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...

I’ll assume you don’t know me or have read other posts I’ve made. I’m pro-vehicle, combined arms is what makes BF great. So you can take your assumptions and put them in stealth choppie right? Ok, now that’s done, maybe we can have a conversation? Even you admit the stealth has been overpowered. I’m sure we can agree so is the Hind, and less so the Condor. The rest of the vehicles are anemic and have been needed to death. If 1 player is happy flying and 64 on the other team are sad, that’s a game breaking issue. We’re not here to be fodder for a hot stick pilot. If you only love flying, maybe Air Combat or a flying game are better choices? Combined arms must have balance, and to date we’ve had none. I’ve made numerous suggestions in many posts about balance, hell just make it so it could be locked on by a soflam (laser guided, stealth makes no diff) to other choices. I’m not going to lose sleep if for a few weeks it’s crappy, as it’s been amazing for months and I could use a break. I like flying, Hind is at T2, stealth is close to T2. I also like LMGs and running and gunning. I tend to try and see it from both sides. My hard comment to the OP was as much as you were complaining about an OP piece of kit and that I can’t feel bad for you. A reasoned post would get an equally reasoned response. I’m answering on my phone so I’ll check content later. Good chatting with ya.

@ATFGunrSure we'll take all the vehicles out of it, and make it more like CoD. In fact why don't we go the whole hog and take guns out of it, in case someone doesn't like getting killed. BF Sims, I can imagine it now...
@ATFGunrYou're quite right, I don't know you, nor have I taken the time to read your other posts. I'm sorry if I was sarcastic, but I read your reply amidst someone suggesting it's all my fault, and another suggesting it was a skill problem.
I agree the Stealth was way OP; so is the Hind, and in some respects so is the Condor. I would, personally like to see more than one main battle tank in a map - I know we can have the EMKV-TOR, as well as the M1A5 / T28, but personally I'd like to have choice of second tank, as I'd still pick the M1A5 or T28 over the EMKV.
I enjoy flying, but don't always get the opportunity, so am happily seated in whatever vehicle is available. I tend not to run and jump around in firefights, simply because when I do, I'm always the first casualty. Like I said in another reply, I'm not 19 nor are my reflexes; I was playing multiplayer PC games for about 5 years when the franchise started in 2002, and I've been a fan ever since. Let's just say I earn my name well, and get called Grandad by some.
I tend to play support roles better, and let the younger guns bounce around all over the place 🙂 I can hold my own against some pilots, but there's clearly talent out there that I just cant shake off my tail. It's an age thing, but I still enjoy it.
I totally agree, there has to be balance, and the game at the minute doesn't seem to have it. When you consider that on some maps in BF5, there were 4 aircraft-carrier aeroplane spawns, 4 LVC spawns, not to mention a couple of tanks, 2042 seems, as you said, anemic for heavier vehicles. I'd also like to see a return to other weapons left out of BF for a while, such as BF3's M224 mortar. Indirect fire is something that tanks now have, but infantry doesn't; in my opinion it should be the other way round. There's something satisfying about a squad working together with a recon spotting, and a mortar providing support to the assault classes.
So please don't think that I'm just some hardcore pilot who wants to change BF into IL2 Sturmovik. I just wanted to suggest maybe the nerf went a little too far, and perhaps they could consider edging it back a bit.
