stealth chopper has been nerfed too much
When the steath chopper appeared, I loved it. The ability to go stealth and drop HE bombs was probably the way I got most of my kills. Without stealth enabled, the ability to have anti air / anti g...

@W4RD0G71 the nerf to the stealth helicopters is a direct result of the overpowered toolkit it has. It has a very strong offensive, very strong defense with flares and stealth.
If you could take two rockets, what would be the benefit of using the attack helicopter without stealth?
I have to admit, maybe some nerfs were too much, I haven't died much from it in the last weeks / month, but I would not touch the fact, that the stealth helicopter dies to one missile of Lis.
@Captain_Tachi I'm not disputing the fact that it was way overpowered, but I think it could be more balanced than the current nerf. What I suggested was somewhere in between, 1 rocket doing 75% or even 85% damage, giving the pilot an opportunity to stealth up to avoid more rockets. Lets face it, you're still going to be visible to the enemy chopper / plane / mobile AA, who will attempt to use their HMG's against you stealth or not.
One shot kill just seems to be too much. I liked the idea from @S3SSioN_SoL came up with; if you're in stealth and get hit by a rocket, it's goodnight, otherwise it's 2 rockets; even a half way measure of one rocket and some HMG fire. You're going to be a smoking fireball, so still very much going to be a target.
I have to agree, it was not the vehicle for Breakthrough, and I play a lot of Breakthrough.
In Conquest, I can still get a reasonable amount of flight time, provided I unstealth to attack, and stealth up again afterwards. But I find even the HE bombs arent as powerful - dropping them on a squad used to wipe the squad; now you're lucky to kill 1 or 2.
I find I just play aerial less and less. Through all the Battlefield games I loved flying, and the dogfights, but now there's more danger from the ground than other aerial vehicles, between the Wildcat, Infantry AA, the AA add-ons to other vehicles. Even the standard anti-tank round with a soflam. And then adding Lis to the mix. It just saps all the fun out of it. For me anyway.
