We need 2 jets to keep it interesting in the air, So far jets seem kinda balanced against infantry and vehicles (kinda) but Jets feel weak with one in the air. It also doesn't help that the new Rail Tank can take us out halfway across the map, add freaking bullet drop after 400 meters or something, the Jets are a joke now if we keep it to 1 and we can get 1 shot from a hit scan tank. add some steep bullet drop after 400 meters or weaken to half the Jet HP after 400 meters. It makes it look like the rail tank is a hacker XDThe jets aren't fun in BF2042, they were getting better until Rail tank. I have had a blast in BF3 and less in bf4 but it was okay still. It's just going to ground us or people just going to "taxi" the jet only.

@TwiztedMannix how tf you getting shot by the tor?No.

If you're dying in a JET to the TOR, you're playing the jet incredibly wrong.You can barely move the tank turret while it's charging the beam, and it's a long charge up. It's hard enough to hit a transport hele - it's hard enough to even get ANGLE to hit anything in the sky, or on the ground below you, for that matter.There's no way the TOR is OP vs jets, just don't hover 20 meters high.Sources: T1 TOR already

The railgun tank is not hitscan. Its a projectile with extreemely high velocity. At long and even medium-long ranges you will still miss the target if you do not lead with it. It's only one-shot to small air/jet with upgraded weapons and while in siege mode. Siege mode drastically limits turret angle and increases "wind-up" time for the gun. Hitting a high-speed jet at range is non-trivial. Yes, it happens. But I miss the jet way more often when it's at long rage. And if its close range, it should be flying high enough that its outside the angle of the turrets capability.

We Need 2 jets and Rail tank is OP...

@0_KatsuiOh look, small bump, I'll ride tank on it so it lifts tanks nose/turret. Jet at about 300m or more altitude and about 1km away, jets pilot should feel safe, small anticipatation and kaboom, jets gone. T1 user should know that? Turret moves slow yes, it's even better cause when object is far, you give that anticipation and small move gives that fine adjustment. Idk worked well for me. But again Idk how you play, camping in mainbase or on the move/close to objectives.
Edit: I'm a bit bragging about that tank is cause people say no, it's not easy to use that tank, or pilot is not skilled enough to dodge without knowing there is one on field and if tank user gets that shot, he gets that kill. Just do darn homework. <--- last line meant for everyone.

@Man_iLoveFishing Relax at any point? Feel safe?! I’m constantly running cover to cover and ALWAYS strafing in some manner to avoid being an easy target in ALL shooters.

Do homework? What does that even mean? Everyone is giving their own personal experience here.

Finding a small rock or whatever to get angled towards the sky is a pain. It’s hard to find something that works in the correct direction, angle, somewhat in cover, and then you have the insane amount of clipping in this game. I can barely crouch or circle strafe without clipping into the ground or being pushed around by geometry.

never mind the fact that if someone like me can find a spot that i can see a ways i'll plink away at the tank and you will either have to kill me or move cause you won't get health back and i will eventually kill you

hell yea it is. haven't tried the ntw yet but the rail gun is GREAT for harassing a vehicle that is trying to camp out of bounds (in their spawn)

@RaginSamAs infantry? Everything you get killed by is mostly at 0-200m radius. If someone snipes you, it's part of it. But ever never the ever in bf history someone took you out with a tank one shot 1km away while you flying with jet. Ofc you have hard to find cover cause you are in the middle of crisis and chaos. Let's not forget medics that pull you up and let's not forget instant medped regen.
When you drive your car, you drive with care not to scratch it right? I fly with care not to die. (survive as much as possible)
