HELICOPTER TOTALLY MADE USELESS

THANK YOU! There's some genius on here asking for an AA buff.. 

I was just starting to have a play with the helicopters in the game and I can say my experience is a sad one. I cant exactly claim false advertisement when the BF6 trailer had helicopters crashing left, right and center 😆.  

But yeah I was actually looking for strategies to stay alive longer which involved sitting back at the base and NEVER LEAVING!

The helicopters defences are limited as you said, the laser guided lock you cant shake without LOS which is difficult.

I find most of the problems come from

• Limited cover
• The spawning bases are too close to each other which results in a lock shortly after take off. 
• There's no mechanic to disrupt/delay lock when flying at low altitude like previous titles. 
• Helicopter defensive abilities are limited as we had smoke in previous titles to block laser. 
• Bases are too close together which results in half the enemy team targeting you at the same time. 

I prefer using the transports helicopters myself but good luck doing single troop drop off and getting out alive. Most players load up the chopper and proceed with a suicide run.

You forgot the rpg hit scan rockets which’s is even more effective then the aa rockets. 

And technically you can use it now like all others us the UH60 for getting on top of buildings and do some happy camping 

there was absolutely no reason to nerf the heli. so many anti air are in the game and heli is anyways one shot from every rocket almost. Also my friend says the flying is now harder in conqest. escalation is the only mode remaining for helis, but you get now 25% less xp and as soon you get the heli the game already over.
