Jets Have Balance Issues
I've gotten Mastery Level 2 on each jet in Battlefield 2042, so I've noticed some glaring issues that need fixing. I must say though, that I'm actually optimistic about them getting fixed as long as ...
Here's my input on these issues:
1. Remove the spread increase, increase the bullet velocity, and increase damage for the 30mm. It's embarrassing how little damage it does to anything, and it only gets worse the longer you try to shoot. The velocity increase is needed to be more effective fighting helis, since they can dodge rounds so easily right now.
2. Fighter jets used to have rockets in BF3, but that was imbalanced against AA. Dumb bombs could be good if they let you do it in 3rd person, as it was very clunky in BF4 IMO.
3. Being able to resize the minimap would also help with this. Yet another feature lost for no good reason.
4. Haven't had many dogfights, so I can't really comment on this. But the heli flight ceilings need to be lowered like they were in past BFs. Jets need the verticality to counter the helis maneuverability, but having a chopper hover at the altitude where your jet turns to molasses means you can only attack from below, giving them a completely unneeded advantage. Plus it would also reduce the 1 man gunner spraying from outside AA range.
