@RickLionsHeart42We believe that a split from the helicopters is on the drawing board right now (yeah I know it is really hard to program it :kappa)
Personally as a jet pilot I have a hard time keeping sight of enemy helicopters when they have the ground as their background. I wish the HUD could kind of scan and put squares around enemy aircraft within a cone ahead of you at X range in the first person view.Dedicated slot for jets? Sure
Buff jets versus armor and infantry? No
- @AngrySquid270 The interesting thing is that the 25 mm jet cannon is actually really lethal to infantry right now if one is precise.
It presents the player with a clear choice between being able to laserbeam infantry, aircraft and light vehicles with the 25mm or to be able to damage armored vehicles with the 30mm @RickLionsHeart42 Well, you turned down, maybe in addition a pack of unguided rockets to iron the earth! A jet is needed to gain air superiority, and not to bend the entire enemy team. AGM missiles generally need to be nerfed, as they are too easy to destroy vehicles.
- @AlkaniusRUS They were nerfed a lot already. A tank at 100% health will outheal the damage from the AGM before the jet is able to use more.
It used to be the case that the Jet could pound tanks with AGMs at a much higher frequency per minute.
Now for a jet to 1vs1 a tank, it takes switching to the 30mm for armor damage. Thanks to the buff to the 25mm, people stopped using the 30mm now.
Oh yeah I would not like to see a return of rocket pods on jets! They would become anti everything with rocket pods. @UP_Hawxxeye Only the AGM reload time has been nerfed, but the damage from them is unjustifiably high 35-40% of life !! And countermeasures do not give a 100% guarantee of evading a missile. The anti-aircraft gun does not even have time to turn the tower behind the fighter. And if the AGM inflicts damage, then you will generally be inhibited. I am glad that they increased the targeting range of air-to-air missiles. In any case, the fighter is now superior to ground vehicles, it cannot be strengthened.
@AlkaniusRUS
I have honestly not seen a jet attacking anti aircraft tanks since way before the AGM nerf. That nerf was so clever that it almost feels unlike what DICE would do.Twice the 35-40% is still less than 100% It gives time to recover unless the jet also has 30mm at the cost of being worse vs all that is not a tank.
That said if there is a case of jets beating AA tanks at 1vs1 then this is more of grounds for a buff to the AA guns of the AA tanks to make them even stronger up close (which will affect mostly a jet making a dive) than a case of a nerf to the jets.
- @UP_Hawxxeye I would say we need at all more vehicles per match + all vehicles need a buff. They are all weak, mainly if the teams know what they are doing. AA would be much better already if the turning speed of the canons would be higher, so you can follow air vehicles and so on. Pretty sad how the current state of vehicles are in my opinion. I used to play much vehicles in past battlefields, but in bf2042 its really no fun, so i stick to tdm
@UP_Hawxxeye If the pilot is not stupid, then he goes to the anti-aircraft gun when she is not waiting for him. Calculating anti-aircraft guns is not difficult at all using bullet tracers. As a result, sitting in the anti-aircraft gun, you don’t know from what height the AGM was aimed, the countermeasure action window is 1 second. I didn’t launch a countermeasure at the right time and the pilot will re-introduce AGM. I don't want to say that the pilot will win 1v1 against flak. He just appears at the wrong moment and bites painfully without fear of getting an answer.
- @RickLionsHeart42 I agree with all of these. I thought it would be cool if they added 2 types of 30mm ammo, 1 being AP (depleted uranium armor-piercing) for killing tanks, and the 2nd being HEI (High Explosive Incendiary) for infantry.
