Is this a feature? A stinger should not kill a pilot whilst in the cockpit.

This completely nullifies the Night Bird's place as an Air Attack Vehicle if it the Pilot has the same survival rate as someone in a "Light Vehicle". Maybe it's a bug, look at the video and see for ...

@S3SSioN_SoL a Stinger should one shot a Little Bird. Instead of just killing the pilot, it should get a vehicle destroyed credit.

@Adamonic Not gonna lie... that's super harsh... I'd totally agree if the Night Bird wasn't in the Air Attack Vehicle category but because it is... Why would you ever take the Night Bird over something that can survive at least 1 stinger missile. For instance this "bug", I'm never taking the Night Bird, because its pointless if there's a chance I just get knocked out the cockpit.

  @S3SSioN_SoL OK for the game, it should take two. IRL one Stinger is taking it down.
  
  I think they nerfed it too much before and it should be in its own scout category.

    @Adamonic It should never have been taken out of the transport category. It was an infantry pillager on release, and it still can be. You can snipe a pilot out of a Nightbird so shooting a rocket in the window would do the same thing. It looks like the rocket hit on the side so probably did kill the pilot.
