My mistake was not driving towards the gap below the hull first but I thought it would just drop bombs and I'd be ok, albeit very low on health.
I mean seriously, what's the thought process going on here when they put this vehicle in the damn game in its current state?
Double lock on protection and completely OP against armour.
That's why I fear the Javelin coming back with this current Dice team.

That's going to be highly dependent on the skill levels of the pilots though.

@PsubondVery true. Unfortunately, DICE has ignored the repeated feedback about this from you, me, and many others when they asked about the specialist changes.It just proves those feedback requests are nothing more than lip service.
probably 5th time flier was there in that jet.

They will get better with the jets if they manage to practice them when the helicopters do not take their slots.
By playing a lot of air superiority on a portal server for about a week I became significantly better than I was during the video I made above.
People just need the chance to stay on a jet for more than a couple of minutes per round if lucky

Looks like that guy has the active radar missiles so he must have spent a fair amount of time with them.
Getting into an air vehicle these days isn't particularly easy and I rarely see the jets doing anything useful, if there are any in the game at all.
The chopper needs a much shorter time in stealth and a reasonable cooldown before they can use it again. But honestly, what is it even doing in the game? It completely breaks the Rock Paper Scissors approach that DICE are supposed to employ with this game. But, I do love the audio associated with the bomb drops, it's a great sound!!
Stealth choppers are super easy to take out.
Asking for something to be nerfed is kinda lame and lazy.
i reccomend two things;
- try using a different specialist instead of using the same one over and over again expecting a differ result
- try working as a team with your squad as the BF games were originally designed for
That was actually pretty slow to kill you and only bc no one was countering it. If a Lis or some stingers were targetting it, then it would have backed off.
An experienced stealth pilot would use a ToW. Hit you with that first, then bomb you, then finish you with 30mm cannons which would be much faster and the ToW is great offense against the WIldcat since it cant defend against it. Also as a tank you really should have a crew..particularly a repairer and a gunner to counter anyone trying to run up and C5 you.
Stealth helis are harder than they were though, after the lift and manueverability nerfs a while back.
Theyre also 1 shot to a G84 now. They should be a bit more viable again I think once the Specialist revert to the Class system.
"An experienced stealth pilot would use a ToW. Hit you with that first, then bomb you, then finish you with 30mm cannons"
So just making my complaint even more valid, lol!
One pilot can switch between 3 primary attack weapons and have double protection from AA lock-ons.
So balanced!!
As I said though, it takes an experienced pilot to do that effectively, while being aware of other vehicles and being locked by stingers, hacked by raos, targetted by g84's...
It's not that easy to do. Go jump in one and try to farm and see how quickly servers target you once you start farming. Particularly in Breakthrough.
And as I pointed out, a tank shouldnt be able to sit there uncontested. If a tank is being annoying, air attack is the best vehicle counter. Like wise if an attack heli is doing the same, bust out the Wildcat with AA loadout.
Conquest is a terrible mode where you'll almost never get support as a vehicle player. But if you were to tank in Breakthrough you'd typically find youve got Lis, Rao, Irish protecting you.
Even as the tank driver you can go Irish and get out and place some APC's around your tank to at least mitigate the HE bombs.
