I remember when Infantry was eviscerated to be able to fight back against vehicles. Pilots whined and moaned and flat out lied to make infantry unable to fight back effectively, and DICE caved.
It isnt enough for pilots to have EZMode to fight back against the near defenseless infantry, they want DICE to make other pilots unable to interrupt their ability to sit and pew pew infantry and epeen skill.
I predicted back then, that they would turn on each other and here it is.
Yeah, there is a reason that the NB is jokingly called a flying AA tank
Tell me about it :D
Those wretched nightbirds are so small that it is really hard to land a hit on them with the main guns, so many times the only way to even threaten them is to sacrifice the AGMs for radar missiles.
Meanwhile the jet has a large enough model to be an easy target for the twin miniguns of the nightbird.
By the way. A 25mm General Dynamics GAU-22/A Equalizer autocannon should had been a lot more devastating than 2x 7.62mm miniguns vs a vehicle.
Your aim was pretty bad and you mostly tried to evade by a harsh pitch up/down which shows more of your body.
Cannons can definitely rip a Nightbird apart but those are more effective against other jets when you're both looping - I've always found rockets to be better for whirlybirds since the flare recharge is fairly long
My aim is far from perfect but it's not as bad as you're suggesting - I can easily deal significant damage to aircraft other than dancing nightbirds with the 25mm (and even 30mm) cannon (despite using a controller to aim - no aim assist for vehicles). Even someone with insane aim like SILK mentioned a couple of times how hard it is to be effective vs nightbirds using the 25mm cannon alone. I'd like to to see you do significant damage to those dancing nightbirds with the 25mm.
I've tried different "evasive maneuvers" to highlight that the nightbird can deal considerable damage in all cases. In the very first clip, I didn't pitch up or down and yet the nightbird dealt 95% damage to my jet. If you just fly straight in an attempt to limit the exposed surface area of your jet, the nightbird can simply quickly gain some altitude to counter this (more of jet's surface exposed again).
I remember you from the lis tgm nerf threads - I maintain my position, Lis missile nerf was warranted. You obviously don't fix vehicle-vehicle imbalance by trying to change the infantry-vehicle balance. I actually pointed out the bad nightbird-vs-jet balance long before the whole Lis situation, it's been a issue for a long long time

I disagree. The success percentage of a Lis destroying any vehicle was 10%. That is not a warranted success ratio. As a pilot, you dont experience the misses so you lack the perception of what is warranted. I T1d Lis when the only way to get credit was with the destructive blow. I had no issue with the range nerf. The agility nerf makes the TGM no better then the Recoil.

Correct. You fix infantry-vehicle balance that way. Pilots scream imbalance when they die twice. There wasnt an imbalance with infantry/vehicle, yet you all screamed, whined and lied to eviscerate infantry from having any chance to fight back. Ever notice that when the missions are heavily weighted to heals and revives, that vehicles dont get destroyed? Yeah, balance.

You will pardon me if I don't accept your measures of balance. Pilots believe they should be indestructible without weapon cooldowns to farm infantry. Yes, this has been stated by a pilot on these boards. Pilots want EZMode. Even DICE acknowledges the lack of skill pilots have. I made my last post because I foresaw the pilots whining about someone killing them, and here you are.
Irrelevant. Please go cry about lissiles in the relevant threads. I now exclusively use Lis when piloting because of how effective the TGM is against aircraft.
