Hi!I'd like to open up more about stealth helo. Sadly it's underperforming. Why? I gave good test in out of sup of its performance. Keep in mind, i had no gunner on board and i used hmg as mainguns.Here are most common problems overall:Dies to 1 TGM. Problem is, it's quite big and handling is between hokuma/apache and nightbird. Why should it tank tgm? Cause of a lot of delay sync and literally that heli has not enough of maneuverability against tgm. Gives question,why would i choose stealth over nb or ac? Repair, fine i will live without it, but good example is out of sup, there are wildcats. Sadly wildcats lockon is way faster than me cloaking stealth mode. So, me choosing repair over flares is not an option. (BTW i can't repair on ground in out of sup). My suggestions:Should tank 1 tgm.EDIT: Just shooting at it is not an option. NOT good enough.-Fish

It'll probably get buffed because 1 pilot complained, DICE like to do that with the air vehicles, but I have very little sympathy with pilots complaining they are vulnerable. They have infinite counter measures, the luxury of speed, manoeuvrability, and ample cover to fly behind, they are notified via the game HUD when there is a lock on (AKA the "consider flares" alarm), then there's a warning to say when a missile is actually fired (AKA "press flares now" hint), including the direction of the missile.Short of the game basically telling you the attacker's, name, blood type, and bank account details, I think pilots are given all the help they need.....

@Man_iLoveFishing An agile and quiet stealth heli that can continuously drop bombs from high above while cloaked (which is fine as that's part of its role) and can be taken out with 1 TGM is not underperforming at all - it's literally working as intended. It's not an attack heli. Nothing needs to be changed when it's balanced.This is just how it works out sometimes.

@Man_iLoveFishing This is how Dice does it. They release a vehicle or weapon and it’s hugely OP. Rather than wait for the players to learn how to adapt and fight it, they nerf it mercilessly into the ground. The players eventually do find out how to defend and act accordingly. Now you have something that is both nerfed and defendable. Rinse and repeat. The stealth was OP on release, now it is what it is. You can’t really be surprised?

@ATFGunrI'm totally am not. Thats why i'm trying to revive it. It needs some attention and fixes. I just love flying it, but sadly its lifespan is way more shorter than it should be.@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R Also reason why its not working as it should is TGM desync.

@Man_iLoveFishing Stealth heli is a "behind the scenes" aircraft, doing damage from afar. Shouldn't be Nbird 2.0. It works as intended, and dies from 1 TGM as intended.This is just how it works out sometimes.

@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3RThere is out of superiority now, go give it a try.

How often you see in match stealth doing any score? How often you overall see it? Dropping bombs from high does almost nothing, go give it a try.

Cloak gets disabled quickly after getting damaged - go give a try.
It has no repair - go give it a try (also try with repair -go give it a try)
After these, you can say "works as itended"

@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3RNo it does not, cause you are just not wanting to die to it. In comparesment to every aircraft, its weakest and should be in between bird and ac, which is not.

It also can't dodge air radars when you are in stealth mode.

@Man_iLoveFishing I hear ya man, I do. The secret to playing 2042 is to just lower the bar you have set for games 🤣 Lower it so far only Hermes couldn’t limbo under it.

TGM is the only effective counter since it can sit in stealth mode permanently and bomb from distance. It was OP previously, now it's balanced. You want it to tank a TGM? Fine, then limit stealth mode to 10 seconds, then 10 second cooldown.

These bombs are nerfed, you can't really deal much with them (need to fly close and be very precise) and stealth cloak gets disabled by getting even slightest damage. So said, nb and hokum/apache are more deadlier.
Edit: What im asking is survivability, rn damageform is like pondahawk has, difference is the size. And when heli gets disabled, it flies very slow.

@Man_iLoveFishing Working as intended, just accept it.
