@Flavin913Basically the nightbird nerf was announced in within the context of the nerf of the hovercraft armaments. So my assumption is that this will be the change because the only common thing that the hovercraft and the Nightbird have in common is the minigun.
By the way from about yesterday, there are more and more people who unlock the soflam. So things are just about to get a lot worse for anything that is a vehicle.
The BF2042 soflam is the PLD from BF4. It makes every dumbfire Recoiless launcher to work as the Javelin from BF3/4 and lock on to designated ground and air vehicles.
Personally as someone who has played both the air and anti air side a lot already, I am surprised that they first went for adjusting the Nightbird, when the most troubling aircraft right now are the "Orbital" attack helicopters which can fly as high as possible and farm infantry from so far that not even the guns of the Wildcat can reach them.
The only things that can reach them up there are aircraft and since they have the high ground, a good AH crew can hold their own against any other aircraft right now (because the Jet guns are pathetic compared to the gunner's 360 degree 30mm + the heli pilots IR missiles, which often come back after the flares for a double hit)
