Jet Afterburner change feedback
It's really hard to tell what the reason is behind this change, afterburner now uses up extremely fast, which wont give you any meaningful advantage. Dogfight has become even more braindead than it ...

@MADMAC50K have you actually been killed by jets as infantry enough to see it as a problem? if so you're the first person i've heard say this
@Crispi_Muffin That was not his point. Airboys cry again and within 24 hours it's fixed.
- @Dutchie-Mario trust me, this isn't the only thing thats widely complained about for jets. there are still an enormous list of issues that still need fixing, but i can see why this one was addressed quickly since its only server side, and to be fair, kinda deprived jets of any purpose if they were forced to go slow all the time
@Dutchie-Mario
Because this patch change for the jet is basically like if someone restricted your sprint to 3 seconds via a stamina bar. Just consider how that would feel for your gameplay on a large CQ map? Especially if you are under fire with no cover in sight- @UP_Hawxxeye Yes I get that, it's no real problem for.me. It s just there are more freaky things in this season people complaining about like the stupid battle pass progression or 1.nade for.underbarrel, but that won't be fixed within 24 hours?
@UP_Hawxxeye Or, I dunno, like someone had nerfed the speed and turning ability of your anti-vehicle rocket like they did with Lis? And yet, that nerf has still not been reversed months later....
I'm not sure what to say but even with the afterburner server side increase the jets feel slow and clunky. They feel like a truck with a transmission problem. Even when you use your afterburner to come in fast or get out fast it just feels awful. Please revisit previous modern battlefield 3/4 jet handling. I'm not enjoying how easy we are dead if we make a single mistake. It makes it harder to want to attack when you are just going get shredded the moment you fly in to attack another jet from the ground. Who can bait their flying boat over the wildcats first has become the play.... It's way harder to bait enemy pilots out away from wildcats or enemy bases without extra air speed.
Regardless Dice thanks for making them somewhat useful again. I'm not sure why we always go forward and backwards on changes. Jets needed to be improved or left alone. I would argue the only change jets needed was to have additional types of jets or weapons. Nobody asked for a pondhawk.

I agree that both of these things should had been fixed already. I am quite frustrated with the grenade launcher one in particular, did we got any statements for them yet?
As about the Lis missile, I am also annoyed about that one, but I sitll manage to land hits on the gunships (the FarmBirds are hard to hit though) I hope they will realize the turning speed needs to go back where it was.
