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

Shame DICE did not balance heli's, nor did anything to the ridiculous physics of the littlebird, nor did anything to the absurd flaresystem.
How come pilots dont need teamwork to solo-farm a server and infantry need all kind of coordination to get some teamwork going to try and down a sweaty pilot?
You’re actually wondering why a single infantry player can’t consistently take down a helicopter by himself. Lol. Keep that soft shell helmet tightly fastened.
Depends on the copter

Which is strange because conquest always dominates the global server browser when we had one.
But that were in a different game with different maps. In BFV Breakthrough and Conquest were about the same fun. In BF2042 Breakthrough excells.

This is because DICE no longer takes the Conquest mode as serious. Their lead level designer said it in their most recent (EP5) of the Inside Battlefield podcast. He discussed the problems with capture points on the tops of buildings, calling in vehicles on rooftops, issues with verticality and noted how these things have to be corrected for Breakthrough because it's "so prescribed" and "crafted". But he said these issues are fine for conquest because "in conquest everything goes". He said Conquest "we are ok with people having fun, spawning a tank on the rooftop, and doing all these stuff."
General sentiment was Conquest is for casual fun and Breakthrough is more serious. He also noted that his prefered mode of gameplay is Breakthrough.
As a long time veteran of the series and the Conquest mode that made it, its really sad to see how they've now relegated the Conquest mode to this position with internal development and design choices.
Her rockets were already so horrible on console; Colour me surprised they could make em worse.
@Wargame_Enj0yerThere's one attack aircraft at any given time per 64 player team in most maps
thats why they are strong offense vehicles.
Its actually sort of impossible for two nightbird pilots to co-operate on most maps because only one can be spawned.
I wasn’t
