You're really telling me a * jet can't out run a condor or a transport helocopter. You're really telling me two damn missles from a jet can't kill a helo copter, two atg missles can't kill even a tank or an AA. It's like your entire team is profoundly disabled.
Exactly! The choppers can reach the same height ceiling (which doesn't make sense from a balance standpoint because they can target you from pretty much all angles/directions - multiple guns + EZ turn around vertical axis). Once they've reached up there, they can damage jets at a ridiculously fast rate. Now it's even more annoying to use jets because of the ridiculous buff AAs (wildcat) got
With nerfed jets, a really bad jet pilot who just joy rides the map back and forth is exactly how I use to get 130-150 stealth helicopter kills in a single game. They take up a slot and do about 5% damage a pass, and can be completely ignored..
If they are not going to buff the jets, perhaps force players into a jet pilot school before they are allowed to fly them in an actual game. Better yet make them blow up if they don't do any damage over 60 seconds...👿
Jets had been fun and useful 3-4 months ago, but not so much anymore...
NO.
Jets with AGMs were stupid OP against ground vehicles. Waste of time taking a tank as soon as a player spawned in a jet with AGMs.
Now Dice need to make similar changes to Stealth, Attack Chopper and Nightbirds AGMs who can achieve the same outcome against tanks and stay close to armour continuing to pound its health away while they wait for the next AGMs to reload.
Just bizarre, illogical vehicle balance by Dice.
It seems they just wait to see what people on the forums complain the most about and make changes while ignoring other blatant vehicle balance issues.

Truthfully, in a couple hundred+ hours of gameplay I can count on one hand the amount of times a jet was actually a decisive factor in a team winning. More often than not, it was the reason for losing, as others have said, as they take up the only slot for attack and everyone else can just do whatever they want.
There should be 2 jets per side allowed in addition to any helicopters that may be available. Vehicles in this game are beyond a joke.
