The littlebird getting moved was a huge error. Now the condors / Hinds just run the map. They're way to stacked on armor and way to much damage. Just delete the transport category or move the littlebird back. Regardless the condor / hinds have way to much armor, move too quickly and do way to much damage, and there's no alternative option except the hind / condor in transport catagory. It completely ruins the point of it. It's not a transport, people sit in them and farm easy kills because it take about 6 rockets to bring down, and if there's two people repairing it, it just flies off and heals. What a dumb move.

Hello @AuMordumI don't agree with the Nightbird being changed back. Im pilot and Nightbird is indeed Attack Heli and not Transport..To Condor and Superhind... Yes those need to get a little nerf and Im sure Dev Team listen to the Feedback and that we will see some changes but nothing confirmed or said by Team at this moment.. 🙂

I view it more as an attack also. Thing can wrack up the kills on the ground

@AuMordum Completely disagree moving the Nightbird to the combat category was absolutely the correct move as it wasn't used for transport but almost exclusively for attacking and it was better at attacking that the attack heli.

@Noodlesocks That's actually in the plans for the next update according to @T0TALfps the classification changes for MAV and transport didn't make it into this patch but should be in there in May, apparently.

It had the benefit of being super maneuverable and a decent attacker (although I'd say that the transport choppers have a higher potential for being more damaging across the entire battlefield with a full load of players in it).

Move MAV to transport or reduce the number of transport available.

If they keep the littlebird in attack, I think they need to increase the number of available attack spawns and decrease transport, and gi e the littlebird a little boost in armor and maybe give it an AA rocket. The whole air dynamic is ruined right now

@AuMordum If they move little bird back they need to allow whole team to select as spawn point

That would actually be cool. I feel like it could logically hold 5 people

It is absolutely hilarious to me that people call the nightbird an attack chopper but a literal gunship with 3 different guns is a "transport". Both have the same amount of passenger seats.
