I got frustrated just by watching the video for several reasons
The first reason was of course the tankiness of that Hind. What the heck, it was that it was almost like if it had a force field deflecting the jet shots. Also the freaking AA-IR looping issue still have not been fixed... they are supposed to now (I quote) fly "straight at the target with unbridled wrath"...
Now lets go at the sins of the other side:
Stealth heli with 30mm HE cannon instead of dual HMGs:
Seriously lose the 30mm HE cannon. It has been nerfed ages ago and the HMGs are much better vs aircraft.
Jet that seems to use 30mm instead of 25mm:
That is self explanatory. The 30mm is useless outside of damaging tanks
Wildcat does does not seem to use its dual flak AA guns:
The Wildcat missiles are more of a filler and the main source of damage is the dual flak guns. If the driver has selected the 30mm or the 50mm then they are fools who do not understand what this vehicle is for and should switch to the RAM.
This is the dude that got you killed. He should had forced the hind to retreat
Jet 30-mm cannon is surprisingly good against transport choppers (and completely useless vs night birds), just need lead shots by a lot because of ridiculously slow travel time. Have been using the 30-mm more lately - the it might actually have a better ttk when you actually hit your shots
@Metal_Daryl97In my humble opinion the GAU 30mm is too specialized for heavy armor for general usage.
Of course if you are a good pilot it should work. The jet pilot at the video was definitely not very skilled just like the wildcat driver. Only the OP did well enough all things considered.
Flying battleships which endlessly farm infantry and cannot be countered - check
Lots of anti-air options, but none actually work - check
Pilots who site the anti-air options that flying battleships are working as intended - check (also, see above)
Watching team mates no longer PTO because of the flying battleships - check
Exit game, hoping to find one that I can actually PTO - check
I try and ignore as much as possible and just enjoy the game even with the farming, but some games are simply unplayable and frankly a waste of my time in doing so.
I hope this changes and there is some fair balance considered.
@ATFGunryeah, a lot of the "transport" guns should be smoke launchers.
They would add a new layer of strategy too

I think we'd be more likely to end up with smoke spam than strategy with that proposal. At least among randoms.
Few clips from recent games
The 30mm is actually decent against most air vehicles but ironically, I don't think it performs adequately well against ground targets. Needs a slight buff - faster projectile vel + tighter spread + more damage per shot against all vehicles, especially small agile vehicles like the nightbird
Okay my dude, this is not the way to kill hind. You were locking him, wasting only time, you were escaping, wasting only time. Same goes for jet, it didn't even shoot, only tried to lock. And no 30mm is not good against hind especially on long ranges. What you forgot is that you have stealth and need gunner for it, emp and with machine gun pods you deal greater damage, also for long distance mg are better and doesn't overheat so quick. Sorry that video only showed your and ur teammates unskill moves. Best part is, No1 even almost did any damage hind.
Edit: Also you were at some point on top of him, you had good chance to damage him and even try to bomb him, instead that you chose to lock. And fixed some grammar.
Don't worry gang. I have it on good authority the person at DICE who can make this nerf call has just about completed their T1 mastery on Hind. Should just be a few more weeks and it will get adjusted properly.
