Re: Stop removing "attack aircraft slots" or seperate Heli and Jet

As the title says do jets even exist??
I love that they are at least partially fixing the game thats why i returned but as an air vehicle player that aspect of the game has degraded to tuely a new low. 
Not only were jets already useless since the games launch but they managed to make them disappear completely by adding new overpowered helis turning the little bird into an "ATTACK" vehciles and on top of all that reducing the number of "Attack" vehicles to 1! on all maps its insane. Since I came back i haven't seen a single Jet in the sky and i played it myself and got flamed for wasting a vehicle slot and truely I don't even disagree it is a waste jets are essentially dead content and every air vehicle player has just been given the middle finger from dice we now have to compete with 64 players for a SINGLE helicoper or jet. Just how disconnected is dice with the community? completely.

    @AerialDominance I do not get how was 1 "attack" slot found to be sufficient for teams of 32 and 64 players.
    Even in BFV in large maps like Wake, one team could end up having like 6 aircraft based on which objectives they controlled.

    @LlamaWithKatanaThat depends on who is the pilot.
    I could easily last several minutes with the transport as long as the other team was not really hellbent on taking me down.

  • @UP_Hawxxeye sure. With jets active it is impossible to outrun them and extremely hard to outmanoeuvre them. They can go almost as slow as you and faster than your top speed + from angle where guns can't reach em. So for jet any transport is just easy prey.

    @LlamaWithKatana Transport + 50mm is me and my friends speciality and quite frankly in the current state the transport is insanely overpowered. Even before all the patches me and my friend survived all game in the sky with often times 20-40 vehicle kills. After patch we get less vehicle kills and simply farm infantry racking up 1st and 2nd place every single game. Transports never needed a buff or less vehicles in the sky

    Did they actually buff transports?  I thought they were the same they've always been (just more common now that it's not competing with the LittleBird spawns)

    Fix for all of this (64 players only, because 128 sucks anyways):

    • 1 Jet each team
    • 1 Attack Chopper (Stealth, Scout, Casual) each team
    • 1 Transport Chopper eacht team (remove the main-guns and make the miniguns less powerfull)

    All problems solved.

    @TickTack121That’s less then past battlefields that are smaller they need more then that

    It is not less than in past battlefields and no, we don't need more kill-farming-vehicles with the same amount of players (64 players)

    If we had better counters to Air Vehicles it wouldn't be as bad. Buff the AA on the Wildcat, place some stationary AA around the Map and I'm fine with more Vehicles. 

    Tanks need a Buff in survivability, they are easy Prey.

    They should lower the T1 now when its so hard to get a heli or jet

    @TickTack121 Its definitly less. Except few maps maybe. There were maps in Bf4 with 2 little birds, 2 jets, 1 attack jet and anti air... and it worked, since you would be more busy with fighting vehicles than going for infantry. The farm maps were always these with less vehicles.
