Helicopter nerf unwarranted - Unpopular opinion?

Im not sure what peoples problems with the helicopters was and I'm questioning how many of those people who complained actually played previous BF titles. In past battlefield games when there was ...

@Glowtape_be Bro helis are not OP, they use it as a AC-130 because there is no other way to get kills, as soon as i get close to the ground someone locks on me.
There is literally too many people running around with stingers you simply cannot get close and please remember FLARES ARE NOT WORKING.
Right now helis are nerfed to the ground you cannot cry about them being OP because in bf4 and bf3 they were a lot better than this.

@SkyL4Ncer21 form me it seems that flairs are working good enough

sometimes I shoot around 20+ rockets in one round and get maybe 2 to 3 hits.... (and no kills on player maybe a vehicle destroyed)

but on the other side I get killed by helicopter 20+ times… do I complain?

No, I try to adapt the situation and I still learning all the good spots on a map against Air and Ground Vehicle

Also, since the patch it feels that the range of AA before you lock on is shorter and the lock on time seems a little bit longer, but in this I’m still investing in

@CountSero First of all Flares are not working as intended, look at the patch notes of December 3.
Second, AAs overpowered as hell thanks to the flares issues, instead of nerfing the helis they should buff them.

  Exactly. Nothing to see here people just terrible players crying "overpowered" about everything that kills them. Get good, or GTFO.

    Why are people complaining about the nightbird being nerfed? The nightbird was never nerfed.
    It was only fixed. Now it's balanced. Thank you devs.
    If any of these PrO PiLoTs are actually gOoD then the fix won't be a problem at all. Though it appears the update has revealed who the real pilots actually are, and who just simply abused something that needed to be fixed.
    Skilless aerial spam is the worst thing in the game by far; with these fixes + everyone already being able to equip AA Stingers (that works completely as intended) the game feels much better now for soldiers on the ground. Give your boi Rao a Stinger and it's game over for hacked helis lol.
    A light transport helicopter shouldn't be a mini Apache. Simple as that.
