@S3SSioN_SoLyou 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 ..
You must play in lobbies that either disable Rao or just play mostly in the stratosphere, there's nothing wrong with that, Battlefield is a sandbox game, you play how you want.
In my experience, one small movement mistake, deploy flares to soon, deploy stealth for no reason and that spells death.
I've killed at least 2 stealth heli's with Lis and got assists on them at least 10 times as Lis.
Rao is perfect for disabling its stealth.
The main goal should be to make it easier for other more capable vehicles to kill the stealth heli, which Rao and the Stingers do well enough.
I don't know, what you're saying is the equivalent of staying in cover because you've seen a sniper scope glint and instead of using your smoke grenade, you're stuck because the sniper is watching you, naturally the sniper will reign supreme at range, likewise bombing from such a height will also work but at the same time, I find it hard to believe that you actually land decent bombs whilst being that high? Your targets must be the size of pixels on the screen if you're able to stay out of Rao range or stinger range.

Thoroughly convinced the majority of these players complaining end up in lobbies with Aces. Good news is the Aces have air superiority now and don't have to waste their time fighting over one attack aircraft slot playing AoW. Nobody wants to play Rao. Nobody wants to use a LATV4 with the 50mm or 30MM to break the stealth of the stealth choppers. Nobody wants to coordinate and use teamwork. I'm actually curious as to what game modes folks are playing that lead to them getting farmed so hard.

Summed up my thoughts quite well. There are methods in place but people are choosing to outright ignore them "because Helicopters are doing Helicopter things".
Don't get me wrong, the game is far from being "perfectly" balanced, but complaining about something that is not the issue is only gonna cause more imbalances.
The fact that aircraft slots are limited to 1/1 for air attack vehicles created the worst possible environment to balance air vehicles as well. There is almost never any Jets in the air, and it was the Jets that typically prevented the Helis from going out of control when no one was "playing Anti-Air".Maybe DICE need to triple the XP for the SOFLAM and Hacking etc, to encourage more people to use them.
