There’s nothing wrong with the helicopters, the real issue lies with the maps. They’re far too small and poorly designed. On most maps, the moment you lift off from your HQ, anyone anywhere can immediately lock on to you.
Helicopters were never meant for low-altitude, close-quarters combat. They’re meant to be support vehicles. Unfortunately, the DICE developers made a major mistake. They looked at heat maps from previous games, noticed that most of the action clustered in small areas, and decided to shrink the map designs.
They completely missed the point... those open spaces are what made air vehicles viable.
After around seventy hours flying helicopters, I’ve concluded that the only real fix is to uninstall the game. Battlefield has lost its identity. It’s now catering to Call of Duty players. None of the current maps can properly support helicopter gameplay. The fact that every survival strategy for pilots now involves hugging the ground and hiding behind buildings says it all.
Oil Fields is the worst offender. Anti-air units can sit safely in their own base and shoot you while you’re still in yours, barely ten meters off the ground. It’s obvious DICE’s playtesting focused solely on infantry, not combined arms.
The best strategy at this point is to remove the attack helicopters from the game to atleast avoid the frustration.
If we take into account what can one shot you
a sniper
a tank
a jet
a rpg
aa
land mines
Yes. Land mines. The map design is so utter trash, you have to fly so low you now get killed by land mines in a **bleep** helicopter and the devs think this is fine.
Hence. Uninstall. But i had to say my peace before giving up on this trash piece of sht game.
