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.
