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...

@L3tH4l3rR0r Well, Psubond said this ''infantry needs to be able to shoot back effectively''.
Stingers are not effective, neither are javelin rockets with the current flares-system (certainly not after the unlogical dart nerf), tanks and helis are vehicles, the M5 isnt anti air (and doesnt work like such if used vs air who would've guessed) and misses far too much (just like the stinger), underbarrel launcher definitely wont work and you forgot one thing. Sniping the pilot. Which is equally as hard as using the M5 vs air.
DICE needs to play against helis as inf more imo.

@Wargame_Enj0yer you forgot everything else the heli goes against and those are capable of doing damage, If you want for sure kills, Lis can do it and since last patch she is more stronger, you have all the tools to deal with air power, like I've been saying, better for balanced maps than favoring one or the other, being a good pilot is difficult, I say you should try to fly for 1 week solid and see how it is.
In my experience I don't see heli's getting knocked out one after the other. I see them dominating areas they're controlling. The only thing I feel is the most effective against them is the wildcat. But there is 1 or 2 of those available and half the time people get them to just attack infantry, which is really annoying. Every game I play I now get the wildcat as soon as possible and focus on cutting out the enemy air. I always see the side that is controlling the air being the side that wins the match.
Good pilots see the wildcat and know to try and stay away, or get on a building for repair or something. Except for the little heli, if they can, they'll charge the wildcat and just fly in a tiny circle practically upside down sitting directly on top of it where the cat can't fire back and rocket it to death in a few seconds.
Sometimes I wish they'd just bring back the base rearming mechanic from BF2. Taking a helo out of the area for a few moments so it has to reload at a pad. THAT would stop certain pilots just creaming every single thing in sight with ridiculous (also frequently questionable) accuracy and TTK for the entirety of the round, and also stop them just running a tight ring around a vehicle, hitting it with a shot that conveniently jams the turret or reduces mobility, and staying there until reloaded to knock it out.
