As I suggested in my post, wildcats were performing adequately well against jets prior to update 3.2. Anyone with decent aim can destroy an unsuspecting jet flying low with the wildcat's 30-mm cannon alone. It is naive to consider the jet-vs-wildcat balance in isolation; you also have to consider how changes to this balance will affect the performance of either against other vehicles. The massive buff to the wildcat's AA missile range (> 800 m) is far too disruptive to jet gameplay - severely impact their performance against choppers (which are already good enough to "defend themselves")

@Metal_Daryl97All I see from you is you want aircraft to pretty much dominate without any counter. I guess the better question would be what would YOU do to balance things between aircraft & the wildcat?
Do you know that 800 meters almost covers the entire map on certain maps?
This change can make dog fighting meaningless, why dog fight when the enemy AA is just gonna lock on you mid dog fight from across the map.
Nothing about this change fixes anything, it just makes what was already good, even stronger to the point of being OP. At this point they should just turn the AA Tank into an Anti Air Railgun Tank.
You also woefully overestimate the impact Jets have on the game.
Jets are also easily countered, have you not seen how strong the Nightbird of all aircraft is against the Jet? The Nightbird itself is a flying AA. So you literally need to fly to understand the meta, and I have a feeling who ever made these changes, never flew in-game before and are pandering to people who complained about the Stealth Heli without actually fixing what was wrong with the Stealth Heli.
