Over Powered Air - Needs Balance

Battlefield 6 has a lot of potential, but the current balance of helicopters and other air assets is a serious concern. Right now, air vehicles feel significantly overpowered compared to the available counters on the ground. Skilled pilots can dominate entire matches, making infantry and ground vehicle gameplay frustrating and, in some cases, nearly irrelevant.

Please consider rebalancing air assets by reducing their survivability, offensive power, or increasing the effectiveness of anti-air options. If this issue is not addressed, it risks driving players away and hurting the long-term health of the game. Battlefield is at its best when all playstyles feel effective and balanced.

If you don't fix this, the game will be abandoned by most.  Learn from the mistakes of the past.  Look back at the balance of BF2 or Bad Company 2 and make adjustments.  Right now, as it sits, this game is unplayable with the in-balance.

As a last resort, allow PC players to opt-out of cross play.

    I'm in the process of packing up my duffle bag and moving on. Have close to 500 hours and the game play is hot garbage now. Massively imbalanced rounds because most aren't playing the objective and just farming kills. When you're not getting farmed by OP vehicles, some clown is sniping you from the back 40. Welcome to Call of Battlefield. 

    WARDOGS can't come soon enough.

    The new control assists and steady camera  already make those experienced pilots overrun any of ground units. They even don't need a radar.

    Their camera wouldn't upside down that means jet get more information than your think, now they are hard to crash due to the help of control assists.

    The two seats jet have double flares, and can evade lock down weapons at low altitude. If it take control the air, it dominate the round. The balance is broken.

    • The best thing you and everyone else can do is get out of this game. DICE is a company of dirty thieves; they’ve been manipulating the game for a year, quietly rigging things in favor of helicopter pilots. The mobile anti-air vehicle is a joke—weak in every way, it can't shoot down helicopters; it's a piece of **bleep** in this game and completely useless. EA is tarnishing its reputation because of this company called DICE—a bunch of dirty thieves. They are stealing and rigging matches to favor helicopter pilots. Let's abandon this **bleep** game.

    Look, I agree with you; it really seems like DICE is manipulating the game. We’ve sent feedback about anti-air being too weak and helicopters being too strong, but they don't fix it. To make matters worse, they only release updates that benefit the people who play as helicopter pilots. I’m done with the game.

    Yeah, it's a shame they never change. Honestly, the best thing to do is stop playing this game; the improvements only benefit a specific group of players. It’s unplayable like this—mobile anti-air is really weak against helicopters and infantry. I’m quitting too; unfortunately, it was a waste of money.

    And how is it a full size attack helo makes no sound?  I get blasted to bits with absolutely no warning, which is completely unrealistic.

  • Played a game yesterday day where a LB pilot went 130 / 0  (no bots) and capped 20 flags... may be fun game for one person  but not for the majority (remember when BattleField was a fun game you could chill out and play)
