Firestorm: Littlebird and Destructibility Feedback

Just curious about how people feel about the little bird on firestorm and the excessively destructible environments?  I play as recon in firestorm on conquest.

I feel the little bird is a seriously terrible choice for the map.  It is hard enough to kill helicopters but being harassed by a organized team in a transport chopper and then the attack heli and the little bird show up to kill you and remove any cover on every roof ........ omg does this get old.  I end up hating supporting my team because i have absolutely zero cover.   Why be recon and go B or A to help the team when your at a massive disadvantage on the ground and if your the roof ...... your the ONLY thing on the roof and you die instantly.  Resulting in me not caring about winning or losing or helping the team because where can i go as recon there isnt ANY cover.  FB3 had this figured out waywayway better even including 12 player teams resulting in way better game play.  

1)  Remove the little bird from firestorm

2) Turn down destructibility so infantry actually have some cover and recon can actually try to help the team.
