The Nightbird's AGM should be Nerfed
As it stands now, the Nightbird can too easily solo any tank. It's AGM reloads way faster than a Jet and replenishes just as fast. This should be halved. Only the attack Heli should have that kind o...

@Man_iLoveFishing I hate imbalanced or broken game mechanics. Such as what were the Jets which are now balanced against each other. Jets can't destroy a tank in 2 strafes, a Nightbird can in 1 flyby, that's broken. There's only one Helicopter that should have that kind of power and it's the Attack Heli in my opinion.
Also, you shouldn't be glad that you're exploiting a bug. Bugs like this is why air vehicles get nerfed into the ground.
@S3SSioN_SoLIt's not one fly by. It takes 4 agms to destroy a tank. And if tank has thermal and aps, fight will last for 3 minutes or even longer and that's only cause tanks is alone camping somewhere.
- @Man_iLoveFishing Any competent pilot will bait out the APS. The 30MM Guns do a lot of damage in the mean time. The reload speed is way too fast so 4 AGM's is nothing. And it is 1 flyby, I literally did it myself.
@S3SSioN_SoL20mm* and you are vournable against competent pilot with mg. Still, it would take some time to take out tank with aps and thermals. Btw I ran jet yesterday and destroying vehicle with jet is even easier. 30mm prrrprr and bait thermals out with agm and reloop, woala.
@Man_iLoveFishing They may as well be 30MM as they do that kind of damage.
Most Nightbird pilots run the miniguns instead, and those miniguns absolutely shred every single other aircraft, even Jets because of their pinpoint accuracy.
Jets are far, far more balanced than the Nightbird.
Jets are constantly challenged by other Jets and the enemy AA, the same absolutely cannot be said about the Nightbird.
You can seldom track the Nightbird with the Jet's miniguns due its crazy agility, its maneuverability makes it easy to evade lock ons. And that's when the Nightbird's OP pinpoint accuracy shows when it simply turns and shreds Jets with its miniguns, the only way to combat this is to fly directly above it and hope the Pilot crashes. Not to mention the bug that lets it dodge locked on missiles whilst not even being below radar. There's no skill involved.
With the Jet and the 30MM at least there's skill involved. You have to literally time your dives, dive at the wrong time and you're literally toast. But again, the Jet's 30MM is absolutely garbage, there is no scenario where you would take it over the 25MM.
The Nightbird is a broken, buggy vehicle and it needs to be fixed. In my opinion, it shouldn't even have AGMs if it has the kind of agility that it has.Oh, and I forgot to mention, the Nightbird can be repaired by passengers. Just another reason why the light heli needs to be nerfed, it can't be this strong whilst still having people repair it.
So in summary:
- Its AGMs are OP in comparison to all other aircraft.
- Its agility coupled with insane accuracy is imbalanced.
- Its a bugged vehicle that can dodge locked on missiles. (Whilst being above 20 meters)
- It can't land without toppling over.
- The pilot can die from an explosion behind the aircraft.
- The Jets AGMs should be swapped with the Nightbird, or the Nightbird's missile silo count should be reduced to just 1 Rocket and not 2.
- The only aircraft that should have the killing power to destroy a vehicle in one flyby is the Attack Heli, not a light heli.
