Helicopters need a buff

why is it fair that you get flares that barely work that take 20 seconds to reload (and only protect you against the first missile shot) when it’s against 64 other players that all carry stingers with 5 missiles in their inventory? Oh and don’t forget the AA tank and the OVERPOWERED F35.

the little bird is such a disappointment. Compared to bf4 it’s complete garbage. If you played bf4 than I don’t even need to explain the meaning behind what I’m getting at. 
the TTK with the mini guns on bf4 was perfect! 
everything about it is just WEAK. The cannons to the rockets. It takes WAY to many ammo to kill someone.

the tow missile barely has any range. I’m trying to take out a AA gun from long distance with it (like in bf4) but it disappears after 200m or so. But yet he’s able to lock on to me and his cannons hit me. 

another thing, with the whole lobby using stingers isn’t all ready bad enough, imagine adding a specialist (that no one asked for) that can Hack your helicopter from a good distance that causes you to not be able to shoot or DEPLOY FLARES. And next thing you know is you got 8 stingers incoming. You can’t do anything! I usually just throw my controller to the side because there is nothing you can do to evade it.

bring back TV missiles for gunner and ECM jammer. Fix what I said. 
 
I know I’m not the only one complaining about it.

  • @goosesuecsWhile I do understand and partially agree that all the aircraft need some tuning, I think you will shortly find that most people will disagree with your overall point.

    Also, I do not think EA DICE really need to worry about them just yet when they are not game-breaking... they have bigger things they need to fix (read: optimization, scoreboard, teamplay mechanics / features, etc.).  Although they are taking their sweet time doing it.

  • Problem is when AI players are in the aircraft it's impossible to survive against as it is so if they got buffed no point playing

  • Knowing there is an issue with flares right now, I am hesitant to talk about balance just yet. If balance issues exist when everything works as it should then certainly they should look at re-balancing but until that point I would hate to see them tinker with things that may cause more issues down the line.

  • @goosesuecs clearly someones killstreaks were interrupted here....
    i wonder what infnty things about the flying Nightbird drivebys that literally make your game freeze up... i wonder i wonder
  • Having no unlocks for helicopter gunner, just 30mm is a joke. Pilot should only have air to air missile and unguided rockets. Just like in BF3 & BF4, it was working fine there.

    Overall unlocks for vehicles seem very lacking, just as other customizations/guns etc.
