills!

    I mean they are helicopters... and they are shooting missiles.... So yeah I think they should be strong. The argument is that they are so easily countered by AA, So I don't see the problem in littlebirds atm, again the catering to the casual is fine and will always happen.

    The real problems how busted the stingers are, zero lock time after first launch (between flare immune cooldown), sometimes the first missile relocks from Narnia, and sometimes you kill a 100% air vehicle with one Missile.

    My question is if 4-5 is your standard in vehicles, what is your infantry standard? Cause my infantry goals always 4-5 or I feel like I did bad, 4 -5 kills in vehicles is what I usually hope for each time I strafe a capture point honestly (I consider myself well above average)

      @Flavin913 The game has a lot of problems that need attention (other posts have long lists of features that were in other BF games that are missing in this one), the heli/AA balance is not one of them.
