Why are they nerfing the Night bird?
It's the only helicopter that's actually half decent at killing infantry and it takes a good pilot with good aim for it to be effective. I think Dice needs to reconsider.

Because it is overperforming.
A good nightbird pilot can dodge AA missiles without even needing flare because of the speed.
Right now Nightbird doesn't even need to hit the target to get a kill its AoE splash is about 5 feet radius
They are simply making it so you actually have to hit the people you shoot to kill.
So a "Good PIlot" will not even feel the nerf.
@The_Suit05 Splash damage in the default rockets is terrible. Takes all 8 or whatever missiles to kill one person sometimes, even with direct aim at a enemy. Splash is considerably less than anything on BF4.
