Below the radar — too many aircraft have ruined the infantry experience .

Third thread where you’ve copied/pasted the same rant, you literally have nothing else to do then plaster the same nonsense all over the forum…I’m tired now, I’ll let the mods correct you.

Hahahaha, so much for the fools who thought DICE was actually going to do something about the helicopters... have you guys seen Update 1.4.3.0 dropping tomorrow? Vehicle improvements: transport helicopters, the RCB90, and scout helicopters got tweaks to gameplay, balance, presentation, and handling. I told you they’d bring more improvements to the helis... and not to mention mobile AA is still the same piece of trash it’s always been. You guys don't believe me when I say this company is full of thieving rats... look at the nerf they planned for the helicopter: minigun overheating per bullet increased by about 33%, meaning it overheats roughly 1.5 seconds faster... 1 second... that’s basically nothing. DICE is blatantly calling you guys suckers. Go ahead, guys, keep playing this crap, this rigged game—I’ve said it before: this company is a bunch of thieves.

I feel you, it's absolutely miserable being an infantry player at the moment due to being farmed by helis and I genuinely don't believe they are going to do anything about it, it's already gone on for far too long. 

Agreed.  I would like to see more games devoid of aircraft.  I can begrudgingly accept death by tank, rpg, mines & snipers, but throw in instant death from the sky and the fate of infantry is a grim prospect . . . 

What can I say besides you're so right. One free advice: give the bf2 team a call and ask for help. I really hope they bring back the bf2 team for the next Battlefield release. 

Dude, ignore what that guy says. You could be playing with a whole squad and still fail to take down a guy in a helicopter. The people spouting that nonsense are helicopter pilots who don't want the match manipulation that favors helicopters to end. It’s ridiculous—a game where you need an entire squad just to bring down a single helicopter is unfeasible.

every time we get one rocket on the guy, he would hug the deck,  and b NIGH untouchable. SThat’s even with me staring right at him with a clear shot for a good 10 seconds. I can’t touch him at all because I can’t lock onto them. It’s total crap.

Not arguing the general gist at all, but if you're playing with friends, then do try painting with the recon binoculars: it removes the "too low" and "too far" constraints on stingers, allows you to lock almost instantly, and makes the missiles much more agile. It's not gonna change the miserable overall balance when you're on your own (which is most of us), but with friends in a squad, it can be genuine fun. For one thing, those pilots are very much not used to going down like that...

Edit: forget about doing that on Manhattan bridge though, there's simply no space for infantry to challenge helos. That map should not have any, period. 

I agree with you; until there is a significant boost to mobile anti-air defenses (like the Gepard) or a drastic reduction in the power of the Little Bird and attack helicopters, the situation will remain ridiculous. Some call it an imbalance, but to me, it goes beyond that: it’s manipulation (or blatant cheating).

It doesn't matter; what's breaking the balance is that mobile anti-air is weak. DICE needs to buff mobile AA across the board. Until mobile AA gets buffed, it’s pointless—this ridiculous situation DICE is intentionally creating will just continue.

Why do aircraft and vehicles get regenerative resupply, plus resupply stations and infantry get nada? 

In BFV we have infantry resupply stations on EVERY OBJECTIVE and it’s NOT AN ISSUE!!
