A good pilot, is virtually impossible to take down. Infinite flares on rechard just results in the helicopter flying off and waiting for cooldown.You've gotta add some sort of attrition to these choppers or add anti air stationery weapons scattered around the map like in every other Battlefield game.It's no fun having to constantly be farmed by helicopters as an infantry player on the defending team.

@AJ_Clickz The Condor and Hind are absolutely ruining Conquest in any variation of the game mode. I can spend the entire match dedicated to AA and with a descent pilot and couple guys with a repair tool these airframes are nearly impossible to take down.infantry in BF are fodder for these mobile Death Stars.

It's not a particularly fun gameplay loop.I've tried everything at this point to be honest, RAO + SOFLAM same results, as soon as they are hacked retreat. Rince and repeat. It needs to be looked at ASAP as it's just making infantry gameplay frustrating, and the last thing this game needs is frustrating infantry gameplay.

This is also a consequence of the shared jet and heli slots. There is no dedicated aircraft killer always available.There is no bigger threat to a helicopter than a 30mm GAU rotary cannon.If you remove the peregrine falcon from the ecosystem, you will have overpopulating pigeons covering your buildings with their excrement.

@AJ_Clickz i was playing last night and i must say, the HIND we were in was WAY too overpowered. it was fun but was kinda BS. i was repairing and using Lis with recharging tv missiles, another door gunner was doing the same thing and we had good minigunners and 50mm gunner and the pilot was pretty good. it was impossible to kill us even with rao hacking us. that thing is OP and needs to be adjusted

@AJ_Clickz It definitely takes a team effort to take them out. If you are the lone wolf trying to take one out, good luck. However, if you have at least 2 players, you can take one out pretty easily. Rao + Sundance is pretty good. He can hack and she has her grenades.

@AJ_ClickzSorry dude but you have 100+ hours and 25 vehicles destroyed. You're obviously not trying hard enough to take them out and just complaining. This was never an issue in 128 Breakthrough or when defenders and attackers had a similar number of aircraft.

those numbers aren't right (at least for me). my hours played are way low on website and i have thousands of vehicles destroyed but the website showed like 3 last time i looked.

The Hind/Condor should not have the 50mm gun. It's a transport ffs. Or make them squishier, they tank more than ground armored vehicle.

@AJ_Clickz Bruh everyday you are writing here that helis are OP, they are not if you know how to counter them, learn the game.

the only problem is bad asymmetry between attackers and defenders
when one side has to have helis, the other better have lots of wildcats possible.

@AfRo_HoRmEr you can't counter a hind without at least two other people if the pilot is decent and he has someone repairing
