Air Play is Dead.
THEY LISTENED TO US!!! IT'S FIXED!! BACK TO THE SKIES!! Am I the only one who thinks that anti-air has completely ruined the entire aspect of air support and aircraft in the game? You get into the sk...

My Battlefield memory and experience goes back a long time. Here's the deal: "you reap what you sow."
In Battlefield 5, for example, I had no protection against planes (fixed AA guns were a joke) who would highlight me as a Sniper and then drop a freaking bomb on me. I would run back to my favorite spot, and that plane would come again and bomb, say, a tank? NO! He just had to bomb the poor Sniper who got maybe three headshots, maybe five, in an entire game. It got so bad, I would leave the game and join another one, like Aerodrome!
So, yes, I am guilty of being a Sniper, of a kind, because now I am an Engineer, a tank driver, a tank repairer, a Combat Engineer, and with my Anti-Air Tank I now dominate the skies!
The Battlefield folks have now balanced air power. I remember very well in past Battlefield series I was never able to successfully bring down aircraft. It was very, very difficult. And I was merely fodder for aircraft.
So, again, yes, I am a Combat Engineer and I HATE helicopters and jets!
I use three tanks: the main battle tank, the Infantry fighting vehicle, and the anti-air tank. They are awesome. You are correct in that I don't even need to leave a safe spot. Just give me a hill to shoot from and I am the armor-cladded Sniper of your nightmares!
I also destroy other tanks, other vehicles of any kind, and eliminate Infantry with my coaxial light machine gun.
And this, my friend, is now my Battlefield 6 dream come true!
🤣🤣 very true. After BF5 I was calling myself Maverick. It seemed the best way to combat aircraft then was to take them out at the runway. This is what I love about the game, we are so connected to the roles we pick up. I am a little hurt that so many people hate my birds. I'm just trying to give air support for my boy (and girls). The stingers aren't even where my beef is, it's those MR missiles that I can't even flair from. I just want to thrust vector some enemies and be able to hit a decent altitude. I feel like the mailman running for 20 dogs. Anti-air definitely needed a buff from past games but by doing that it's now unbalanced the other direction.
