Game balance feedback.

I think part of the problem may be the that DICE lacks any 'ace' pilots on their play testing teams - at least not anyone that can expose the full potential of the air vehicles within only a few weeks of testing.

I'd laugh if they've got systems to track performance for the whole population and look at averages in terms of time pilots keep their helicopters alive and kills/assists. Because I guarantee you that, given that there are a ton of terrible pilots bringing the average down, the average number actually looks pretty good and like there's no real problem! But when you actually start using meaningful metrics and looking at mean/mode and various performance groups (low-end, high-end, extreme high etc.) that there's a lot more data showing the problems.

But I've been thinking about this a lot as well. Like...what if DICE just doesn't have any decent pilots in their test-pool? Or like...many decent players at all? It would sure explain a lot of the design decisions they've made pre and post-launch.

Yep. Cause I know that I personally have no business trying to pilot anything.

@TTZ_Dipsyyou say that stealth helos “Should be a non issue” if we only utilized teamwork, yet it’s clear to anyone thats putting a few hours into 2042 every day, anyone that’s played Battlefield the last 10 to 15 years, that stealth Helos are obscenely OP. 

And FYI, nerfing the 30mm isn’t going to change the fact that these airframes are still disgustingly overpowered. It’s the same as DICE’s token attempt at fixing the Hind and Condor by nerfing the 50mm. Still broken OP, still game breaking, still farming infantry but now with 40mm spam. 

Out of curiosity, how long have you been playing Battlefield? Are you playing 2042 on a daily basis? 

Are we to understand your premise is that these helos are fine and that those of us with thousands of hours playing as Engineer archetype the last 20 years of Battlefield just need to “learn to play”? That it’s “just a teamwork issue”?

This is still happening in Exposure BT, defenders need a helo.

The other team tried, multiple Rao's, Lis rockets, 5-6 with AA, but they couldn't do anything against these two in the Hind. How is this balanced? This ruins the game, even for the attackers. Capping points was way too easy, everyone was dead.
