Hi.It's really getting out of hand. It's too spammy. Best i've had 4 TV dodge at once but eventually i loose to them cause i has nowhere to go, i can't counter cause person(s) that use, is hidden. So, what are my options now here?Small backstory, i am good pilot and have been piloting since bf3. It's just next level annoyance and penalty for me is to wait and stare screen to get another helo. It can go from 2mins to half game, is it really worth it? When infantry drops, his wait time is 5 seconds and then continues.

I've laugh soo much reading the OP complaining here...I could not resist saying a word.Soo Man_ILoveFishing you pretend to be a good pilot? I don't know, i doubt it but who cares, you describe yourself as a terrible battlefield player.What's soo hilarious in your text? Let's check all of this.First everybody knows in gaming world that "only pilots in BF" are not good pilots....Why will you ask? Because it's easier to farm infantry focused on ground objectives, while most oponents don't have any tool to defend or retaliate....For example playing air superirity would make other players able to play with you... But we all know you're not looking for this as you talk about infantry timer on spawn...BF franchise has some good pilots, but the franchise is well known for attrack bad pilots. The good ones go in other games. Battlefield is farm simulator for "only pilots".Good pilots seek fighting, not fishing in a barrel with grenades....Battlefield 2042 offer the minimum for a pilot, it's barely fun... BUT ! You can farm infantry and get big ratio far more easilly than with anything else in the game. If you like piloting BF2042 is one of the worst game available... No you look to have an advantage ingame that's it. At least don't lie to yourself.You don't agree and pretend to be good? Show me any stronger asset in the game... oups you failed... You use ONLY the strongest part of the game... that's it.Before you bring the second hilarious joke of "bad only pilots".... Battlefield is about vehicules go play COD if you don't like them.... I'll answer it. BF is FPS game, meaning infantry with vehicules support. Not the oposite. It's designed to play mostly infantry and sometimes vehicules but low players prefer to play only vehicules because it help them a lot.Why this thread is halarious?1 - Because you can play as you want, but you're facing a limitation for noobs and complain about it... Yea you have to wait in spawn, but only because you're bad and can't play normally...You don't want 2 minutes waiting in spawn? Play it as intended and don't try to turn it in easy farm simulator.2- Your first sentence... "it's too spammy".... THIS was hilarious from someone who spam rockets on the ground with infinite ammo....In conclusion you want all advantages, using strongest assets for yourself without any penalties....And you claim to be "good" while complaining here ?You can play as you want, but while doing this you penalise your team because they have one less player when you lose minutes in spawn menu. And then you prevent others from accessing the vehicules because you monopolise them. And for bad result (you're complaining aboutt missiles spam and spawn timers) you lose those vehicules fast.In a few lines you've just shown that you're not a good pilot, you're a bad Battlefield player and most important an awfull teammate ruining team's chances with bad behaviour.You should consider playing the game as intended and not twist it to hard to your advantage or go play another game.Thanks for the laugh dude.

@AngrySquid270 wrote:How many infantry AA players should it take to neutralize a heli pilot?Several. I’m tempted to say 10 because the respawn cooldown of a helicopter is about 10x longer than infantry. I’d settle for 4-5. Currently it takes one Rao to prevent you from playing the game. It takes one BS Lis rocket that doesn’t even touch you to take you out.

Yeah it’s rough. Constant hacks and lock-ons and there’s usually an AA camper that sits near their spawn. That’s not even mentioning the enemy aircraft. The people that complain that AA is weak are delusional.Yep. Just played a game where there was a Rao hiding in a bush somewhere and I couldn’t find him. Hacked me all game. Whenever Rao hacks he needs to light up like I scanned him with Paik. Ultimate coward specialist.

@l_Grand_Vizir_l wrote:@-AC-Ju5t1cei love those "héli" threads, you have the funniest over self estim coments you could find, thanks for yours.Silk explain the game is unplayable for many reasons mostly technical points, not because of Lis... Don't make other players talk with your words, it's really sad.Then comes the funny part.So in your opinion, if i do not claim here "i'm soo good" my opinion is invalid? It was not a coment but a statment from myself on how i judge my performance... You have absolutly no clue of how i play.Soo it's only a toxic tennage talk there, grow up.Oh let's go further... you rely on STATS to judge players ?!?!?You know Portal is a farm simulator for many players and stats have absolutly no sense here?You pretend a lot but seem to be really ignorant about this game.It has always been a false inidcator in BF because it does not show what you play, Conquest, Tdm, Air sup, etc etc . This radicaly changes your stats dude. And not considering itjust demonstrates a little more that you are obtuse and only look at what you want. There is no way to debate with someone who's still imature enough to consider a player only on a few numbers especially when stats are twisted like in this BF2042.You have no argument to defend your opinion and instead try some bashing on players who think different from you?"Open my stats or afraid"... Are you really taunting me like a 12 years old ???? Waow congrats, you made me laugh a lot. But please, try to find some solid arguments to debate instead of such childish attitude.Debate... Well It could be a debate, but seing how it goes it's gonna turn in a usual 3-4 players stating they know better and everybody else is wrong and don't understand because only those 3 or 4 players are true players. We, all other scrubs, don't get it because we are stupid of course... blablabla Hopeless, just let this thread die with those 3 or 4 "great players" who spend their time in the spawn screen but have great stats to shame us and gonna bring light to the blind crowd of bad players we are... You already said you’re not the best pilot so your opinion doesn’t matter either.

