After update 4 on bf2042 the transports are even stronger than before. They were already overpowered to begin with. Lower the damage of the 50mm and mini guns to balance it out. I’m sure a lot of people feel this way.

Yep. Agree strongly with this request.
I have spawned in the Condor or Hind every chance I get since launch.
With a good crew they are unstoppable.
The nose mount weapons should be nerfed.
Miniguns on the side only. No nose weapon slot at all.
This would actually make them more of a "transport" vehicle (their actual game designation) rather than the killing machines they currently are.
I'm an avid transport pilot (because they're so strong) so the fact that I'm advocating for a weapon firepower nerf on these vehicles is a point to note.
I'd prefer gameplay balance over dominance.
I'd like them to be used for transport as intended (god, I wish players would bail rather than camping the weapon slots sometimes) rather than a place to farm kills for the gunners (who NEVER bail over enemy flags when playing conquest or breakthroughand you just end up with even the passenger slots being filled with a permanent repair guy racking up repair points).
It's a transport, make it so.
I'd also like to see the rocket weapon slot on the minibird helicopters nerfed into oblivion. This aircraft is in the transport category. It is an infantry killing machine in the hands of a good pilot. Miniguns only would be a positive change for this aircraft.
Kap.
The transport helicopter is fine as is. They even nerfed the splash damage on the 50mm canon, therefore people can't just spam and get kills anymore with it. With Good pilots and a gunners that actually know what they're doing they can be incredibly strong. However there's more than enough counters to keep them at bay. The problem is there's too many dummies trying to farm infantry with vehicles instead of trying to keep the enemy vehicles at bay. One person using a Soflam, A Rao, A wildcat, and a few players dedicated to AA and AV can easily keep put in work.
Don't worry they probably will remove vehicles entirely for the may update
I just came back after 4 months and it's ridiculous how much air there is spawning, with how powerful they are,
The AA in this game is a joke. Needs some goddamn downtime as Infantry, and I say that as a large vehicle *.. And people wonder why CQC infantry maps were popular in the rest of the series.
I don't.. Completely disagree with you. These large transports are suppose to have a big impact and presence on the battlefield. Its all out warfare means it has vehicles. People need to understand that. They already reduced vehicle count and matches have become bland and vehicles harder to get. Go play team deathmatch in portal instead of complaining about vehicles
