Wildcat nerfs

@MavricKIXnot just that, the range for both their 30mm and missile launchers are absolutely absurd. i actually did a test today and on smaller maps like spearhead, if a Wildcat is sitting on the hill behind C1, they can reach from one end of the map to another. if the driver is particularly good, none of your aircraft can even reach the E sector without losing 75% of their HP.

and good luck trying to take them out as an aircraft. their lock on speed takes less than a second, the missiles reload faster than your flares recharge they come with THEIR OWN thermal smoke, have the health pool of an actual tank (despite being light armor), and their 30mm does more damage per second than a plane is able to react, then turn. oh yeah, the planes in this game have the aerodynamics of a brick. PLEASE fix them

@UP_Hawxxeyewildcat being hard counter for aircraft is fine, what is not fine is that wild cat can reach a lot of the air space from it's spawn, means the counters to wildcat are pretty much gone, I disagree with not letting them fire their weapons in spawn though, because they should be able to defend themselves if their spawn is attacked and/or if the wildcat itself is attacked in the spawn by aircraft, wildcat atm only seems somewhat balanced for the largest maps in bf2042, while for other maps they can pretty much dominate the airspace uncontested while being safe from tanks and infantry, nerfing the range could be an option but that might make them too weak for the super large maps, so honestly don't know a good solution for this, but wildcats are definitely way too strong on quite a few maps atm

Air Pilots vs Ground Pilots.    Im loving it.  

EZMode is still not EZEnuff.

Air can fire on infantry from unGodly ranges, yet, when someone fires on them from the same range, it is unfair.   DICE, when are you going to make Pilots immune so they can farm infantry with unlimited ammo, unlimited fuel, from an unlimited range?  Inquiring minds want to know.

The problem is that oftentimes, the only option IS to 1v1 the wildcat because he's sitting in their spawn where infantry and the tanks can't get to him. Meanwhile you're forced to fly below radar otherwise he'll be able to lock you no matter where you pop up on the map. It's missiles have twice the range and half the recharge rate of the AGMs. Plus, it takes 2 AA missiles to kill aircraft, but 3 AGMs to kill a wildcat. Landing an entire 16 rocket burst from the hydras isn't enough either. They need to reduce the range and increase the cool down time of the AA missiles and put the RAM back into the light armor category. 

Yes please make all weapons the same with the same damage ... real fun game that will be then. 

Nerf wildcat? Just couple of days ago jet destroyed my wildcat with rockets just in one run and wildcat is so slow that there was no way to avoid the destruction either. There is no active protection for wildcat so it's helpless.

Ok I didn't notice how old the original post was as there was only "April". Anyway at current state jets with rocket pods just deletes wildcat. Well they delete everything else too but that's just the name of the game of battlefield francise.
