Average pilots are going 40+ kills to zero deaths (good players are doing 80 plus kills a game)
The Little Bird is very fast and can turn at a ridiculous speed.
Players don't try and take it down as it is generally a waste of their time. Many just quit and find another server (seen this happening far more often)
We had more effective tools for the job in BFV.
To be clear, good pilots still put up good scores in BFV but at least players had something.
Obviously this would involve DICE trying to balance the game and it is clear they are not interested.
Aircraft are only "overpowered" because nobody wants to work together in 2042.
In previous titles it was easy to one man army anyone and everything, but, for better or worse, they've taken great strides to make vehicle busting especially a 2+ man operation.
I personally think that combined warfare has become BFs biggest problem.
Dice has always struggled with balancing things and I think especially new players gets put off by combined warfare. It takes some time to learn how to "handle" vehicles and most people don't want to do this anymore. This leaves only the BF-vets and unfortunately that crowd is getting older and smaller each day.
I'm an 'infantry only' player myself and has always been. For me getting instakilled 'out of nowhere', by especially flying vehicles, have gotten old by now (from all the games combined) and with the general lack of PTFO and teamplay, I almost never play BF anymore.
2042 really put the nail in the coffin for me, somehow vehicles seems to be everywhere now, compared to older titles. In older titles the vehicles were there, but you could avoid them much of the time, by moving around the map 'smartly'. The 2042 maps constantly puts you in situations where you cannot do anything but die.
I like BF for the combined warfare (which makes it BF), but how to make it work, I don't know and Dice apparently doesn't either.
Not true.
Heils are OP.
Infantry don't have the tools to do much about them.
Doesn't matter how many of you try the tools for the jobs just aren't there.
Use teamwork to kill vehicles.
Up until the point you actually do. Then I'll just re-label your teamwork as 'spam' and advocate for nerfs.
