DRAUGR is weak.
Im an avid jet player since bf2 and have always loved to fly instead of walk, i was very excited for the new bomber we are getting only to find myself quite unsure on what their idea was. As of now ...

Regardless of what buffs are given to the Draugr I feel like it's still gonna be weak regardless with how unbalanced the Wildcat is. Currently the Wildcat can just instantly shoot down any aircraft they want with just two button presses unless they're firing at an armored aircraft such as the attack choppers and air transport vehicles. They have really fast reload speeds on their AA missiles and, unlike every other vehicle, the Wildcat has ZERO cool down between AA missile launches meaning that they can fire both missiles at once which will instantly bring any light-armored aircraft down since they only take two hits to get shot down and the Wildcat suffers no penalty for missing both shots due to countermeasures since the Wildcat reloads its missiles so fast they they're both back by time the countermeasures run out.
Also even if they buff the Draugr's missile countermeasures it won't help when a jet is just tailing them since the Draugr has a slower turn rate than normal jets and its wider frame makes it an easier target to shoot at without missing as much. I think that it should have a piece of gear added that allows it to produce a smoke screen trail behind it that lingers for a few moments and any aircraft that flies through it will get temporarily disabled since aircraft engines(especially for jets) can't handle smoke entering their air intakes since it'll typically cause the engine to jam/stall until it is cleared. This would force jets to stop tailing it for a brief moment so it can either break LoS or turn around to target the jet and if the jet decides to ignore the smoke screen their engine will stall causing them to lose the ability to speed up or turn for a bit and they'll slow down during that time.
On top of that buff I feel like the Draugr should have a tweak made to it where if the Draugr is actively climbing in altitude it speeds up past its normal speed and if the Draugr is actively descending in altitude it slows down below its normal without stalling out. This way the Draugr can climb very quickly and get some more time when descending to do it's strikes on troops. However though it should be made to have some restrictions for this behavior so it doesn't accidentally mess up players trying to just simply fly it(maybe even a special mode that allows this type of speed like how the stealth helos have).

You might find this educating
- @UP_Hawxxeye First off, this is on PC with all of the best upgrades which, as everyone else has mentioned, take way too long to get so it's not comparable in the slightest for general gameplay since you'll almost never see a console player physically being able to play like this. Second, the jets on the other team appear to be on console or are low-skilled players with how they're moving and aiming in comparison.
@UplandsystemBeing on PC is irrelevant, if not actually the opposite. The default PC jet controls are abysmal, you need to constantly be moving up/down with jets, which by default is done with the arrow keys or the mouse, both of which are bad for this purpose and you need to change the controls to something else. Keeping a stick pushed in a constant direction, or holding a button (that isn't the arrow keys or any other right-half-of-keyboard key), is much easier.
You don't need any precise aim for the JDAMs.
If your problem with the Draugr is that you need better unlocks and grinding them is slow... Then that's the problem, not the Wildcat. The NNEMPs are bad regardless of whether Wildcats exist or not, removing Wildcats isn't going to make them good.

Aka a bomb that is officially known to be bugged to have smaller than intended blast and does not have the intended burning/igniting aftereffect.
So most of his kills are with the plain old HE cannons.
PS: I do hope you are not trying to unlock stuff for the aircraft on player lobbies. This is far from optimal.
