Lis nerf - why, when, and what?
No mention of the previously mentioned nerf to Lis against air vehicles in the 6.2 patch notes. So I'm wondering 3 things: Why? Lis is the ONLY infantry effective counter for air vehicles! Wh...

@X-Sunslayer-XI'm talking about infantry counters - not other vehicles. I shouldn't need to use another vehicle to damage aircraft, if AA weapons exist in the game.
Also - the damage from primary weapons since 6.1 update is laughable. Most guns do between 0.15-0.16 damage, meaning an average 41 round mag does a massive 6 damage! And only from a distance of 80m or less. So yeah, utterly useless....
Ohh SOFLAM keeping a pilot constantly spotted? How much damage does that do.....? 😉
@MADMAC50K what makes you believe its balanced for one infantry player on the ground needing to have the ability to easily destroy any vehicle? its much harder to fly a heli and aim simultaneously than for someone to use a POV rocket with insane speed and mobility....
do you see the discrepancy`?

I honestly would not consider the current Liz able to easily destroy vehicles alone. The armor needs more hits than she can carry while the aircraft is plain hard to hit.
As a heli pilot I just /shrug and barrel roll out of the TV missile's way.- @UP_Hawxxeye its easier to use Liz than it is to use the M5 or RPG to dumbfire them its way...
- @X-Sunslayer-X is it balanced that a pilot and gunner can easily farm infantry (and most vehicles) mostly unopposed, whilst constantly receiving improves and buffs from DICE, and nerf to possible counters? Even jets tend to leave other air vehicles alone these days, much easier to target ground targets...
@MADMAC50K
I have honestly not seen any jets in 2042 which do not go first for other jets when they see them. To ignore the enemy jet is to invite a bogey on your tail at a bad time.Perhaps the 6.2 changes will make jets more likely to dogfight than before.
- @UP_Hawxxeye Aren't they buffing the range of jet rockets in 6.2 to 800m? Doesn't sound like an incentive to dog fight to me...
- @MADMAC50K where are these magical pilots who go unopposed the entire round to farm? if your team is struggling against choppers than one might question if your Wildcat is being parked in spawn by a nincompoop but even than there are all the already mentioned ways to deal with said choppers you can choose any and make their existence much worse. and guess what there are 31 or 63 more players in the lobby who could help you do that... yesterday I played a bit of MBT on various maps all it took was one Soflam and one Nightbrid to relegate me to sit in my spawn since I was unable to move up whatsoever 2 players... the soflam alone was next to impossible to deal with since now every rocket is a lock on from other vehicles and the shoulder-fired ones I can't defend against this outside using the APS or thermal smoke but once its on cooldown I have to be in hard cover again or die....
@X-Sunslayer-Xsince the Wildcat nerf, it's easier pray for an attack chopper, but again, not interested in relying on vehicles or teammates, who seem mostly just concerned with weekly missions, K/D, or having their own battles (PTFO - remember that?). Hard to PTFO when you have to switch specialists and loadouts just to help deal with a chopper that will respawn in a few mins time. So why bother?
I ain't alone in feeling air vehicles are waaay OP. There are countless threads and reddit posts that DICE seem to conveniently ignore whilst continuing to buff pilots and nerf infantry. This is the most unbalanced version of Battlefield, and I've played them all since 2004.
- @MADMAC50K good jet pilots have never targetted other jets pilots unless they get attacked.
why bother attacking a jet on the other side when you can both spend the entire round farming infantry with guns or rockets or bombs (depending on the game you're playing).
