So we already have over powered helicopters that just blast through infantry.Now were getting stealth helicopters in season 1 so what are they giving the infantry to combat them they have nothing now.2042 and single infantrymen cannot use drones or lock to a target with ground to air missile.Everygame tonight players leaving because just to many helicopters.They attack hide for a minute or so to repair rinse and repeat.I'm hoping hardcore becomes the only mode will shoot my own team pilots myself.

The big issue is the hind and Condor with the 50 mm cannons, they shouldn’t be flying tanks if they’re going to have those kinds of weapons. Or if they are going to be that tanky, than they shouldn’t have access to those guns. Way too strong and honestly ruin the game for other vehicles as well (jets/attack helicopters/tanks).

@protoman23I use the soflam and hardly any one takes advantage of it. As soon as i lock on they release counter measures and fly off somewhere behind a hill or building etc.So how are infantry going to cope with stealth helicopters we have no tools now on our own.Supposed to be 2042 and no decent anti aircraft weapons for any infantryman.

Hannibal and Huron - strong vs infantry- strong vs enemy air- strong versus Wildcat- strong versus enemy tanks- strong vs fast moving vehicles- has flares AND stealth- stealth is permanent in duration as long as you want it PICK ONE of the above DICE. No vehicle in game should be strong versus everything and weak versus nothing, all in a single loadout.MIND BOGGLING how anyone at DICE could think these helicopters are even remotely close to being balanced.

@Kona_uk Sounds to me like somebody can't handle the combined arms of battlefield. Get a Soflam and a friend with using the Wildcat with the AT missile and you'll ruin most choppers day.

@Kona_uk Duh, the new specialist is a rocket expert. So the counter is to have a whole team of the same specialist with everyone running around looking like everyone else.

the stealth chopper is broken, i manage to drop bombs while being 90% stealth mode :') ... its dominating and not much you can do about it, so dont act like its nothing because you are also farming with it if you do not see a problem

@Climax_SpiceyIf you use it, you will see it's not broken. Because if you use it, you learn how to counter it.

Barely anyone gets to use it because of the 1/1 Air Attack Vehicle limit therefore, barely anyone knows how to counter it. Therefore leading to lobbies with people just running Stingers instead of using Rao as well.
I honestly don't blame people for feeling overwhelmed by air vehicles, all because Jets have literally been thrown into the bin.

Rao is a massive game changer but seldom do people exploit him.

@S3SSioN_SoL i just told you i use it, you can drop bombs while being in stealth most of the time :') .. I dont expect Rao to get to me, need to be low and i dont drop bombs that close to the ground .. they could make something to work .. or in my opinion stealth mode is dumb looking at the fact it does not matter for a heat searching missle

@Climax_Spicey If that's all you're doing... then that's not really broken now is it... Like, what are the odds that your targets don't move considering you're that high? You have to be considerably high not to be in hack range or Lis' rocket range.

@S3SSioN_SoL you are clearly blind or just dont want to admit it xD .. lis is okay, it regens fast enough so not a big issue .. movement of the chopper is fast enough to make it as hard as possible .. the height is decent to get good bomd drops .. so dont act like you are not seeing the issue that just looks ignorant xD ..
