@edgecrusherO0 Yeap. That's what I think a lot of the issue is with AA. Lots of people don't like to play because its just not as fun and you don't get to see the results, like you said. There's a whole treasure box full of tactics/things in a game that will win games. But people don't like to play them because it's not as fun. Using spawn beacons. Using smoke. Actually reviving people as a medic. Actually healing people as a medic (like falyk). Being a good transport heli and knowing which flags to drop. Using Rao/AA stuff to scare away vehicles. Using a repair tool to heal allied vehicles. Utilizing a dozer shield to give cover to allies, rather than just charging. Spotting with soflams. Using irish to help counter grenades when a bunch of allies are in one area. Using casper by spotting with your drone, then pushing, then spotting. Instead of just sitting there on the drone none stop. Things like that I've seen turn the tides of a battle. But there just isn't enough incentive to get players to do them. Some do happen more frequently than others though.

@Defias123 I mean, people do all that stuff, I know I heal a lot as Falck (I'm a medic main).
But it's just that Rao, while he can apply a bit more pressure than other specialists, CAN'T effectively set up kills on aircraft because of the design overall.
Again, blowing flares before teh hack is up or simply flying away quickly to get some distance on missiles so you can flare after the hack expires, or using literally a tiny tree with some branches to break missile locks.
You can apply pressure, but you have zero control over setting up meaningful kills on aircraft. So it's a Rick and Morty "What is my purpose" meme, moment for Rao vs. aircraft.
He has way more interesting interactions vs. infantry with his ability to disable specialist skills and AoE spot groups and stuff. You can actually set up some plays against infantry or even vehicles, but there's no ability to effectively do so against aircraft.
Just trying to make them a bit less of a constant presence farming infantry every bloody round there's a good pilot.
