Stop removing "attack aircraft slots" or seperate Heli and Jet

Saying we are getting more vehicles but then sliding in reduction in air vehicles to 1 per team isnt making the game, gameplay or enjoyment better.... only worse.  Im sure everyone can agree jets and...

This guy raises good points. As a Jet main I agree with you completely. Dice ruined the game for us in update .4 and did so even more so with 1.0.

What i want to do is fly when I play battlefield. Not run around and play call of duty, most of the time. I want to feel like i'm impacting the match when doing so. Not sitting around doing nothing or waiting for the chance at a jet.

Think about it. You luck out and then get unlucky and die. The next vehicle spawn is going up for grabs to whoever is spam clicking it. The vehicle goes on a cooldown, and so does your ability to take it. They offset each other so you can't get the spawn if someone else is trying to take it. It's a horrible setup. Welcome to being on foot soldier until the July update. I'll cya on the ground since i'm pretty sure we have bumped into each other in the air 😉

@CBF-Arhan They can add more air vehicles if they get actually Effective AA options in the game.

That means buffing the lock-on range of any Infantry wielded AA weapon, drastically increase the lock-on range on the soflam and drastically increase the lock-on range on marked targets.

Also Buff the damage on the dual gun on the wildcat and improve theyr ability to Aim upwards so the wildcat don’t have a blindspot anymore.

Then we can talk about 2,4 hell even 5 Jets or any aircraft per side

But until then I prefer 1 attack aircraft per side.

Welcome to the Infantry World, have fun getting picked off in open Areas from vehicles.

    @BolvardI've had some fun encounters against the wildcat. I just was playing against a good one. It was able to stop most of the agms and stay alive with multiple passes. I was impressed, I was more impressed in getting the spawn in the jet in the first place. My advice would be to make sure you are somewhere where you can back into cover and line of sight our agms. Also you can jump out of the wildcat if your being locked and we can't lock onto you.

    I don't think the jets are that OP a lot of times were being harassed by other targets that we can't worry about the AA on ground. If anything it's opposite it feels like to me. If you guys manage to hit us were basically shredded or glass so it's really risky when dealing with AA. Especially if they are any good and in a good position defensively.

      @CBF-ArhanIf you play defensive with the wildcat you will to 100% draw the attention of either an c5 drone or a Sundance c5

      I’ve been in enough vehicles, especialy the MAV and all it needs is to not pay attention on your sorroundings for 5 seconds and you are dead.

      Can’t say the same about any air vehicle who just flares and then fly away and hide out of reach of anything.

      i still don’t get it why they just disable putting c5 on the drone, this lame tactic is the mainreason why groundvehicles feels so weak and air not.

      if your wildcat is constantly dead there is nothing that can oppose air vehicles.

      a Rao/soflam combo will only Delay the pilot but not kill him.

      infantry needs something that effectively kills Air, especialy if 20 out of 64 are trying to stop the jet or aircraft.

      Liz with her TV Rocket looks promising if it is a 1HK against air vehicles.

    @Bolvard Anything thats a helicopter is easy to kill. You can shoot them out and a soflam with the rocket laucher tracks and 1 hits it. Stingers have faster lock and it only takes 2 hits to kill them unless its a transport which takes more. Wildcats have high arc equal to bf4 AA. They are highly effective with any gun killing aircraft and the missiles nuke any air power up to 480m. If you get good with the wildcat its nasty. Its alot harder to stay in the air than one things. Especially to be effective. Infantry in BF2042 is so much stronger against assets than in any other battlefield. Especially if you know the weak spots on them. I play all areas of the game and i do milsim. Even all the infantry players i know want more air power and they dont touch air assets unless they need to. There are ways to boost your AA abilties and jets dont farm infantry. Thats only attack heli and scout heli aka apache and little bird. Have you played BF4 BF3 Bad company ect. Any actual BF veteran would agree with this post topic. Only you and 1 other disagree with everyone here. While specialists do play a factor. Iv had games nuking air assets running a stinger team, AT team and even 70-90 kill games running wildcat killing air assets and ground. I used 40mm and AGM style missiles. Nukes air assets easily and with stinger missiles on wildcat. Nothing survives. Infantry can easily move around and avoid them. I have spent most of my time on foot to get equal feel for everything since lauch. ~ Someone with 2300 hours in ranked and 1600-2000 hours of unranked time in BF4
