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 ...

I think it's perfect. The speed and stealth are it's natural counters, it has a jammer to prevent lockons from vehicles, and it's speed make it difficult for infantry to lock on anyway. If you hang around after a bombing run, expect to be taken out. Simple! It just requires a different way of playing.
What is it we're always getting quoted by pilots? Oh yeah, skill issue..... 😉
Wow - I must be some sort of mind reader! Posted the above a month ago - and guess what - DICE buffed it because all the pilot sweats complained!
It's now getting INSANE killstreaks with the Kerosene bomb and you can't lock on to it because they added counter measures, and it's way too fast anyway. The DICE pilot fanbois must be happy - they're even posting videos about how OP it is now....

Seems all DICE really care about are OP vehicle killstreaks for their social media channels - forget all the bugs and inbalance issues everyone - they give zero *****
@MADMAC50K The DRAUGR had absolutely no defense against infantry lock ons prior to the latest update; no skill required at all to lock onto a plane with a stinger that has virtually no limit on the vertical range. Now it actually requires a bit of teamwork - soflam is your friend. stop crying
@Metal_Daryl97so just to be clear - prior to the buff, dying in the Draugr was a skill issue? But now that DICE fixed it for you it isn't? So who was crying?
The Draugr is too fast to get any kind of infantry lockon unless the pilot is very careless or unskilled. With infantry lockons now being blocked, the stealth, and the speed of it - basically make it almost impossible to hit as infantry. But I guess that's what you pilot fanbois wanted?
DICE sold it originally as a glass cannon, then completely u-turned on that by buffing the hell out of it....@MADMAC50K I'm speaking as someone who enjoys both hunting down vehicles as infantry and piloting. LIS TGM is still insane against aircraft; crying because stingers can't get you kills screams skill issue. Stingers definitely work against jets/the new drone, unless you are trying to lockon aircraft that's already moved past you and going away from you (which would be silly). Stingers should mostly be a detergent, not get your easy kills. Please grow some skills.
- @Metal_Daryl97 as many videos have shown the Draugr can cross the map in about 5 seconds due to it's speed, so how are you meant to lock on anyway? If the stinger is only a deterrent (I assume you mean that and not detergent?) then why does it exist in the game? If it's only a deterrent, how is it a skill issue? I can get kills with it just fine, but there was absolutely no need to stop lockons from infantry on the Draugr. Speed and Stealth are it's countermeasures, it didn't need anti-lock.
I just love that pilots complained that they were getting killed by infantry, so then DICE buffed it for them, and now it's apparently a skill issue that we can't shoot it down. Look up hypocrisy in the dictionary....
