Because a nightbird moves much slower than an attack helio and is incredibly easy to kill with an AA rocket if they commit for more than a quick pop shot.
If I wanted easy kills I would pilot a Jet or drive a Tank.
Again this sounds like you dont ever use AA rockets and certainly dont ever fly
@warriorjoyPlus the tanks can be immobilized completely by damage, allowing even more hits to come in during that window (if they are stopped in an exposed location).
Imagine if an aircraft temporary lost all its propulsion and steering due to part damage.
I think we had something like this in BF1
@warriorjoy How does being able to avoid AA missiles make a heli OP or the rockets underpowered? A rocket where a lock is held till impact generally is a one shot on a heli. How dare flares work most of the time. Or are you suggesting something as stupid that all vehicles should have no countermeasures at all?
Any vehicle in this game requires support, I do drive tanks and have the brains not to over extend myself where theres no foot soldiers to cover me.
As was mentioned a dozen times before in this thread just most people dont want to switch up their loadouts - it isnt hard to deter helicopters if they're doing anything other than sitting near the ceiling (which is still easy to handle with another heli or jet if needed as most pilots who would just hover at ceiling are horrible to begin with.
