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...

Passing it on to the teams.
So air vehicles can shoot AGM down to all vehicle targets on the ground. Some ground vehicles besides the AA have weak anti air guns.
What we had on Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 was the best balance between all vehicles. Tanks could laser desigate and were also armed with a guided shell that would hit target locked vehicles just like a Javelin "Top Down" shell. That would be a good option for tanks on the commander seat to add a SOFLAM since that fourth seat its basically useless
The driver can just shoot its guided shell.
@rop81 Arguably Battlefield 4 had even worse air vehicle balance.
A good pilot, gunner combo would just time the respawn of the enemy Heli and TV missile it every, single, time.
Furthermore, Battlefield 4 suffered from useless Stingers. The Maps were far more balanced however, for both vehicles and infantry, so aircraft would just use ECM and casually enjoy their advantage whilst the only surefire way to take them down was dumbfire rockets, an absolute headache compared to the ease of which attack helis fought. I still have PTSD from Siege of Shanghai, brilliant map but not when the Chopper Duo was online...But 2042 has something BF4 didn't, Rao. Sadly however Rao is pretty bad without a missile launcher and needs to be majorly buffed.
I understand talking about the past, but lets not derail this post. It is about the Nightbird and how broken and bugged it is.- @S3SSioN_SoL Sure the topic name is also "The Nightbird's AGM should be Nerfed"
and we are also not talking about Rao.
So the point is that some vehicles have issues by constantly being hit by air to ground missiles and hard to defend themselves. So I said why not add a SOFLAM to the fourth seat of a tank or other vehicles and add the guided shell to the tank as previous games.
But 2042 has something BF4 didn't, Rao. Sadly however Rao is pretty bad without a missile launcher and needs to be majorly buffed.@rop81 Could you hack vehicles in Battlefield 4 and 3? Imagine if you could.
Rao is literally the answer to vehicle balance but he can only be that balance if he himself is balanced. Rao is so far off the scale, that he is literally a walking TUGS. lmao.
There can only be so many vehicles on the map at a time, infantry should be able to rely on themselves to deal with vehicles, and vehicles already do a good enough job as it is but some vehicles... are too strong (Nightbird and Railgun Tank). And some specialists are really bad, Crawford, Boris and Rao for instance. If they were far better at their jobs, they could deal with vehicles better and feel more useful.
@rop81 And by the way, I already agreed with you as reflected here:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/SOFLAM-For-Tanks-and-Other-vehicles/m-p/12436415/highlight/true#M165974I am merely making the point that if 2042 were a table, it's legs are all uneven lengths.
@S3SSioN_SoLI get your frustration because I also hate being on the ground and being obliterated by a little bird.
