Taking out all opposing aircraft is exactly what you're supposed to do at the beginning of every match if you manage to get the attack aircraft slot. When you establish air superiority it makes the rest of the match much smoother for your team. It has paper armor so I'd say it's balanced.

It is not 1 guy, it is 2 guys working together.
The gunner is a very important source of Anti air damage and EMP grenades that can disable the other vehicles.
The only reasonable complaint about the new helis would be the height that they can drop the bombs from. All the rest of their kit is intentionally having very limited range so they have to get closer than other aircraft.
PS after watching the video.
They were farming blueberries who were not even making any real attempt to fight back, they were only running away.
The cannon of the condors would had 2 shoted the stealth heli without even accounting for the 2 miniguns.

It still stands that it’s possible which is not the case with the nightbird or Apache/hokum.
- @CPT_GASLIGHT If the enemies dont look at their air radar, its possible with every heli to wipe the rest of the air vehicles not very hard. Its the same like in BF4 you were able to do easily 200-0 with heli but if blueberrys were in there they maybe didnt even manage 1 kill before they got shot down. Not everything needs to be nerfed just because theres someone who knows how to use it....

@CPT_GASLIGHTIf all the enemies are as bad as the beginer bots, it is possible that I can get more than 100 kills in a round as infantry. That does not make me an amazing player.
The Nightbird can and will shred other aircraft at the right hands vs bad hands with those insane miniguns of it.A good Apache/Hokun crew will also kill a bad condor that is not fighting back. just a bit slower due to the lack of a pilot gun unless it is a hukun which has that extra 30mm
- direct3r3 years agoSeasoned Ace@CPT_GASLIGHT the new helicopter is way too strong besides that you can easily dodge everything, just go with flares and stealth and switch between them... even liz rocket launcher is difficult to hit this thing with cause it's so agile.

@protoman23Instead it’s mostly farming infantry with 30mm cannons or larger like 99% of the rest of the vehicles in game.
Add to this facts that we don’t reliably hear the 60
ton enemy tank that’s 10 feet away, we sure as hell dont hear enemy aircraft most of the time until we are eating 30mm or 50mm from about 30 yards away. Reliable sounds in 2042 are atrocious and result in almost ZERO situational awareness when it comes to knowing there are enemy vehicles nearby.

for me and my friends personally breakthrough is almost unplayable due to this chopper... it's always the same, this thing comes, kills 40 people atleast per match and you will loose the match like 9 out of 10 times for this reason.
I'm always trying to play RAO and hack this thing, but people found out that can insta-flare after hack and just rush away, so you aren't even able to hit one Anti Air Rocket, and after a short amount of time(cause the hack is not really long) he comes back and kills you, just frustrating...

For what it's worth, you can't flare after a hack, you can flare out of being hacked (as you receive a warning of a hack incoming). Maybe make it so that can't happen/no warning of a hack incoming?
Honestly, based on the video in the OP, I don't see anything wrong with that. They beat up people that weren't even fighting back and a tank that was already low on health.
