Re: Exciting adjustments for the transport vehicles?

@SCUBASTEVE120 I fly a lot in 2042 and I see the misconception that adding a timer to the stealth choppers will make a difference, it won't. The only issue is the 30mm cannon the pilot has access to. The Hokum attack chopper had the same one for a long time and it was op and got nerfed. They will probably do the same thing to the stealth choppers. The reason why I say the timer is irrelevant is because I'm rarely in stealth for more than a minute anyway. Depending on the resistance of the opposing aircraft Im in stealth less time than I'm in attack mode. The 30mm is the problem, I promise. I've played rounds where I'm in stealth for the entire duration and it typically leads to half the kills than if I use the 30mm on top of stealth. The stealth is a nice getaway card, if you added a timer it would just make the pilots play even more defensively than they already do.

@xpaydayx that means they are hiding somewhere and not ruin the fun out of the game. Sounds cool.

@LlamaWithKatana I understand the hate for aircraft but that mentality isn't one of a developer. Their job is to make sure everyone is engaged having fun doing something. The best solution would be to remove the 30mm entirely or make it like the one on the Hokum. Keeping the bombs and stealth mode allow the chopper to do what it was designed to do which is to annihilate enemies in stealth. It's great at killing vehicles in particular and should remain that way so it has a role to fill. You will see significantly less infy farming if the 30mm is nerfed.

@xpaydayx I'm all up for it. Anything will help.

@xpaydayx This. Every single “transport” in game having 30mm is a joke. 30mm can farm infantry so easily.

Mini guns on all transports and that’s it. If not, stop calling them transports. Transports aren’t shooting helicopters down and farming troops with 30mm cannon or larger.

@Zhukov211 I'm assuming you mean the 50mm correct? The transport aircraft use the 50mm not the 30mm. Also transports having miniguns is great but if they don't have a front gun at all IMO they absolutely need vehicle limit restriction lifted. Otherwise, no one will ever fly them again. Nerfing them into oblivion and being them being unviable is my biggest fear because I enjoy flying a lot.

@Zhukov211 I see what you mean. If they went ahead and removed the 30mm entirely from the land transports too then they would need reworked some more. The key is to give every vehicle a sense of usefulness. At least right now the jeep and actually attack and defend itself against other light craft and infy. If they got rid of the 30mm they could alleviate that by adding more jeeps/hovercrafts per team that way they act as true transports. I know a big talking point is that the maps are too big and we want more transports so that could be an option. Or they could just, ya know, add the frickin ATV to the spawn list considering it's already in the game but perhaps that's a bit too obvious.
