The Night bird has been nerfed into oblivion.

And for the record, I speciallized myself as an anti-vehicle role, so I equip myself for it. This is the reason, why I have AGMs equipped. 

I have no interest in farming infantry for cheap kills and then jerking off to my K/D and think I'm the big player here. I use the Minigun for killing infantry, which are viable for that purpose and is way more satisfying. 

Infantry is the weakest member of the balance chain, so they have to be speciallized treated for that. 

I consider myself at best slightly above average, which is good enough for me. But there're far better pilots than me out there. And my fun in the game is going for the objective and support my team and squad with that. 

As you can see, the Little Bird is more than fine in it's role. I just still wish, Dice would nerf the anti-infantry missiles,  because ironically they were untouched in this update.
