Hind and Condor dominate every game mode.
Long time Engi player and I’m usually one of the only guys that goes AA an entire match playing 2042. Infantry in 2042 exist as fodder for vehicles. Every single Conquest match has too many mob...

@S3SSioN_SoLI agree with lots of what you said, and use a Hind as an air superiority weapon regularly. I don’t agree with the verticality comment. Having hunted many condors, they can out climb and have a higher max altitude than the Hind. Once it descends the Hind will own him on maneuvering, but vertically the Condor has an advantage. It also sucks that the pilot gets squat besides passenger kills, if you beat up the map for a whole round it should be worth more than 9k points. The Condor and Hind need a nerf that’s for sure. It needs to keep its health so it can still transport troops into a hot LZ, but it’s weapons could be nerfed without taking away its purpose.
Another problem - nobody is going to pick up a fully nerfed Condor above Attack Heli from the Aerial Vehicles pool. Condor has to be in the transport vehicles section. The section should be divided into Transport (including nerfed Hind/Condor ) - Armored - Attack Helis - Jets. The game could become then relatively more playable for Infantry, and more balanced.
The Omni present mini Death Stars(Condor and Hind) are the current Meta. They can beat any attack chopper head to head and even beat AA tanks head to head.
Broken AF!
There’s a lot of discrepancies. The 20 mm cannons on the helicopters and 30 mm on the stealth helicopters all have splash damage but neither the 25 mm or 30 mm on the jets have splash damage.
