Attack Helicopter — Killing Machine. Mobile Anti-Aircraft Unit That Never Gets

You must of got the game recently then haven't you the anti air was extremely overpowered it would sit in spawn locking onto anything it could see and the pilots were unable to do anything because they were in spawn if we tried to straff them we would get obliterated by the aa and the base aa if we dropped bombs the base aa would shoot them as soon as we dropped them blowing us up any lock on missiles would be blown up by base aa making it impossible to kill so people were begging for months for them to fix it and they did now your begging for them to fix it being bad as a pilot we have so many more things to deal with then a aa shooting at us and shooting missiles at us we have other jets we have all the tow missiles getting shot at us we have everyone locking onto us as everyone plays engineer to try and combat the tanks then for helicopters the attack helicopter is meant to be strong it's a apache there is a reason they are so strong there is one of them on each side and on only some maps they are meant to be strong it's a helicopter with missiles it's just how it is in real life 

You're completely wrong. Mobile AA stays at the base because its armor is ridiculous—just four heavy rockets destroy it, or two RPG hits. Plus, its cannon deals no damage to helicopters or infantry; just compare the kill counts in a match. Attack helicopters have low-altitude radar, which mobile AA lacks, and they have much greater mobility across the map. In the real world, if a helicopter got close to a Gepard, it would be destroyed in seconds—don't talk nonsense. In reality, helicopters stay far away from Gepards because they wouldn't last five minutes in direct combat. You're talking a lot of nonsense, man.

Sorry, man, but you're completely wrong. Let's look at this—with all due respect. Just as missiles used to miss mobile AA units sitting at the base—which was the case in previous seasons but isn't anymore—it wasn't just mobile AA; helicopters would sit at the base waiting for missiles and remain totally immune. So, *any* vehicle was immune at the base, not just mobile AA. Another point: mobile AA has to worry about jets, helicopters, infantry, and tanks. Mobile AA armor is extremely weak; the cannon deals no damage to helicopters, infantry, or tanks, and it's strictly short-range. Mobile AA doesn't have low-altitude radar stealth like helicopters do; it has a higher speed and a much larger flight path profile. Just four attack helicopter rockets can destroy mobile AA—imagine if there's a gunner involved too; there's no time to react. Plus, with the mobile AA cannon, you have to empty the entire ammo supply three or four times just to take down a helicopter. In real life—you clearly don't know much about warfare—a Gepard at short or medium range against *any* helicopter in the world... its 35mm cannon would destroy any helicopter in under 10 seconds. A helicopter's only chance against a Gepard in real life is at long range; at short or medium range, it would be turned into a sieve in under 10 seconds. So, you need to rethink your arguments.

I am writing to share what every Mobile Anti-Air player experiences in almost every match: the Mobile Anti-Air vehicle is easily hunted down and destroyed by Attack Helicopters. It is not a fair fight — it is a one-sided elimination.

The Attack Helicopter comes in with full advantage:

- It sees you before you even detect it

- It strikes from beyond effective range

- It has powerful weapons that tear through your armor quickly

- It can evade your missiles and counter-attack immediately

- By the time your missile locks on, you are already taking heavy damage

We are supposed to be the air defense of the team — instead, we are easy prey. We get destroyed repeatedly by the very aircraft we are meant to stop. There is no equal ground, no fair chance to defend ourselves. It feels less like a defensive vehicle and more like a target on wheels.

Please look at this seriously. The Mobile Anti-Air should deter and threaten aircraft — not be their easiest kill. Give us survivability, give us response time, give us a fighting chance.

I am writing this with true feeling from many matches: the Mobile Anti-Air vehicle is weak against almost everything in the game. It does not stand a fair chance against anyone.

- Against Attack Helicopters: We get hunted and destroyed easily. They strike first, they evade, they counter-attack — and our missiles fail, drift, or fall to the ground instead of reaching them. We are the target, not the defense.

- Against Tanks and Ground Vehicles: Our cannons spread too much, damage is low, and we cannot fight back properly. We are slow, vulnerable, and outgunned.

- Against Infantry: We are too slow to respond, too big to hide, and too weak when they get close. We get taken out by rockets and gadgets before we can turn around.

