Helicopter balancing is Pathetic STILL.

@RaginSamThe stationary AA guns in both 1 and V were decent and when manned could pretty easily defeat air. Not every time mind you, some pilots are just good, but usually. Since they don’t give us stationaries in 2042, the only option is the Wildcat and as you’ve said, it’s nerfed into the ground. All we’re asking is a viable counter Dice!

You bring up a good point. You could capture a point and then defend that area with a stationary AA gun. That's what good game design looks like. It was an extremely boring and tedious task to sit there and wait for a plane to actually get close enough to shoot it down, but it was at least an effective tool. What would usually happen is that pilot would avoid that part of the map. Not the perfect solution, but more then we have now it feels like.

Everything that was effective in 2042 has been nerfed or just taken away. The class system limiting who can carry stingers was a huge misstep. Nerfing the Rorsch into oblivion against any vehicle. The nerfs to the Wildcat...

They did add that new turret to Reclaimed, but it's in a pretty awkward spot and still can get out gunned by a heli if you just blink at the wrong time. I also noticed that helis can lock onto you before they're even visible on your screen or through structures somehow. It also shoots the slowest projectiles, seriously It's like paint ball velocity. It's just really bad game design forcing someone to sit still in one spot, just to stop 1-2 people from completely dominating the entire lobby. Waiting on them to make a big mistake, which even a slightly above average pilot won't put themselves in that situation.
