Failed attempt at fixing 50mm on Hind/Condor
Still getting one shot from all ranges from 50mm when I’ve taken any amount of damage. Usually without warning. Still getting blown to bits by 50mm while seeking cover inside buildings. I have to a...

@Zhukov211I think it worked great. They are picked noticeably less often, which is almost purely because people were picking them solely for the 50mm and not to actually transport.
The 50mm is still highly effective against concentrations of infantry and against vehicles. They managed to nerf it without making it useless in my opinion.
Good change overall.
I do not personally believe that the 50mm needs any additional changes at this current point.
I do understand the argument for a blackhawk-esque transport where it only has chainguns and a ton of passengers. Perhaps that can be in addition to the Hind and Condor? We could use some new vehicles anyway, and also increased vehicle limits for 128 players.
@llllKylo_RenllllThanks for proving my point. A “transport” should NOT have any weapon that’s “effective against concentrations of infantry and vehicles” as you put it.
That’s why we have attack helicopters! So on top of attack helicopters we also have the Hind and Condor farming infantry and vehicles. Add to that 30mm cannons on the Bolte, Recon jeep and Hovercraft. This amount of low skill splash damage and vehicle firepower is unseen in any previous BF title. 2042 gameplay for the average infantry player is suffering as a result.
Move the Hind and Condor to attack aircraft spawns where they belong and give us the Blackhawk from portal as a transport.- @Zhukov211 It's "effective", but not devastating. You took my wording too literally; of course an Apache would wreck concentrations of infantry and vehicles far better than the 50mm. My point is that the 50mm exists to fulfill this purpose *to an effective degree,* and having that option is good and healthy for the game because we don't want every piece of gear to always be set up exactly the same way. It is good for people to have variety in their builds because it spices up gameplay.
- @llllKylo_Renllll this is the whole point. Transport should not ever challenge AA.
- @llllKylo_Renllll 100% I would love to see a faster but far more vulnerable transport heli in the form of the BF3 Transport Heli. They really should port some of those vehicles across to 2042.
- @llllKylo_Renllll Genuine question: who the hell are you transporting with the "transport" aircraft. They don't fill the proper role of a "transport". They need vehicle capacity limit removed ASAP to actually spawn people and "transport" people throughout the map.
