Since the last patch, these are the perceptions.
1: My drone is easily spotted and shot down. Wasnt before
2: My range is about 130 meters down, from 250ish
3: My drone seems slower and less agile
4: When I blow something up with C5, I don't get credit for the vehicle or player destruction
These are feel like Nerfs. Huge nerfs. If they are nerfs, Casper is pretty much unplayable. He was far from an OP choice to play.
/Cry
Good
anything that makes the drone less reliable with c5 is a good thing.
problem would have been solved if c5 just falls through the drone but I can live with the new range and also that you now lock on to them via AA stinger.
is the laggy zick-zack flying also fixed ? It is the mainreason why they are so damn hard to shoot down to
There’s nothing in this game if your an infantry player am afraid.
Other games do infantry play far far better but if you like using a bolte or helicopter your good to go..
People complained about C5 droning so naturally Dice Sweden 'fixed' everything but that.
I must be lucky because of all the hours of playing I have only been C5 droned a couple of times. I remember the uproar when people used to put the C4 on jeeps in BF2. It would make people so mad lol.
Since the patch, virtually 29% of my drone have been destroyed during take off. That never happened before. This is due to the change in drone detection and reduced range.
I have been found by other radars (Rao, and Paik) 20% of the time. This was about 2% before. This is due to me having to be at 130 meters of my target
My drone is getting shot out of the sky more often. (drones are slower and less maneuverable and AA can now lock on them)
Casper has been destroyed
Let me give examples of how to destroy others.
Sundance's wingsuit can now only be depoyed for 4 seconds and has a 2 minutes cooldown

No human pilots will used in attack aircraft in 2042 in real life.
The only ones who complain about drones & c5 are the players who do not play infantry.
In war you use everything at your disposal if you do not like that idea find another game to play.
So you think aircraft ,tanks etc should have free roam to get your easy kills?
The game has specialists so that players play alone thats why no VOIP etc on release.
Teamplay is not what this game was intended for.
It was made for who pays the most wins!! But unlike FIFA EA got it wrong.
Drones will not replace pilots in 20 years. Will there be more drones? Yes. Will the majorith of tactical fighter and attack aircraft still be manned? Definitely.
To stop a drone you simply need to jam it and it loses control and at best it will RTB.
the real world isnt ace combat
