There is no respect for the pilots

Dear BF Team

I am 42 years old and have been playing Battlefield since its inception. I’m here to show my outrage at what they’re doing to Helicopter / Jet pilots. This is the worst Battlefield in this regard that I can remember. It even feels like vehicles are in the game just to say that there are vehicles because they are completely useless. No matter how much you’ve practiced over the years, you’ll have 26 players with any kind of junk ready to take you down right at the base—you don’t even get to take off. It’s just too bad, miserable. There are tanks with completely overpowered TOW missiles, TOWs scattered across the maps, fixed anti-air guns placed around the maps, and their range doesn’t even reach a kilometer. Then we have empty maps with no protection for these aerial vehicles, and the list goes on. I could write a book called 'A Thousand and One Ways to Shoot Down a Vehicle Before It Even Takes Off.'  Not even BF2042 managed to be this bad in this aspect, honestly.

There are many more things also related to infantry, land vehicles, and so on, but this post is mainly about aerial vehicles. Your lack of consideration for those who carried this franchise on their backs for years doesn't exist; it was the last Battlefield I bought, I won't give another cent to this franchise, and it's not about the money, just about the lack of respect for its true fans. The players who are trying to please others are nothing but mere tourists, they play a handful of times but don't stay. I thought season 2 would aim to fix the vehicle problem, but no, once again the priorities are microtransactions. This time you went too far. It's time to say goodbye to Battlefield, if it can even be called that.

  • Sorry its def a skill issue.

    If i have pilots going 50-60 kills no death no sympathy from me

  •  For those of us on the ground, it is exactly the opposite.  I actually think the balance they developed between aircraft advantages versus anti-aircraft defenses is one of the things they did pretty well.  I have logged a lot of hours in the game and I have seen a lot of pilots suffer the fate you describe, and I have also seen a lot of really good pilots avoid that fate and rack up ridiculous kills.  I think there are much bigger issues that are killing the game, i.e. poor map design, low TTK levels, unbalanced weapons, etc. etc.  In my opinion, the aircraft issues are non-issues.
