The wildcat is currently atrociously weak
The 2 non-joke primary weapons make you choose between being able to fight back against (30mm) nightbirds, stealth helicopters and jets that are flying about, or (35mm) attack helicopters, air transp...

@Man_iLoveFishing @Man_iLoveFishing Ah yes, because you need to have a full four man wildcat to kill a single person in a jet or AH... never heard that one before. Every time this is brought up; "DoN't FoRgeT AbOut The FLak." The flak that only does a whopping 18/8 damage per shot, than any pilot can get away from really easily--especially jets.
What, you can get one hit in with flak and a good burst of whatever primary the driver's using before the jet's already in the stratosphere and any helo pilots are on the other side of the map camping out of bounds repairing?
Which all of this is so funny when you look at the fact it's coming from a guy who doesn't dare touch the ground, let alone a wildcat, because they only know how to spam click a heli in the spawn screen.
Do we want to go to the other heli-main argument when people complain about helicopter survivability and just say of "Oh--you wouldn't last three seconds in a heli. This takes so much skill to do, blah blah blah, infantry just suck." and turn it around on the heli pilots?
Which, sure--I'll admit; I'm being hypocritical saying that because I'm never touching those broken pieces of flying garbage ever and I'm not touching a wildcat either because it is so bad against said flying garbage. BUT *neither does any heli-main I ever see* (which, I can guarantee, includes you :D).

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. The wildcat should be able to fly and have ac5ive protection for 5 minutes. It should be able to teleport across the map.
