Time to nerf Wildcat
You have nerfed everything else pretty much but AA still stays stupidly strong. Can you please tell me what is the the safe height and distance to avoid being locked by insanely overpowered small...

@ImmutabIeDid they buff it recently? I didn't see anything in the patch notes and I've honestly been exclusively playing Redacted, but last time I played the Wildcat if anything was under performing. An attack Heli could just fly straight at you take all your shots and out damage the Wildcat no problem.
Not everything has to be a skill based thing either, there's plenty of examples throughout the game where that argument falls apart instantly. The Wildcat isn't meant to be a difficult vehicle to use. As a pilot you SHOULD fear it. It moves slowly and while it has decent range, it's not that far either. The maps are big and air vehicle are given lots of space to work with outside of the playable area for ground infantry and vehicles.
As a pilot you decide when and where you want to attack. The problem is everyone has gotten so use to just getting out of trouble and not having to worry at all about over extending, just flare and get out.
The Wildcat has been nothing but nerfed from the start. Excruciatingly slow turret speed which finally got buffed, but still pretty slow. The 30mm cannon now sucks and can get out damaged by an attack Heli in a head to head fight. It's slow to get moving with clunky driving mechanics that bounces you around everywhere. Smoke to break a lock takes far longer to regenerate then the flares on any air vehicle. Explain that one to me.
@RaginSamExactly! Helicopters with AGM rocket pods smoke ground vehicles instantly! And as you said, air vehicles can fly to locations the Wildcat can't even reach. Everytime I lock on with it the enemy pilot just flies below radar or behind some obstacles, of which the maps are loaded. And if that doesn't work they pop flares, fly off to some edge of map location until their flares regenerate. Let's not forget that also the 30 mm AA cannon is worthless against infantry, making you a sitting duck!
Nefring the guided missiles on the helicopters is the best either the damsge the reload speed or to 1
- @RaginSam bro i played with a wild cat earlier on breakaway and with the missiles i was covering HALF the map
- @RaginSam On renewal map this isnt too much of a case while true you have this massive border to hide the enemy AA can just come over and if your team isnt looking you can die - talking about jets mainly-
- @RaginSam Why go in a head to head fight while you can just always look out for the heli? Its not hard to spot an air vehicle you just need practice and to focus on destroying the target
- @RaginSam The wildcat deserves thoose nerfs due to how many vehicles can have anti air - the cav bralwer 25 mm ads can 2 shot a nightbird so probably 4 shot an attack heli also you can have a 20 mm flak - the mav also can have a 50 mm cannon and a 40 mm auto cannon which are not the best but do awesome damage - then the eblc ram A MASTERPIECE against choppers escpesially with the rocket pods 20 mm flaks and anti air missiles on seat 3
