Time to finally balance the EBAA Wildcat?
I've been trying out jets for a while now. while they can be fun if you get a lucky match, most of the time, their entire gameplay loop involves hanging around the edge of the map, spamming flares an...

That one spot on Spearhead makes that map completely unbalanced to the advantage of the RU side because it is easier to access it from that direction.
The Wildcat though needs to have damage dropoff for the 30mm. It has 100% damage up to the max 700m distance.
Its AA missiles have a max 600m lock range, that's double the 300m range required for an AGM to lock on the Wildcat. This is fair, IMO, but the fire rate of the two AA missiles should be more spaced out, but not as slow as it was previously.
@Shibiwani thought they were 600m as well, but i spent 15 minutes quadruple checking, and from what i saw, they were 700m. now that wouldn't be THAT much of a problem, IF the 30mm didn't have such fast bullet speed and lack of damage falloff, along with it's missiles only taking 7-8 seconds to reload, about 0.5 seconds to lock on, plus the fact that the wildcat comes with thermal smoke
and lets consider the jets. their AGMs only do 35 damage per hit, they take 16 seconds to reload a single missile, and take up to 3 seconds to lock on. to say they are at a disadvantage is a gross understatement. they're borderline unusable against a half decent wildcat player

Two AGMs, finish off with bombs. Only catch is you have to strike them when they are distracted or you get instantly killed as you approach them uncloaked to use the AGMs.
Nerf a Vehicle!
That's just crazy talk
- @Shibiwan AAs have longer lock on range, something like 800m
