@Padding_Ur_StatsWrong, DICE clearly saw that it was too easy for players to just spawn in as Lis and one-shot-kill an enemy scout/stealth heli. (Even jets weren't safe after the absurd range buff.) I know because I was doing exactly this with Lis whenever I got killed by a heli or jet pilot. There was effectively zero counterplay to a good Lis player determined to kill enemy air.
Lis can still one-shot-kill those air vehicles, but it now requires being somewhat closer in range and good timing... so yeah, they wanted some more skill involved. You people seem to think that any one of the 64 players on a team should be able to spawn in and instantly delete enemy air vehicles with the press of a button. Why? What would be the point of including any vehicles if you just allow players to destroy them too easily? It needs to require at least some base level of skill. It shouldn't be too easy or too hard. Last patch it was waaaay too easy lol.

Yet, they said they're increasing the Lis skill cap for pilots. Hmmmm. The reason for Bug Helos and Jets getting owned was because they slowed down or hovered over nodes making them easy pickings. Pilots chose to give up their speed and agility to farm targets. This is called, Bad Piloting 101. Yet, Pilots continued to fly poorly and complain they died. So DICE Nerf Lis so pilots could continue to fly like an unskilled noob, get easy kills, then epeen the stat board at the end of the game. Yes, we all know why the nerf happend. DICE believes pilots cannot increase their skill cap, and therefore, assigned it to infantry.

Yes, they wanted more skill, to (and I am quoting) "Ease up on the pilot experience". The range wasn't a huge issue, the agility of the missile is. You see son, good pilots never had a problem dodging missiles because, and pay close attention now, they didn't give up their defense for offense.

Because their high speed and agility make them so hard to kill. Oh Wait, you don't understand the gift you have. You just want to hover and shoot enemies who cant attack you back. That being said, you have 2 helos that are basically glass bubbles and you think they shouldn't be 1 hit by an explosive? Jets are debatable, but Bug Helos should go down on 1 hit. They're glass cannons, literally

You mean like hovering and farming infantry easy? The irony of your statement is like golden buttered deliciousness served in the morning. We get is son. So did DICE.

Lots of stuff
@Padding_Ur_StatsAll nonsense responses as usual, but I expect nothing less from players who don't learn to play the game lol.
I play every role, whether it's infantry or vehicle. I learn the strengths and weaknesses and adapt, which is how you're expected to play games in general. If you're complaining about helicopters being "OP" vs infantry, then you've already lost the argument and you must have been complaining about vehicles in literally every BF game before. Instead of going to the internet to whine and complain, you could sit down, take a breath, and analyze your options/tools provided in-game.
Ah well, whiners gonna whine.

Got it. You have no relevant information to rebuttal the information so you're just going to dismiss and epeen. I see your white flag and accept it. I would bet dollars to donuts you're the troll who posts in chat after games spewing insults after piloting your EZMode 80:1. Dr Phil is proud of you. A good example of people using this game for self esteem
but I expect nothing less from players who don't learn to play the game lol.
Learn to play the game. The irony of that statement is not lost on me. After all, DICE acknowledged Pilots are unable to get better, so the assigned that to infantry. How does it feel to know that the developers of this game see your limited learning curve? Oh well, I guess its time to farm 80:1 while hovering or parking and epeen in chat after the game.
Ah well, whiners gonna whine.
Like the pilots did before the nerf. Irony.
Original post - Lis rocket being able to circle the heli for 2-3 times. That is correct, but how many of those times turning around actually hit you? 1%?
The change gave you the advantage of being unbalanced again, enjoy.
It takes the edge of the players on the ground, so you might be alone in the air one day! (<.<)
Best regards,

Lis' rocket is fine in this patch. https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Lis-is-in-the-sweet-spot-right-now-Her-rocket-is-not-too-strong/m-p/12352352/highlight/true#M161214
It actually requires some level of skill. And you still get two rockets.
@Padding_Ur_Stats You should try using the Anti-Air Tank. It will solve all your problems. I honestly recommend playing Infantry only modes, it sounds like vehicles just aren't something you enjoy.
Ah yes... if we complain, that Lis is nerfed and there is no counter to vehicles and air... use a vehicle! It is that easy... I am impressed with this wisdom...
So this is the balance for you... Infantry should lose against all vehicles, vehicles should be the only effecitve counter to vehicles. But vehicles can just kill all infantry.
Thank you, I think this sounds reasonable. And yes, if you don't like it... just don't play it. Also a good advice, DICE itself had it given some time ago. You know what happened? They just didn't play it, it didn't sell well and when you think this will be the solution, there won't be any Battlefield in the future.
Your argument is just pointless.
@Zathex Exactly. It was very unlikely you would hit anything but a condor or transport heli after circling the TGM. Which would only do moderate to minimal damage on those big birds. So, the chances of you hitting the highly maneuverable stealth or nightbird after circling were near zero with an average pilot. And even closer to zero for a good pilot.

Such a braindead take. You know from the pilot's perspective, you have to assume that as long that every missile that's in the air will hit you? If you hear that sound, you immediately have to stop what you are doing to avoid it and that why the second pass matters. It also doesn't matter how good the Lis player is. It could be one you "battlefield vet" crybabies slinging them and any pilot would have to stop what they are doing to avoid it. It's a RAO hack and one shot missile in one package. Do you guys just run out in the middle of the field and after a sniper shoots a shot at you but misses, you go and think "oh ok, the second one won't hit so I don't have to do anything." Actual morons here lmao.

I have no issue with the range nerf. But the agility nerf basically makes piloting braindead

Yes it does. Even before the nerf.

OMG! How inconvenient, you have to stop what youre doing?!?!?!?!?! OH THE HUMANITY!

And there is the teamwork whine that every bad pilot complains about. You're why the nerf happened. DICE knew you couldn't adjust. DICE knew you couldn't elevate your skill so they had to dumb down piloting to, and I quote, "ease the vehicle playing experience". How does it feel to pilot the DICE short bus?
Actual morons here lmao.
The irony of this statement is not lost on me.

Ive looked for them but the ping is so high, I wont join. That being said, the first game I look for is no vehicles. If on has a yellow to green ping, I am there. I also dont solo play anymore. I only play BF with a squad of 4 people I know in a voice chat.
I think more and more infantry will be doing this. DICE just made piloting short bus skill level. I wonder when their games dont spawn, what their whine will be?

That is assuming that it was not taken by some blueberry who wanted a RAM or someone who uses it as an MBT with a non-AA turret.
By the way one of the gunner seats of the Brawler (new transport) has a secondary gunner seat that can be a 20mm AA autocannon. This means that there is another vehicle that can be quite dangerous to nearby helicopters.
