Are helicopters too strong right now?

I can relate to this experience. Helicopters are also among the most challenging enemies for me, especially since the Little Bird was introduced.

In my matches, there are usually two manageable outcomes. Either the helicopter becomes annoying enough that several teammates switch to Engineer and focus on shooting it down, after which the match becomes balanced and enjoyable again.
The real problem occurs when there is a skilled pilot but not enough players equipped for anti-air duty. In that situation, the helicopter can establish almost complete air dominance, and it becomes extremely difficult for infantry to do anything about it.

Since the Top Gun update, I have also found it challenging to take down jets. I use the Anti-Armor Training Path with the IGLA, but their flares often seem to recharge just in time for my second missile, so I am rarely successful alone. I probably still need more practice with the timing. ;-)

Don’t give up! Switch to Engineer, ask your team to help, focus on objectives that provides a Mobile Anti-Air vehicle. Deny enemy pilots freedom over the battlefield.
