@S3SSioN_SoLwhen it comes to the jets using their guns on anything smaller than a transport helicopter, the jets have issues both seeing the small aircraft in time to aim a shot (if the target has the ground behind them instead of the sky ) and generally in hitting the target due how small the hitboxes of the helicopters can be.
It is even worse vs nightbirds that are often both too small to hit and the active radar missiles often manage to detonate without damaging them.
As about the anti vehicle missiles...They they are literally called anti vehicle missiles so it makes sense they are good at that job. Otherwise all people would not use the attack helis.
Someone could argue that they have a large splash vs infantry though.
As it has been said by others. Jets need a higher flight ceiling than the other aircraft. They also need better control while they are flying slowlly
This is because Jet maneuverability is terrible and disparities exist between the Faction Jets. An average pilot will either over estimate or under estimate time to engage and thus miss their target or crash into the ground.
Jet's need a proper radar that shows air vehicles.
Again, these anti-vehicle missiles are too good, they're far superior to anti-infantry missiles. They two shot infantry! They should do far less damage to infantry and should be purely anti-vehicle with necessary visual effects to highlight if it's airbursting or not because right now, your missile can whoosh past and still deal damage. Also I doubt people would stop using Attack Helis just because their missiles got balanced, you must not forget that the main point of the Apache and Super Hokum is the area control provided by the gunner. Everything else is just bonus.
A higher flight ceiling will just make it so Jets fly directly above their targets the entire time... And lowering the flight ceiling for other aircraft will make it so the Anti Air Tank can reach those aircraft with ease due to their recent buffs. The Jet's gun needs to actually be useful. If they can't fix the maneuverability of the Jets, then they must just dumb down the guns on the Jets and give the guns the ability to lock on within a certain distance, I'd prefer if they fixed the maneuverability instead.
