As a veteran tank main of the series who sees the balance from this perspective I can safely say the buffs to attack choppers firepower in season 3 was where the air vs ground balance took a nosedive.
Unfortunately in 2042 we had the Nightbird that was farming all armour for 3 whole years before the vehicle dev team removed one of it's AGMs which solved the issue immediately.
So after seeing the vehicle team fail spectacularly in 2042 I have little faith they understand what is happening on public servers and will continue to allow the attack choppers to dominate on certain maps when a good crew get in one.
