[EBAA Wildcat] Heavily nerfed !!? Suggestion :: De-nerf it !!

I want to open up a suggestion to de-nerf the EBAA Wildcat ...

I am not sure what has been done with this beautiful vehicle, but I cannot hit nor to destroy any enemy aircrafts with it anymore ... The EBAA Wildcat has been my favourite Vehilce in BF2042, and I try to always grab it asap ...

Months / Some weeks ago I had fished any enemy aircraft with ease, now it is not even possible anymore to "hit" enemy aircraft with the regular 30mm, and especially not with the bigger 35mm cannon. Enemy must be " within 100" meters to hit any bs . . . non-sense !!

The 30mm has really worse spray and overheats way too quickly. I am lesser concerned about overheating, but it does't hit or damage anything anymore . . . Just had a 128 player conquest on Stranded map. Not even close helicopers could be hit, nor jets within "50" (!!!) meters ... what is this ??!! A jet was flying at its slowest speed within 50 meters and I could not hit it .. it was nearly standing still in mid-air . . . !!

The 35mm has been still the worst !!! Very slow traveling rounds . . . an enemy jet was straight infront of me, was flying at its SLOWEST speed and I could not hit it for a single time ... Months ago 4 hits and that jet was gone . . . The 35mm is a better infrantry killer . . .

Neither with the 30mm nor with the 35mm cannon, it is very VERY hard to even hit a standing still helicopter in mid-air . . .

So I am not sure which changes have been made to the EBAA Wildcat, but it clearly feels as it has received A HEAVY NERF, nerfed to the ground . . .

The EBAA Wildcat has become ABSOLUTELY useless against aircraft . . . Just also had a 128 players conquest on Discarded map. Half a dozen aircraft at all times and the Wildcat was lucky to kill maybe 2 planes and 2 choppers in 1200 player tickets. I had used the 30mm as well as the 35mm during this match . . . NOTHING !!

As usually my most kills with the EBAA Wildcat was done via the AT missiles . . . killing ground vehicles . . .

Yeah, an anti-aircraft is specialized to kill ground vehicles rather than killing enemy aircraft . . .

Some weeks ago at Orbital, I killed all enemy aircrafts . . .

De-nerf the Wildcat, it is ridiculous . . . and additionally on 128 player maps, air vehicles lag like bs . . .

30mm cannons need less spray, and the 35mm cannons need higher velocity !!

Thanks.

  • @N3tRunn3r The 30mm has had massive spread for a very long time. The 35mm has had very slow velocity and very little spread since it was added. Nothing has suddenly changed. Without a video, I get the feeling you're not leading your shots.
  • @N3tRunn3r Let me explain:

    It depends of time, you killed most right? Don't expect to get more because there are players smarter than you. Exactly, it's not vehicle. You have aps, you have thermals, you can have cover. But if you are predictable, sorry you die. As nb player, I have no chance solo wildcat anymore unless it's beginner and can't aim. But when someone does, 35 mm obliviates in close range within couple seconds. You have lockons that can spit 2 rockets almost instantly. Read flares and positioning. AC destroyed wc before, now you have aps for that surprise attack. If you die after that, blame your team. Cause once you lockon and ac flares, it's choice is to get away and that is your chance to relocate. So in short, it's you.
