MD540-NIGHTBIRD after playing air sup clear it needs help

So after a bunch of rounds and a few created coop games its clear the nightbirds

guns are too slow to hit anything

needs air to air to unlock from the start

could easily set to do less damage to ground troops and vehicles and few adjustments on its hit reg .

just surfing the gun has made it useless

    @Knifekilla The nightbird is worse than the stealth in every way, especially after the nerf. There's no reason to choose it (if given a choice). I can't win a 1-on-1 fight against anything with it in the air unless the other pilot is terrible (granted, I'm not a T1/expert pilot like some folks that can still do well with it).
  • It's not in the best of spots but I don't think it'll take too much to get right

  • I believe that the only tweak the  nightbird needs is to make the guns better at hitting soldiers so that people will use the guns more than the rocket pods

    What he ll need , it's a reworking on maniability. 

    All the wonderful sensation of flying with NB are disappear since the last nerf.

    Anyone are satisfying with the flying ?

    no, we don't need to make it easier to hit infantry.  you might like farming infantry or being farmed by helos but i don't and i know i'm not the only one

  • The cannons have far too much spread and terrible bullet velocity, at least changing those could make it more viable.

    ultimately, it’s strength should be its speed, being able to fly in, accurately burst down enemies then get out, but every helicopter has been made so nimble that the stealth helis equal it in that regard, and it’s cannons are accurate and do more damage so yes, the nightbird is a pointless pick at the moment.


    First though they have to fix the awful controls bug they introduced in 1.0, the automatic rotation without any player input has made them feel drunk.
