SOFLAM = enemy pilots… please come melt my face! I am over here!!

Neu DICE finds away to totally effe up the most thankless jobs in BF6. Former military type guy here and proud to say INFANTRY.  If my words hurt your precious fee fees, sorry but not sorry.  You need a wake up call, DICE. This isn’t the Battlefield I’ve got to know and love for 25 years. 

I spend half the match trying to down the 2 attack helos and 1 littllrbird and 2 jets  that are farming my entire team for 20 minutes. “Below radar… below radar” then I do finally get to fire and “miss”.  Are you effing kidding me?? 

So I go SOFLAM.  the second lock up one of the 3 helicopters farming my team’s spawn, that helo makes a beeline straight for me and utterly destroys me. 

I’ve been playing Battlefield for 25 years. 
It’s more tha. obvious DICE doesn’t play as infantry in their own game. 

• Lack of AA emplacements that infantry can man at or near objectives. Hello!! BFV has tons of these! Many of our spawns in BF6 don’t even have a single AA emplacement. This is criminal neglect by DICE. In BFV there are tons of towable and manable AA emplacements for infantry. You guys at DICE today never played BFV so you just don’t know. Whomp whoooomp. It’s the truth though.  
  
  
• No Anti Air mines for Engi. A great way for Engineers dealing with ground hugging aircraft in BF4. You guys at DICE never played enough Engi in BF4 to know about this. 
  
  
• .50 cal damage from vehicles against aircraft is an absolute JOKE. It’s .50 caliber versus an airframe! Make it make sense, DICE!! 
  
  
• Flare cooldown is too fast. I get a lock, fire, the pilot deploys flares. Reload, fire again, pilot deploys flares. I don’t know if it’s a pilot hack, but ask around or check your ai chat bot of choice. It’s happening, 
  
  
• Aircraft respawn is too fast. Work your **bleep** off to down a Littlebird, they’re back on the map by the time I can run to another objective. Why even try? Can I get a few minutes of peace for my work?? 
• Small to medium sized maps don’t need a single attack airframe. Manhattan Bridge Doesn’t need a Littlebird!!  The oilfield map.. I don’t know the name because I blacklisted the map the week that the map was released.. this small map does not warrant an attack helicopter. NOT  EVEN ONE !! Contamination doesn’t warrant a single offensive airframe!! Not even one!! On these maps give each team 2 to 4 Blackhawk transports and give us a mental break from the non stop deluge of untouchable death from the sky. It’s mentally exhausting! 
  
  
• Too many helos on Mirak Valley, Golmud Railway, Contamination.  Example:  Mirak Valley = Whoever caps objective “C” gets a second attack helo. That’s 2 attack choppers + 1 Littlebird + 3 jets .. PER …ONE .. TEAM. The ground guys get a single AA tank. There is not even a single AA emplacement on the entire map. NOT EVEN IN OUR SPAWN. Inevitably one team is spawn camping our runway from the air and our entire teaM gets farmed the whole match. Miserable. 
  
  
• Lack of AA rounds for LMG. These were a thing on 2042. Why abandon the concept? 
  
  
• lack of ammo resupply emplacements for infantry per objectives ala BFV.  Why abandon this concept?? Jets and helos get endless regeneration of ammo. The one or 2 other guys on my team that actually take the time to try and deal with enemy aircraft… we have constantly respawn for ammo. “Get ammo from another player” you say?? Do the attack helos need to get ammo from another player?? 
  
  
• Horrible, god awful, criminally inept objective design by game developers that have never played one second of Conquest on any Battlefield game… EVER.  Take a look at objective D on the Eastwood Conquest map if you need a reference. I’m talking COVER! Not destructible concealment. For you non combat Veterans, there is a distinct difference between COVER and concealment. Look it up. Cover for infantry on most objectives in BF1 uis superb! In BF1 it is/was great playing as infantry and having cover almost everywhere. There’s cover for infantry all over almost every single map BF1. 

I challenge the current Devs to plan a day once a week. Make a 4 man squad and run around on Golmud and Mirak Valley and try to play as infantry. And I don’t mean that you have a 4 man squad then have your 4 other buddies in another squad all grab SOFLAM and AA rockets or grab aircraft. Play with 1 Engi, 1 Support, 1 Recon and 1 Assaukt. Experience the suck as we do every day. Try these maps solo and as a 4 man squad as we do and PLAY AS INFANTRY on normal Conquest servers without your DICE Dev tags.  Get farmed non stop from the sky and savor the never ending suck on these maps. Experience the misery we experience DAILY, then please fix your broken game.