@Padding_Ur_Stats Nope. You can't outrun Liz rocket with Stealth helo. There is ur error already.

Nope, elevate is too slow.

Nope turning is too slow in helo. I tried both parties and can tell.

@Echo6Echo It's not about respawn times, it's about balance and we know it's not...Against a competent team, a heli doesn't have a chance, which is impalanced. Against a non-caring, casual team, the helis are gods and capable of 100-0 and that's just not right, no matter how slack the other team is....
This is spot on.   DICE gives the community what it needs, however, it doesnt give us 1 thing. The ability to get with our team and strat specialists and gear.   The loadouts are random. Additionally, there are the stat board hores. All they care about is KD so they can epeen. No amount of teamwork will bring in a gamer who uses stats as a self esteem tool.
Teamwork is OP.   Right after the Paik buff, I witnessed 4 (they had to be in discord and grouped up) wipe out 17 others with such skill and precision, I delayed shooting them out of awe.   I sniped 2 of them during the rampage, and they just revived and continued. that was a 1 on 4 scenario, and they wiped the floor with the pugs. I do not count myself in the 17. I was 200 meters away.
In another platform, I participated in 40 man premades with a descending reporting structure and team assignments. Usually a game would take 40 minutes.   We won in 8.
All that being said Echo, the OP complained about teamwork Lis. He wants teamwork nerfed more then it already is.

Yes you can. Seen it 100 times. I have T1'd Lis. Your helo is faster then her rocket. Your helo is more agile then her rocket. Your helo has greater range then her rocket.
This is your problem.
If you cannot do any of these, youre doing something wrong.

@Man_iLoveFishing Helicopters are in the bin now. Can't have anyone getting too skillful with anything and getting 10 or so kills without dying.

Tv missiles are so easy to hit stealth and nightbirds with. I've switched from learning to fly to just using lis because it's more fun to hit other pilots than try to do 1v1s while dealing with a dozen lock ons from the ground, 6 tv missiles flying at you, and the wildcat beaming you across the map. Plus that ridiculously overpowered flak cannon on the wildcat, mav, and ram that will crush you if you're near the ground at all.

@Man_iLoveFishing Man, whenever I see this sort of argument its like telling someone to read a book, doesnt matter if they allready know they don’t want to or not.

With a little bit of practice I surely can fly more than decent, no matter the vehicle but here is the catch: it is just to boring for me, this includes all air vehicles.

It is just not my thing and probably never will, not becouse i can’t but becouse i simply don’t want to.
The MAV for example is the only vehicle I have T1 becouse it can become incredibly strong if a squad works together in this vehicle, I enjoy squadplay and it is fun for me to overcome obstacles together with the tools you are given.

If the tools themselves are useless, even with squadplay, than there is something wrong, no doubt about it.

Liz may be the very first effective counter to air vehicles but this specialist is more effective on the roaming/defending part so you won’t see that much liz players who attack objectives.

Here's a challenge for those that think the TV missile is so good...strap on a Lis and go shoot down a few helos. Make sure to record it and link the video here. We'd all love to see how OP it really is...Also, let us know what your K/D is against the helo...and your accuracy...how many you shot to how many you hit.

@Echo6Echo Yes I switched from pilot that targets enemy team's aircraft to just playing lis because it's much easier to kill enemy aircraft with lis than it is in a 1v1 with another heli.

It's just easier on the ground. You get to spam TV's at the enemy without them even being able to see you most of the time. And it's very easy to hit, and is a one shot kill. It's cheap and overpowered so I'm using it now.

@Padding_Ur_Stats It's how you shoot, if I'm flying away and you shoot behind, you missile travels FASTER, but you are going to be out of range.

Now, if missile is coming from front, tell me theory how fast I can fly away.

@Echo6EchoI can do that, I have max 5 hour on Liz. I can record video today. I already tried and took out some and didn't require much VS learning to operate helo and getting that game sense of survival.
Edit, problem is also, I am warned by rocket and I can dodge, but somehow same rock from my 3rd person view rocket hits me from the side. Whatever spins and rolls I do. Nightbird can dodge better cause of faster roll and smaller size.
