You can't balance helis without playing them
It's okay to complain that helis are annoying but you can't tell how helis should be nerfed if you don't play them. Attack helis (Apache, Hokum, stealth helis and Nightbird) have become less aggress...

@Psubondin that case why have any air power at all? why have tanks? remove everything, even guns, we just run around with fists entire game. If you have problems with air power you have the tools to deal with it, most players don't want to, they want to play whatever and just expect others to take the heli down.
Changing the entire game just to suit other players is unrealistic, better to have good maps with balance, Air power is apart of battlefield, if you do not like it you have other modes, other games as well. I love airpower can it be good at times yes, but it can also be very bad having 4 lis rockets spammed at you, but you can against a crazy good player with LMG then what? nerf that into the ground too ?
if air can pound infantry then infantry needs to be able to shoot back effectively. it can't be a one way street. any time infantry shoots back helo pilots want whatever they are using nerfed.
if air can't be shot back at with a credible threat then they shouldn't be able to farm infantry
@Psubond That's the problem. Most people in Vehicles just want to be able to farm infantry and have no way to be taken down. Liz was buffed so that console players could actually use her and now every pilot is complaining and want her nerfed. It's never gonna be a two way street with them.
- @ZRuff46 Lis wasn't buffed to specifically give console players an advantage; the rocket worked fine on PC but never worked properly on consoles and was finally fixed (patch notes prove how busted it was on console). There's a huge difference.
How she is now is how she should've been since the start of Season 1 across all platforms. It's putting so many pilots in their place in revealing they're not as good as they think they are, hence all the crying.
If pilots can farm troopers, troopers can hunt them down with rockets. Balanced, as all things should be.- @UNL1M1T3D_P0W3R I agree but they did say they increased the turn speed and acceleration so that it was easier for console players to use them
- @ZRuff46 Yeah because it wasn't working properly on consoles, only PC. Shouldn't be something that works fine on one platform but not the other.
They also specified fixing a bug where the rocket moved slower when moving diagonally on console/controller (can confirm this was horrible and made it even more pointless to use).
The point is she was fixed, not buffed, and works as intended across all platforms as it should be. Every pilot crying about people simply being able to use her rocket effectively need to harden up or play Solo.
So glad she's fun now!
@UNL1M1T3D_P0W3RAt this point if I kill lizzlie should have 2 mins penalty time for respawning. It's easier to operate rocket than helo. You can do it in cover and don't have to worry about danger around you. So, if I kill Liz, 2minutes respawn penalty, so I wouldn't get spammed by same person(s) and sending me back to spawn menu from 45 seconds flight. (I am tier 600 with nb and handling nb is at my back spine).
