Thats why Infantry players leaving Battlefield 2042

@UP_Hawxxeye I was only  at the infantry end... edgecrusherO0 is right, if the pilot is not greedy, there is nothing the infantry can do, except poke a little bit. The stealth helicopter pilot has all aces. If Rao hacks? Flare before it gets through and fly away. If  Stinger, just  flare and fly away. If flares on cooldown, just take cover behind a hill or far enough, so nobody can lock you. If the pilot is no sleeping on all the little helpers (acoustic and visual), the only viable option is Lis  with her rockets (funny enough, without boost they are not much faster than the helicopter, but less maneuverable) or a lucky shot with the M5. Really, nothing, without the help of an AA or other air. The stealth helicopter can counter everything, the infantry can do. 

The most frustrating thing is... even if you use the rocket of Lis, you need two hits... very hard to hit one, impossible to hit two. Also, because the reload time is unpleasantly long...  to get the   helicopter after the first hit, you have to use boost. 

And please, nobody has to tell me, that  it is about teamplay. Why does the helicopter can solo everything, but the other side needs the whole team.

A thing, what is bothering me, too... why does the helicopter pilot gets every visual and acoustic help, if someone want to hack him, shoots a rocker (Lis), or is trying to use a stinger, but if Rao hacks something, nobody gets any information. It is really annoying, if you play Rao and wants to hack the helicopter, but it was already hacked... and the window to shoot a stinger is very (very!) short, to get a shot with the stinger in this window. So the hack is less useful, as the pilots are thinking.

But it REALLY makes a difference if the one time there is a good window to land stingers if it is 3 at once instead of 1.

Same if the pilot has to dodge like 4 people using the liz missiles instead of 1.

The main advantage of infantry vs vehicles is their overwhelming number.

I know some aircraft are just dumb right now but trying is better than accepting it

Yes, if you can perfectly coordinate 3-4 missiles to all land at once you have a shot! But even if you're all on voice coms, that's an unreasonable and difficult amount of teamwork/precision to set up to have a chance at taking down a helicopter.

All the things you write about, I've seen in matches. Lis missiles flying everywhere. Stingers and SOFLAM's all the time. Rao's hacking (including myself). Yet frequently, none of it matters because good pilots seem to have endless ways to counter all of it through high mobility, flares, popular helicopters being fairly tanky, repair skill, and extensive use of LoS/cover on all maps.

@UP_HawxxeyeBecause "ripping that son of a gun out of the sky" is usually incredible difficult as infantry, especially if you don't have a wildcat handy.

Aircraft have far better tools for escaping from ground forces trying to down them than ground forces have to set up plays to actually kill aircraft.

Believe me I know, I have been both on the giving and receiving end of this.

Absolutely, as a 100% ground player I hate enemy aircraft as much as anyone else when they are dominating our pilots but all it takes is 2 or 3 randoms to equip the stinger and the issue is resolved.

Pilots need to have their fun too.

If only their engine had enough assets and performance to allow more vehicles in a match to fight EACH OTHER instead of INFRANTRY. 

Has anyone looked up the stats on Zhina guy? I posted about him last week and my post got taken down. I will say no more
