Re: I'm sure glad they nerfed the Stealth chopper!

@Tank2042ManChoosing both anti armor options puts the helicopter at risk of being destroyed by other aircraft. Especially Nightbirds and jets who have rapid fire guns.

Currently the stealth helicopter experiences an "ecosystem" that would be equivalent to BF1 having only the Heavy Bomber as a choice people are willing to take or only the JU-88 and Blehnheim in BFV. Without fighters to challenge them

Making the AGMs reload like jets is a decent suggestion though. I had not even noticed that it was not the case simply because almost any time that I fly the stealth heli I will chose to have more power vs aircraft than vs the ground (twin HMGs + IR missiles) leaving only the bombs for the ground forces.

Personally I think it is high time the tanks also get the APS system option too.

Honestly though if I wanted to hunt tanks I would be using the regular attack helicopters these days.

    you guys think the stealth helos are bad now, wait for the specialist update.  there will be no credible threat to the stealth once rao loses his stinger

    That's going to be highly dependent on the skill levels of the pilots though.

    @PsubondVery true. Unfortunately, DICE has ignored the repeated feedback about this from you, me, and many others when they asked about the specialist changes.It just proves those feedback requests are nothing more than lip service.

    They will get better with the jets if they manage to practice them when the helicopters do not take their slots.

    By playing a lot of air superiority on a portal server for about a week I became significantly better than I was during the video I made above.

    People just need the chance to stay on a jet for more than a couple of minutes per round if lucky

    probably 5th time flier was there in that jet.

    Looks like that guy has the active radar missiles so he must have spent a fair amount of time with them.

    Getting into an air vehicle these days isn't particularly easy and I rarely see the jets doing anything useful, if there are any in the game at all.

    The chopper needs a much shorter time in stealth and a reasonable cooldown before they can use it again.  But honestly, what is it even doing in the game?  It completely breaks the Rock Paper Scissors approach that DICE are supposed to employ with this game.  But, I do love the audio associated with the bomb drops, it's a great sound!!
