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...

Blah blah blah.
BF can be BF with ground vehicles only. Aircraft have always been a selfish role that 99% of players never even get a chance to do. Helo's are never balanced and are just kill farm machines and jets just...exist. They hardly ever contribute to point controls and spend most of the game just dog fighting.
Aircraft in BF has always been dumb, always will be dumb and the never ending back and forth of balance with them will only be solved by just getting rid of them. No one on the ground likes getting killed by a helo that is impossible to destroy and helo pilots will cry when they can't go 100-0 every match if the devs ever dare make them touchable (flares should not be a measly 2 seconds longer than it takes to reload a shoulder fired AA. Should take twice as long for flares to come back.)
There is always room for discussion about how to provide good counters to prevent things like 100-0 on a heli. I love starting a personal vendenta with a pilot who took me out with every tool available and reveling in the endorphin rush of watching them explode.
In the WW1 and WW2 games things were better because the AAs were skillshots instead of fire and forget MANPADs that are either almost unavoidable or useless.
[BFV] Just an ordinary easy ff kill
BFV patch 6.6 pacific AA tank and fliegerfaust against pacific planes
However to resign into thinking that the only way forward is to just remove aircraft, is the lazy band-aid path towards making BF ever more bland. If you think that way, at this point you are playing a kind of a game you hate and you want it to become a game that even more people will hate
Pilots cried for years about the Fliegerfaust in BFV.
In BF6 they cried about the RPG and got it nerfed. In 2042 they cried about the TOR railgun killing them when they flew in straight lines because they were used to being invincible and getting a warning any time someone fired at them and got it nerfed. In BF3 and BF4 they cried about the stingers and the anti-air vehicles. Even pathetically weak weapons like the AA mine were made useless because of pilot whining.
Pilots don't care what the AA weapon is. They cry and want it nerfed. They expect to be able to soak damage like tanks, while being more effective at killing infantry, and getting to pick where to fight, and go 150-0 every round. But in turn they expect the Mobile AA to be bad at killing air vehicles, bad at killing infantry, useless against ground vehicles (unless like in BF6 you switch into a non-AA gun loadout) and easy to kill from the air.
The Liz Missile in 2042 was the ultimate "skill shot" for an AA weapon in Battlefield games. Pilots still cried about it and got it nerfed so badly that it was hard to hit ground vehicles with it, and all but impossible to hit air.

Some people will even cry about humans existing in this planet.
What people need to do is to find the golden ratio that gives the best experience instead of gutting one thing or the other.
The most common debate is: how much impact should a single footsoldier have vs very limited asset with a respawn timer. How much impact that limited asset should have in the map. How much of an added advantage should people working together get vs the limited asset to reward both teamplay and punish the lack of it. And of course: how much countermeasures is too little or too much.
