Seems like I'm putting 10+ Rounds per person just to get a kill with the 20mm mounted on the night birds as well as the 30mm mounted to the hokum, that is if I even get the kill. I'm finding alot of the times I'm putting a whole volly from the gun before it over heats and not even getting the kill on one single person. The shells just bury them I'm smoke and debris, they stand there. Then walk away if I don't follow up with missiles with the nightbird. It feels like the splash damage isn't there, I get good three round kills when it's direct impact with the player. Anyone else getting these kinda issues.

Its because there are crybabies saying the 20mm and 30mm is too OP. So the devs nerfed these things in the patch and now we have broke vehicles.The attach chopper is a "Soldier killer" if you read the vehicles tab. Now it aint anymore.It seems devs listen to 10% instead of 90%An attack chopper should be deadly and not shooting cotton buds from the sky. I too realized this after the patch. People need to adapt to their surrounding instead of demanding nerves on certain things.Next nerf will be the M5C bolte. Same story because people will cry. In fact the M5c bolte has very light armor and easy to destroy still they will cry about the 30mm capabilities.And again the information of the use of these vehicles say in the vehicles tab "Soldier killer"So as being a soldier on the field you gotta watch out for these things. But instead people will ask for a nerf which will destroy the game.Sad and dumb people. I liked how it was

@Joayubi Well, maybe now the attack heli wont sit at max altitude and just rain cannon shells on infantry while they are out of range for infantry to shoot back.

Game is almost unplayable as infantry because the maps are only made for vehicle farming and not for infantry game play.Any buff to vehicles will just dig the hole deeper for Dice and they will loose even more players than they already have (was it 90% on Steam?).

@L0NGSHOT93 hit reg is , jakcfrag shows it on his one of the latest videos (YouTube link > /MZkbvUKPo_I ). As I know DICE already work to fix that and maybe it will be fixed in closest patch (Removed profanity, keep it pg on the forums) - Atic

I seen that video. It's crazy, what my thing is, it seems to have gotten worse with the heli 20mm/30mm since the last patch.

I was just saying the same thing. People get butt hurt because they die like they should when getting hit by a HV projectile with fragmentation properties. We'll see how broke things get now. Downloading update 3 as I speak.
After update and restart. Immediately got persistent data load failure. But that was fixed with a second restart.
I can say the MBolte 30mm damage, when the hit reg doesn't get you, is still good. No nerf on the firepower aspect that I can tell, seems to have more mobility after receiving a critical hit now.
I'm trying the helis now. Will update as follows.
Still firing a whole burst from the hokum 30mm to kill one person.
Can say that it seams the repair system is a little more responsive then before, I'll have to test it a little more in combat tho to be sure.

@L0NGSHOT93 Much more annoying then 30mm/50mm is Bolte with 30/50 and they did nothing to it. There is only one situation when my butt pain a lot, when attack heli is really high and the only way to take it out is by using heli or jet, AA doesn't work because of the same problem as it's written above.... hit reg. Sometimes it looks like bullets not reaching target that are
too far away

@plfrost22 I have noticed the range of AA. If I'm roughly 500m up the AA rounds stop short but the drop off on that is the same as the range returning fire with the 20mm/30mm so that part doesn't bother me honestly. It allows you to have the air superiority if the opposing team doesn't have good pilots to counter you.

@L0NGSHOT93 Definitely some of the vehicles are unbalanced and for sure most of them (if not all of them) have an upgrades missing.

For example, I think bolte is too tough, it should be destroyed with two M5/Tank shots.
Attack heli can go like thousands meters above the ground and make game completly unbalanced (not in every game you can find amazing pilot) so imo soflam should should have a greater vertical range, horizontal can be the same.
BF42 is set few years after BF4 and.... did you notice there is no thermo/night vision in tanks/scopes? why I can choice between two suppressors that do the exacly same job and have same stats but I'm not able to set thermal scope.

BF42 is unfortunately unbalanced in every direction, vehicles, weapons, maps (breakthrough). To be honest I feel like I play Battlefield 4 early pre-alpha tests with better graphic and with operators instead of classes. That's make me sad but... I still play this game

I can write about everything what is missing in this game, maybe if I get more free time I will make a video called "What Battlefield 4 can do but Battlefield 2042 can't "

I hope they will fix hit reg and poor optymalization vary fast and then I expect to see features/gadgets/weapons that was in BF4 but isn't in BF42

The mounted ones (Apache/Hokum) seem to do well enough but the 30mm on Nightbird is nerfed too hard imo.
Now the miniguns seem to be better but you can't dmg armored vehicles with those.
Splash damage on the 30mm cannon for Nightbird was fine but the splash range was way too high. I don't mind aiming for effect but now even aiming seems pointless with the cannons.

@Daeyon-be the 30mm primary gun for the hokum lost alot of it's effectiveness, requiring twice as many shots in some circumstances to kill one player. Now this could just be a Hit-Reg issue. That will only be reviled I'm time.
