Stingers are OP. Honestly if you walk around with one i think you are just sad you aren't good enough to fly. My push back is there's a dozen new game modes that dont even have helicopters. If you want to use one you have to play conquest. If helicopters dominate one single game mode because they nerfed stingers or buffed helicopters I'm cool with that. They get one game mode. Either way 5 stingers that regenerate and also hit 100% of the time is ridiculous.
No, I was renowned for being a top helo players for years, me and my gunner owned the server when we are on.
Helos are not fun to fly in the game, it feels nothing like it should to me, but you know what is fun, blowing them up and having your support main friend keep you full stocked!
Stingers are fine, the VEHICLES need a Passover for health and a physics rework.
The biggest issue? Maps in the beta are too small for aerial vehicles realistically. BF4 did set a radar ceiling level at least for missile lock, so flying low enough and you wouldn't get a lock, but even so, you did have plenty of room to egress out of the area if getting locked by AA, other aircraft, or man portable AA. In the past, if aircraft became such a menace in a match, at least 5 engineers on the enemy team will always turn their attention towards you and you will have not 1, but 4-5 missiles coming at you from multiple angles. BF3 - we had the infamous crossbow with explosive tips that were a fast way to knock a low flying heli off its gyro and inadvertently cause the pilot to crash most of the time.
It is definitely a rookie mistake if you activate countermeasures on a lock and not once a missile has been launched. I will hold my lock on you for as long as possible before launching, just as the moment you fire of countermeasures without a launch indication is the moment that i laugh and fire as soon as i get a lock again.

"if you carry the one item currently in game that counters my free kill flying machine causing me to need to have to play a bit defensive then you are sad and you should just play a no vehicle mode" Holy crap this is the most delusional take ive ever heard. U gotta be one of those participation trophy mommy always told u how great u are, throw a fit anytime u hear the word no type of people.
Lol no chance. Battlefield has always been my main game and this is by far the hardest to stay up in the air as an apache. I'm just emphasizing how hard it is to stay up in the air. If you fly and are doing well with it in the beta than kudos man. I've put countless hours in to flying little birds, squad helicopters, and apaches. And right now in this beta form, I get locked on to as soon I spawn in one.
