Re: The Night Bird Helicopter has been nerfed too much.

I'm a veteran of Battlefield games since Battlefield 1942 and a Ace Pilot. Dice nerfed the Night Bird Helicopter too much in this latest patch. The only way to get kills with it now is by flying extremely low. Here is a video of me going on a 25 Kill Streak and 0 Deaths in 16 Minutes. My team was terrible though and couldn't even capture the first objective. https://youtu.be/UhhGd1o_CVM

Once again that's a 25 Kill Streak and 0 Deaths in less than 16 Minutes. I haven't seen anyone do better in such little time. 😁


Ample proof that there is nothing wrong with them then.

Case closed.

  • By the way I wonder who couldn't take the heat and decided to report me and have me on a 24 hour vacation? Anyways let's be civil shall we? The only reason I went on a 25 Kill Streak is because I was flying EXTREMELY low to the ground and my aim was good enough to earn those kills. It has nothing to do with the Night Bird itself which is now extremely weak in my honest opinion. My skill was put on display not the Night Bird which feels like I'm shooting my targets with a water gun.

  • @Anonymou88 My entire goal is to stinger pilots out of the sky. I enjoy it. It's fun to watch them burn. But instead of maybe coming up with a way to make stingers more dangerous on conquest maps or find a way to stop helicopters from just riding up more than 400 meters and having their gunners gun everyone down [littlebird excluded] they just decided to ruin helicopter damage entirely so I don't even need to do my job. It's kinda wild.

    Ehh, I tried 20mm cannons yesterday. Need to be really precise and hit many times, also what's bugging me is when using these cannons, it's splash effect (dust, smoke) ruins visibility (target almost disappears behind the dust). It's wrong, cause easy kill should be easy, atm it's struggle.

    Absolutely agree, it should be susceptible to LMG fire.

    The Nightbird is still crazy strong if you know how to fly it, and the splash of the Bolte and the LCAV is still broken.

    Exactly. The 20 mm cannons are completely useless now. Good luck getting any kills with them.

    Absolutely bewildered people think the little bird isn’t strong enough!
