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...

Nothing justifies how DICE always-always makes air units too strong compared to infantry.
It is a matter of numbers, the aircraft per team are counted in the fingers of one hand (sometimes the sum of the aircraft of both teams) while the infantry per team are between 16 and 64.
How would the game be if each soldier equaled one aircraft in firepower? Vehicles were invented to surpass the limitations of the human body and the individual.
The better infantry players already surpass most vehicles in total kills in most cases (they may just die more). How do they manage that? Because they only have to wait 12 sec to return to the battle in the case of death (not counting the travel time) and that is if they do not get revived.
The matter is that there must be a balance that both prevents a pilot from being an immortal slaughtering machine that can negate all reprisal (" because they got skillz" ) like the BF3 Jets and to also not reduce aircraft to something that is just good enough for traversing the terrain faster before ditching them.
It is always harder to find that balance in modern wars due to the need to balance the homing missiles instead of just skillshots.
Earlier in this game it was possible to down choppers every now and then using wildcat but now if for some weird reason you manages to down chopper, it's like a christmas, a very rare happening. And it's not tactic bs, it's just weak clawless cat and very powerful air vehicles fighting each other.
It seems that everything below 60-0 KD for pilots is bad and Dice agrees it. If you look at the scoreboards in games, it's pretty much always the one having high kd to be a pilot.
I'm pretty sure, I've not got worse player during time and still it has been getting harder and harder to scratch air vehicles.
@KompuraThis is one of the side effects of balancing based on telemetry ☹️
Nobody picks attack helicopters? lets nerf the wildcats best gun vs them!

I play mostly infantry but really enjoy having all kinds of vehicles in the game. They add to the atmosphere a lot.
Whenever i fly a heli, i get shot down by other vehicles/engineers in 20 seconds.
Whenever i ride a ground vehicle i get shot down by air vehicles fairly quickly.
This tells me BOTH sides need practice.
Which one is more powered? I don't know yet, I haven't put in the time into either.
If you are infantry and get bombed from the air often, it is normal.Flying machines are stronger than infantry. While running headless chicken between buildings, look up sometimes.
It supposed to be challenging to run headless chicken. That is what battleFIELD is about.Back to the topic: probably one side is a bit overpowered (always) but hope they get it close to 50-50. You still need skills.
