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...

@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.
@S3SSioN_SoLMy good boy, we already talked about this. I suggest you to play it before suggesting anything. And you die to a bird cause you fly in and run out of zone, you must turn which means you gain altitude and turn whole jets flatland on my sight. And I don't deny at all that jets requires skill, but if I would play 400 hours with jets, I'd probably dominate most matches by killing vehicles, especially with latest update. And 20mm overhears quick btw on bird. And I would take jets 30mm over 25.
Edit: but you take 25 because you want to strafe infantry.
Edit2: Most helicopters can dodge lockons.

I have over 580 hours in 2042. And over 4580~ hours including BF3, BF4 and BFV. My experience in 2042 is spread across all possible facets. Infantry, Tanks and Aircraft.
I'm old enough to be your mother, so don't insult me because you're failing to provide a logical counter argument as to why the broken and bugged vehicle that is the Nightbird needs to be fixed.
You yourself said you're happy that you can exploit the bugs it has, so clearly you're Nightbird main and are very happy going 80 and 0 with a broken vehicle.
I'm done replying to you as you consistently derail the point of this thread and opted for an ad hominem response because you know that it's a bugged and broken vehicle and can't defend that.
- @S3SSioN_SoL Amen. Meanwhile, DICE is looking at it's feet. Not a word on the vehiclebalance state of BF2042. Nor on the big gaps in meta when it comes to the (arcade) gunplay.
Cross fingers and hope DICE actually does any thing with all the feedback they receive here.
