Battefield 4 had a similar issue where the repair tool would only "reach" certain spots of the vehicle. But it was tolerable there because aiming at that particular spot of the vehicle always worked. In BF2042 the spot is seemingly tiny and randomly moves around, constantly popping in and out of existence with no apparent rhyme or reason, but seemingly exacerbated by the movement of the helicopter.
It's basically like trying to thread a needle in a haystack. Absolutely not intended design. If the aim was to balance, they would lower the repair rate, not make it a frustrating hassle to use a gameplay mechanic.
I don't expect it will ever get fixed. The game's still full of more severe bugs like turning into a sliding zombie, the tank you're in phasing through the world, being unable to exit a vehicle, the jump/climb action becoming non-responsive, and whatever else I've come upon recently. One weird one is if you have a Dualsense plugged in, your view will get pointed to the ground and your mouse won't work. It's kind of impressive that the game's state is still this wonky. By the time they'll get to this repair bug we might not need computers to experience battlefield 2042.
