Why heli should be nerfed
I will explain the environment regarding aircraft vs. infantry by contrasting it with the BFV. In the BFV, all aircraft were fixed-wing. Certainly, bombers and some fighters had powerful means of at...

The deterents exist
Rao hack (nothing will freak a heli more than this)
Lock on missiles
TGM (takes practice)
30mm flak (wildcat)
60mm flak (the weapon pod one)
30mm from the jeep/bolte
All needed is the upcoming patch that will give a dedicated slot on the jets that will finish any job that the infantry bellow start on the heli.
Edit:
Just the Wildcat has 4 different ways to damage the helis with 3 people inside:
1)main gun
2)AA missiles
3Gunner turret
4) Weapon pod 60mm flak
The problem of the wildcat is the same as with the jets. People taking their slots cause they want stuff that rack more kills on the ground
- @UP_Hawxxeye Certainly having jet fighters (and Wildcats) in independent slots could certainly be a good solution.
There are rumors that the silent patch has reduced the firewall effect time against Rao hacks, which may be more effective than one might think.
Since there are currently no independent slots and there is a vehicle cool time for each player, troll players who tank or ride off in a situation where they have no airspace control often end up launching their tanks. (Enemy pilots also dare not attack against them.)
I emphasize "infantry" armament because I want options that are not completely dependent on allies.@-VT-AnzuAriakeJPAs a purely independent infantry action one has:
M5 (hard to hit unguided without SOFLAM)
Stinger (the most common choice)
TGM (as said before)
AP bullets (not sure how effective they are)
Sniping the pilot (okay that is unlikely)
Anti armor grenades (for forcing flares)
Rao
Crawford (the vulcan can put hurt on a heli that is not at a high angle, try it)
Hook + M5/C5 with Mackay (for style points).
Generally if they are high and away, stingers, when they come closer, the other launchers come into play and then the rest if they really fly low.The most one size fit all combo is Rao with stinger
- @UP_Hawxxeye Certainly anti-armor is excellent for chasing them away. (I had my anti-armor confiscated by DICE. LOL)
In the end, I guess Rao + Stinger is the best solution for the current situation, although when it comes to dropping them, you have to work with your allies.
lol mackay, YOU ARE OP. :D
Thanks for the advice. I will try that.
