@sk1lld The only thing I can think of is to make them slower. Everyone has the afterburner binding on "W" so you just flying at full speed all the time.
@Joe234567891011 You are absolutely right about the heli. Every good MD pilot will shred you away because you lack speed.
@PrecisionWing Yes in the last patch the pods and now this. In 2 patches no one wants to fly anymore.
IF the Lis TV Missle is flying faster than you jet, then you know something is wrong.
I miss the speed of BF2 jets:
Community ManagerHi all,
Just wanted to let you know that the teams have made some changes to the Jet Afterburners via a server-side change.

Thank you for the feedback!
LOL - well that nerf to planes didn't last long. DICE responding to feedback right now:
"Engineer Players (for months): Air vehicles are dominating, and you keep nerfing our abilities and weapons, whilst buffing air vehicles! Help us be effective!
DICE: ....................
Pilots: Our planes feel funny and we can't outfly missiles anymore!
DICE (within 24hours): We got you bro, we've made you fast again, and let us know if anything else tries to shoot you...."
😃 😃 😃 😃
@Dutchie-Mario
Because this patch change for the jet is basically like if someone restricted your sprint to 3 seconds via a stamina bar. Just consider how that would feel for your gameplay on a large CQ map? Especially if you are under fire with no cover in sight
@UP_Hawxxeye Or, I dunno, like someone had nerfed the speed and turning ability of your anti-vehicle rocket like they did with Lis? And yet, that nerf has still not been reversed months later....
I'm not sure what to say but even with the afterburner server side increase the jets feel slow and clunky. They feel like a truck with a transmission problem. Even when you use your afterburner to come in fast or get out fast it just feels awful. Please revisit previous modern battlefield 3/4 jet handling. I'm not enjoying how easy we are dead if we make a single mistake. It makes it harder to want to attack when you are just going get shredded the moment you fly in to attack another jet from the ground. Who can bait their flying boat over the wildcats first has become the play.... It's way harder to bait enemy pilots out away from wildcats or enemy bases without extra air speed.
Regardless Dice thanks for making them somewhat useful again. I'm not sure why we always go forward and backwards on changes. Jets needed to be improved or left alone. I would argue the only change jets needed was to have additional types of jets or weapons. Nobody asked for a pondhawk.

@UP_HawxxeyeYes I get that, it's no real problem for.me. It s just there are more freaky things in this season people complaining about like the stupid battle pass progression or 1.nade for.underbarrel, but that won't be fixed within 24 hours?

I agree that both of these things should had been fixed already. I am quite frustrated with the grenade launcher one in particular, did we got any statements for them yet?
As about the Lis missile, I am also annoyed about that one, but I sitll manage to land hits on the gunships (the FarmBirds are hard to hit though) I hope they will realize the turning speed needs to go back where it was.