We are supposed to be a defensive vehicle — instead, we feel weak from every direction. No matter who comes at us, we struggle.

And honestly? It feels like DICE does not care about Mobile Anti-Air players at all. Infantry gets tuned, helicopters get balanced, tanks get adjusted — but the Anti-Air vehicle stays broken and neglected, patch after patch. It leaves me with the sad feeling that you simply do not like this vehicle or the players who choose to use it.

We do not ask to rule the game — we ask to be functional. We want to defend our team without being destroyed by every class and vehicle in the match. Please give Mobile Anti-Air the attention, the fixes, and the respect it deserves.

Every match makes one thing clear: the gap between Attack Helicopters and Mobile Anti-Air is unfair and one-sided. We are meant to threaten aircraft — instead, we are their easiest prey.

The Attack Helicopter spots us first, strikes from beyond our reach, and pulls away before our missiles can even lock on properly. When we finally do get a lock, the missile often veers off and plummets straight into the ground instead of climbing toward the target. We stand defenseless while the vehicle we’re supposed to counter destroys us.

They carry powerful weaponry, have sturdy armor, and reliable countermeasures — we have nothing that matches their advantage. They decide when to engage and when to leave; we just take hit after hit with no real way to fight back.

Updates come and go — tweaks for infantry, changes for other vehicles — yet this imbalance never shifts. It feels like Mobile Anti-Air simply isn’t a priority. We don’t ask to dominate the skies — we ask for a fair chance to protect our team without being hunted down before we can even respond.

Please address this. The Attack Helicopter shouldn’t be an automatic death sentence for anyone driving Mobile Anti-Air.

Silly noob. Our only reason to exist in BF6 is to help helicopter pilots level up.  

I play Mobile Anti-Air match after match, and the same story repeats: Attack Helicopters dominate while our systems fail. We are supposed to counter air threats — instead, we are helpless against them.

The locking process takes far too long. By the time our missile acquires the target, the Attack Helicopter has already struck, broken contact, and moved out of range. Worse still — when we finally do get a lock, the missile often dives straight toward the ground rather than climbing to meet the helicopter. It is demoralizing to aim, fire, and watch your own weapon abandon the target.

Attack Helicopters see us first, hit harder, evade easily, and reload their countermeasures quickly. We have no equivalent advantage. Every patch brings changes elsewhere, but these fundamental flaws persist. We do not ask to overpower everything — we ask for our weapons to actually track what they are aimed at. Please fix the targeting and flight behavior. Let us defend the team properly.

I am writing because the matchup between Mobile Anti-Air and Attack Helicopters is simply not balanced. It is not a fight — it is a hunt, and we are the prey.

The Attack Helicopter engages from beyond our effective range. It delivers heavy damage before we can even bring our systems to bear. By the moment our guns or missiles become effective, we have already taken crippling hits. We are slow, we cannot close the gap, and we cannot escape. Their flares and defensive systems work reliably; our tracking and response times remain inadequate.

It feels as though Attack Helicopters are designed to win every exchange from the start. Meanwhile, Mobile Anti-Air players are left in a vehicle that cannot survive what it exists to stop. Other vehicles get armor tweaks, weapon adjustments, and responsiveness fixes — we get nothing. Please give Mobile Anti-Air the durability, range, and response speed to stand its ground. Let it be a threat to aircraft, not a target for them.

There is a pattern that has become impossible to ignore: every update brings attention to infantry, to tanks, to scout helicopters — yet Mobile Anti-Air remains unchanged and overlooked. The gap between Attack Helicopter capability and our own defensive ability has widened, not narrowed.

They possess superior radar, standoff weaponry, rapid rearming, and robust defense. We struggle to maintain locks, struggle to hit what we aim at, and struggle to stay alive long enough to matter. When we do manage to get a missile away, it veers off course or falls short. We send videos, we share clips, we describe exactly what happens — match after match, update after update — and nothing shifts.

It leaves the impression that Mobile Anti-Air is simply not valued. We are not asking to rule the skies — we are asking to be heard. We are asking for the same care given to every other vehicle class. If Attack Helicopters are refined and protected, why are we not? Please stop leaving Mobile Anti-Air behind. Give us the fixes that have been missing for so long.
