Overpowered Vehicles especially Helicopters - Solutions

Sounds like you want a infantry only experience and you can have that on Portal.

Yes it pops flares and hide like when you get shot you hide and heal. Sorry it wont stand still in the open.

Sometimes i think its overpowered sometimes i think its not. You have no idea the amount of lock ons you get in majority of servers. Making you fly around to kill 1 max 2 guys per minute. Stingers are way buffed compared with their bf4, bf3 versions.

Make miniguns useful and remove the zunis could be the answer.

But don't starting asking it to be balanced at the point a infantry player can solo it. They already did that with tanks.

Remember its a vehicle, its a mass destruction weapon, it is in the game to kill a lot, People ask for vehicles nerf since 1942 simple don't understand that,

5 minutes spawn? Every match is around 10 minutes and only 2 players could have the chance to fly the helos? No, thanks

Flares need to come back slower, sure, but the helicopters in BF4 were way more powerful. They have a solid place here and can be incredibly dangerous in the hands of a good pilot. I also enjoy the stinger damage, you can punish pilot mains and not have them survive the entire match like you can in BF3/BF4/BF1/BF5. I think their low health pool was a great idea. They're not tanks, they're air vehicles. You do know that bullets take down helicopters very frequently in real life, right? Not to say this game is realistic, but even an armored helicopter couldn't take 2000 7.62 or 400 .50 BMG cartridges and just fly away and hide behind a hill for a minute. Stingers having only a 400 meter range also makes it so a helicopter can just climb and be impervious to locks. If anything, bring back ECMs. You hit them, it stops the lock and you can leave the area. But if you stay, the lengthy comeback timer will drop you. Orbital is the perfect map for helicopters with plenty of places they can hide and dip behind cover. Air should be a skill based vehicle system for once. Praise the good pilots. I was able to just pick up a littlebird in BF4 and go wild with it on day one. It didn't seem right.

You want solutions? The main solution is for enough people to have the will to do something about the enemy aircraft. these are 64 people teams, the fact that probably a single digit number of them does anything about the vehicles that are regularly killing them is suggesting the problem is elsewhere.

ive had 2 very different matchs in the attack chopper one where everyone ignored me maybe cept one guy trying his damess to get me down i must of gotten over 60plus kills cause i ended up getting the apex predator tag . no one dd a dam thing . the next match i had i couldnt even get in the air for a min it was lock lock lock auto following nades and stuff, the prob is if no one in ur match cares your gonna have a bad time

Lol one thread saying helicoptors need huge buffs and another saying they need huge nerfing.

This is why I only wanted to play solo.

A single SOFLAM chad can certainly make vehicles of all types near obsolete. You just need 2 AA users to attack a bird - they'll go down quick especially when you can pretty much guarantee a hit every 2 missiles

i also think once people start unlocking the soflam even the the m5 rocket will chase
