Helicopter balancing is Pathetic STILL.
I'm so tired of helicopters and air vehicles dominating. What is your deal Dice? Why do you have such a fetish for air vehicles dominating? Even Jets fly like Helicopters in this game! It's ridiculou...

Who'd have thunk the heli-balancing got worse over time.
DICE managed to neuter the Wildcat and NOT be a hard counter against the attack heli anymore. Wildcat even has serious problems against stealth heli's. Shameful.
@Wargame_Enj0yer
Just like they renamed the flying transports to Gunships, the Wildcat should be renamed to Housecat ! They even usually stay back at home (aka the spawn). At the early days they would be truly Wild and go to the front with the rest of the team to hunt prey in both the air and ground !

Almost all my deaths in the Wildcat are at the nearest point to the main spawn. Heli's are just free to camp spawn points. I've lost all good faith in this current incompetent team over at Dice. I'm sure there's a lot of talent concerning the actual Developers, but there's something going on with their management or something.
I'm pretty sure the thought behind Sundance being in the game was just so they could make an "impressive trailer". The one where they break through the window, does a roll, and shoot some enemies. Then they proceeded to add Tornadoes and flying bags to every map... so many things revolving around one stupid game breaking decision. My point is this team has ZERO CLUE when it comes to balancing and how things should function. Air vehicles should fight each other as a primary function, then the reward for winning their fight is poking at ground vehicles. They SHOULDN'T be farming Heavy armor and Infantry whenever and wherever they please. That's just pathetic game design and balancing. The baffling thing is, who are they even catering to?! The 2042 population is not that healthy to begin with, then how many are just exclusively Heli nerds? Are those the whales in this game or something? The guys that no life this game and have been at max level now for several months? I doubt it.
- @RaginSam BF1 and BFV had issues as well. That was mostly because bombs and infantry are a very bad combination, but good pilots could farm infantry almost endlessly (especially in BF1). BF4 had issues with thermals on land/sea-vehicles, so it wasn't without problems either.
Combined warfare is BFs biggest strength but also its biggest weakness. Dice have never found the right formula and I think that now, new players just give up (it is stupid) and many of the BF-vets are just getting tired of seeing the same issues over and over.
