The question is more whether air should have rockets pods against infantry. I do not think it has been a good idea in the past and I am the primary pilot.
I agree @SirBobdk, giving jets rocket pods against would probably not be the best idea. Infantry generally has a hard enough time with helicopters, without adding jets in to the mix

I also do not think choppers should have rockets but TV or LGM against armor. Rockets against infantry are too easy. It should only be MG and small bombs and require skills. Otherwise we only see infantry farming as in previous games. Mg must then also be adapted so that they are usable.

Regarding this point that's fine we can have it be skill based but the problem is nothing in this game is skill based to begin with. They gave jets insane bloom and floaty physics its literally impossible to kill infantry. 30mm takes 8 hits has no splash and its hard to hit the side of a barn with the amount of bloom it gets. They completely destroyed the skill ceiling of jets because they don't want good pilots to destroy newer ones. This is why i'm proposing rocket pods to begin with.
id love to see viable cannons or bombs too but considering they put so much effort into killing every last bit of skill involved in flying i doubt that will change any time soon. At least rocket pods dont have a crazy high skill ceiling.
