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.
I mean..saying a good pilot can avoid AA in BF2042 is just a ridicolous comment to make. You cant really avoid it unless you are lucky. You have 1 set of flares... and opposing team has the ability to use AA launcher on all 64 people thats playing. Theres no way to avoid AA missiles, Sundance grenade rockets. Dont make an excuse for the AA Launcher just because you dont like Air vehicles.
