Post 1.1 jet 25mm autocannon impressions
I did some preliminary testing vs bots first to see how it fares in a more controlled environment. The 25mm now seems to fit its description of a gun specialized for aircraft and soft ground target...

I don’t think the sights are misaligned. I think they are zeroed to a certain distance like the nightbird mini guns which you need to aim higher if you are too close and aim lower if you are too far. For jets it’s the same thing but since you need to get very close to see infantry and then shoot, the aiming feels off.
The bigger problem is that the AGMs were overnerfed. 20 second reload for 1 AGM makes it useless for any ground vehicle more armored than a Bolte which nobody seems to use anymore. So now you have to choose between missiles that only work well against the only other attack aircraft (which you should be using guns for anyway) but hardly put a dent into the transports or AGMs that are only useful against LATVs.
Honestly the whole jet gameplay system needs an overhaul. The META shouldn’t revolve around tight circle dogfights with guns like they’re propeller planes in WWII.
Ideally the user should be able to adjust the battle sight settings like adjusting rifle sights in any other BF game.
Hmmm, curious how this buff will affect the day to day lives of infantry.
How many infantry kills are ace jet pilots going to be getting per match? Probably more than before, but still far less than if that same pilot selected any of the other air vehicle options.
Now that jets pose a (small) threat to infantry I'd hope that DICE takes a look at the infantry AA options and gives us the means to poke back.
@AngrySquid270more damage to aircraft via AP rounds would be nice

The question will be if you see jets at all anyway. When you only have one attack vehicle to select from, why wouldn't you pick a stealth chopper still?
- @Anobix because I want to make an enemy heli feel the pain? :D
