Helicopter balancing is Pathetic STILL.

And another game where two good pilots dominated an entire map map.
You can have a squad of four people dominate every flag but if their team isn't  doing their part they can still lose.

Yet DICE have made a game where the very small percentage of pilots can dominate entire maps.

Honest question to admin on here for DICE - Why have they made the helis so OP? 

Again, you have tools. Complaining here won't do much. Hear your self. 2 vs 64.

I am talking about good pilots.
Yes good pilots can dominate maps.

It was the same since I joined the series with BF3.
It seems it cannot be helped.

To be fair, BF2042 have given the ground forces more tools than any other modern warfare BF game before.

And people REALLY got to try the new Rao hack!

Now it basically gives a complete modular damage to the vehicle.

When I did it on a  nightbird, it basically caught fire and had to retreat  with its tail between its legs!

Good infantry players dominate too. Some of them kill me 6-8 times in a match before i can get them. Same as helicopters. Everyone just has to accept that helicopters are stronger than infantry. Takes time to kill them. All of the frustration comes because you expect to quickly get rid of the bothering helicopter to continue to run headless chicken. You have to dedicate time to kill a helicopter and have to work together with other players/friends. Meanwhile your K/D will go down. Normal stuff. 

OMG there are guitars in this song and they are overpowered! Really? It's a ROCK song...

@VOLBANKER_PC
Have fun tormenting pilots and drivers!
I managed to steal a CAV-Brawler because the driver freaked out so much from the new effects of the hack that he jumped out.

Eventually many pilots will adapt and select Cyber warfare protection but that slot competes with the instant repair so they will have to compromise between anti rao protection and repairs.

And they've given vehicles far more counter measures than any other BF game before.  It's about balance.  And the fact is air vehicles are massively unbalanced right now.  It's not a skill issue, it the fact that engineers can do nothing against dominating air vehicles.  And thanks to DICE, there are even more air vehicles now - but weirdly they forgot to increase gadget ammo (giving 1 extra rocket to only 1 of the engineers doesn't count), and made it harder to pick up gadget ammo....how strange?

We've gone over this.  The tools are ineffective and the game isn't designed to make team combat easy.  It relies too heavily on comms (that people don't use), orders (that people don't give), and ammo (that people don't/can't drop).  Pilots don't have to rely on any of that.  Just hold left mouse, and farm away.  And not all 64 players will have to correct load out to help with a helo problem - or even be anywhere near it to be able to help.  In fact, most players (other than those being farmed) will have no idea.  So it's not 2 vs 64.

Just hold left mouse? For real? Jokes on you bud. What I had to achieve to be good with helo.

Learning it's frame

It's flight mechanisms that has been changed in periods of time

Maps

All incoming danger

All missile timings

Other aircrafts fights, especially dogfights.

Hacks

Safespots in danger

Risky flights in order to survive.

And that all happens in real time.

What you? Lazy to learn Lizz that literally needs only mouse. Continue training.

This is in fact the issue. It's near impossible to coordinate with others to get this done with the tools provided by the game.

Additional air vehicles means more distractions and threats for the rest of the air vehicles. A pilot who does not first ensure air superiority before turning to ground targets will regret it the next time he retreats from the front line after spending their countermeasures on avoiding that stinger. Even a rookie with heatseekers can end them
