Range + turn angle both have been nerfed. A welcome change since it was quite ridiculous how those rockets can literally circle around your heli 2-3 times before running out of fuel while being able to do a full 360 within a 50m radius.
Another good change (Hopefully) is jet. F35 will be more agile to be on par with SU-57
Overall, great news in addition to season 4

@disabled_tweekerAh yes, the pilot entitlement. “I spent a lot of time practicing to become the good pilot I am now, so it should require TEAMWORK to shoot me down” - which is said knowing fully well that teamwork has been in short supply in every Battlefield game since the dawn of time.
Is it? The devs agree. They literally told you to get better at the game. Cry more for me.

The first sentence and the second one are completely at odds with each other.
Not really. It was an exaggeration.

Actually, no. They increased the skill cap to make it better for you. That wasn't a get better statement. They did it to
Ease up on the vehicle player experience.
The translation here is DICE thinks vehicle pilots skill is capped and has to make it harder on others so you can have it easier to farm. To your benefit, they are making it easier.
I wonder how the no vehicle portals will affect vehicle play? How many people playing infantry will flee to portal only games. It would be a shame if there wasn't enough of a population for pilots to spawn a game....... ☹️
@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.
@Anarchiesxthe only aircraft that were being hit too easily were the ones that could tank like 4 of these missiles.
Not the ones that are getting oneshoted. Especially not by the average joe

That's rather exaggerated, but this is the internet I suppose.
People expect infantry AA options that don't feel so chore-like. Infantry AA needs to feel fun. The G-84 at least made it interesting.
When it comes to anti-armor DICE gives us lots of interesting options that makes it fun. Anti-air isn't nearly as interesting by comparison. G-84 nerf moves things in the wrong direction.
the pendulum will swing back the other way. enjoy it while you can pilots, things won't always be in your favor

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.
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?
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
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.
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.
