Can we please remove these things in the next patch?Not sure what Dice's obsession with Helos and snipers is but between the little birds and the gunships that is enough.Or at least give us some infantry only maps.Oh, and a server browser / server filter would be great. This way we don't get stuck mashing the cancel button to avoid Hourglass.

@Tank2042Man I'm going to try some conquest to see how lis is after update. If she is good i will salt mine some stealth pilots ( now that the missile will actually turn)

@LS5_71 I’ll always support a thread calling for a server browser! The entire community agrees with you on this, give or take a couple of negative Nancies. The simple answer for the stealth is to make the soflam, with its directed laser, to be able to lock on. Stealth tech won’t prevent a line of sight weapon, so not sure why it does in this game.

@LS5_71 Some rounds I play in a tank can be amazing but usually only if the attack chopper pilots aren't very good and no sweaty crew is manning the mini Gunships all round.Then I can engage in fierce competitive battles with both infantry and other vehicles.Would be good to have some maps that don't feature aircraft.

@LS5_71Next patch has some interesting changes incoming. Nightbird is getting nerfed a bit, It definitely needed it. Lis is getting a buff to her rocket."Stealth Helicopters will now have the repair and flare equipment under the same slot. It's dangerous to go alone, choose wisely."It should be an interesting update.I've been wanting some maps without any air vehicles too. I would say transport only, but we all know what that looks like in 2042. Getting farmed from a Heli is ONLY fun for the pilot and no one else.

I like the nerfs. It gives me a chance on the ground to survive.

Enough of the Stealth Helicopters

@LS5_71 next patch the stealth helis will have to pick between repair and flares.
Combined with the liz missile buff (the liz missile was made to counter the stealth heli) the stealth helis will have a lot more risk in their use

@UP_Hawxxeye Great news - those choppers had way too much gear - stealth, flares and repair and then also super fast. Rao hack + stinger lock and fly time he was out of reach or flare reload done and he could launch again. The math in this was way wrong ! Not sure after this next patch how Rao will be. I only played as Rao but if I now have to be sniper (not my thing) I doubt I will continue as him. He is the only one that can break the stealth on those choppers. We will all have to learn to play the game again.

plus the stealth can't hide at high altitude anymore.
