Nightbird's miniguns are FAR too effective against Jets (and attack choppers)

The Nightbird's miniguns are pretty much as effective as the wildcat 's dual 30mm cannons against Jets. As you can see in this short clip - https://youtu.be/HZSu7elQjGc [CLIP 5] - despite retreating...

@rainkloud You left out the part that the Nightbird can carry up to two engineers who can repair it while in flight. None of the attack vehicles, including jets, have that ability.

@Shibiwan This doesn't happen often. And if so, it's called teamwork and still can be downed by 1 recoilless.

As for jets, jets would be untouchables if there was no nb, now when they introduce rocket pods for jets? Gl infantry.

    @Man_iLoveFishing Isnt that why they are adding more AA to the game, and making the Wildcat more effective?

    @Man_iLoveFishing Jets are definitely not "untouchable". Being effective with a jet pretty much means engaging enemy vehicles and this often requires you to fly at a fairly low altitude and at low speed, which makes your jet vulnerable to a lot of things (wildcats, TORs and recoiless m5/lissile are a bigger threat to a slow jet vs far more maneuverable nightbird with much smaller hitbox)
