Stinger/IGLA Nerfs
What on earth are you thinking? The AA weapons in BF6 are already GARBAGE and now you make them even worse? The IGLA was launched in a completely broken state, it never worked, so why is it being ne...

I feel like nobody complaining here has ever tried to fly anything in BF6. You get locked non-stop from the time you spawn. If the broad ground-based anti-air options were all as potent as this thread seems to believe they should be, air vehicles would be incapable of impacting the game. For several BF titles now the jets have been nerfed more and more in multiple ways because of constant complaining, creating a high skill requirement just to get a few kills a game. Lock-on weapons require no skill, so it's appropriate that they shouldn't have unlimited range while also still enjoying on of the highest amounts of damage from a single hit. Hitting an air vehicle causes about 50% total vehicle health damage, creates an irratic immobilization often leading to unavoidable crashing. And, just for good measure, you not get credited with the kill if your point, shoot and forget it weapons cause that crash (because of how many jet-chasing IGLA pros complained about being "robbed" before).
Everyone wants everything they use to be better. Just suck it up and play.
Air gets magic flares, magic below radar, magic repairs, magic reloads, magic notice of being locked on & magic notice of being fired at. So much skill there.

Consider trying to see how the grass feels on the other side too.
Personally I have deemed the BF6 aircraft very flawed and worse than being with my boots on the ground.
No you consider what is the point of 3 Anti Air Launcher that will miss with 100% certainty, the only thing that can currently shoot down aircraft is lucky shots when the pilot sucks other Aircraft which makes you dependant on the pilots of your team and the stationary AA machine gun since they nerfed the mobile on into the ground. I dont care if they give the Helicopters and jets more HP or Armor or whatever but you cant just have 3 AA launchers in the game that simply can not hit a target EVER

The idea is that the vehicle will be forced to evade/retreat (deterrent) and not that it have a good chance to get wrecked by one person.
and if enough people go after the same aircraft from different locations, it will eventually get hit and be in huge trouble.
I do not think that you would have liked it more if instead it was much easier to land the AA missiles but the aircraft needed many more hits because that would warrant even more people needed to focus fire the aircraft to be a threat to it.
Other than that, I think that the IGLA need more tweaks to work like in BF4 where one can make the missile reacquire the aircraft if it stayed in sight and range after the flares.

I don't care about the other side. IMO battlefield should get rid of aircraft in general. They are constantly the most oppressive thing in every BF game even when they are "weak."

I am sorry to say this but. You are playing the wrong game if you want to destroy combined arms warfrare.
Combined arms warfare is an ecosystem of more than just boots on the ground with guns. If you remove or gut one of the aspects of the ecosystem, you end up with a broken ecosystem. It is no surprise that the best times of the BF series are still in its past where the infantry-tank-aircraft trinity was allowed to breathe.If all you care is soldiers duking it out, you are better off playing a game that focuses on that better.
I've been playing this series since BF1942, the OG (well, excluding Codename Eagle), and in BF2 my role in clan matches (yes, we did 16 v 16 clan matches back in the day) was as a chopper pilot/gunner or to use air if required.
BF6 the jets can shuttle across the narrowest part of the map over and over and never get hit once because of the magic flares. Helos are so armoured that they can tank shots from the thing specifically designed to kill them and fly back to base with no problem.
I know all about it the other side.

I know all about it the other side.How much have you flown the BF6 ones? I hope that I misread this and you did not say that you know all about BF6 choppers based on BF2 experiences.
The other day I was doing some unlocks on Golmund breakthrough and tried the Littlebird that nobody was using and proceeded to annoy an IFV, thinking I was safe up there. Then I ate ToW that came so fast from the IFV that I had no time to react (ok that can be a skill issue on my part because Aircraft suck so much in BF6 that I did not practice much). Then I went as an engineer and blew up that IFV personally with rockets and EoD mines.
In my experience the infantry are the top predator in BF6 if they take all threats seriously.If there is one thing I am proud with in BF games is that if a vehicle of the ground or the Air annoys me, I am willing to use every means available to have my revenge against them. If a lock on works, I will use it, if I have to manually guide/aim something at them, I will do it. If I have to sneak up behind lines to get them, I will do it.
