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...

@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.Helicopters and osprey were already crushing the game but the developers had the brilliant idea to introduce a stealth helicopter.
Are the developers really playing their own game?
Air>Armor>Infantry
Its just the facts. JMHO, the ONLY thing needed is the elimination of Borg Regeneration on all platforms.
The issue isn't design, but player use. IRL, nobody would be sending tonnage to destroy 1 soldier. In BF, with unlimited ammo, its SOP.
Not allowing automatic healing (this does not include repair bot and repair tool), will change the balance dramatically.
As a FPS, people just have to understand that Kill Count and Kill/Death ratio are more important to players then piloting their vehicles as they were designed.
I was in a Conquest yesterday, and 2 tanks were on a node and neither was firing at each other. They were just mowing down infantry. That is what is wrong with the game
