TOW Missiles need a nerf

My helicopter TOW cant one-shot a tank/IFV, but they can sit in their spawn and one shot my helicopter in my spawn. I can literally see the TOW missile coming, go horizontal to avoid it, and it still lands. In some matches it gets to the point the helicopter cant even leave the spawn on operation firestorm!!! How is this balanced at all? There is no warning its coming, improved armor doesn't help, you can't chaff to counter, nothing. You are just dead from across the whole map. Feels really crappy to play against and honestly makes me not even want to play the game because all i do in battlefield is fly choppers.

  • well there is a game breaking combo on the IFV where the Gunner can laser mark targets and the driver can lock into that with his TOW rocket... yes the laser marked target doesnt get a warning or so and the Missiles flies pretty long and hits the Traget alomost every time.

     

    But if ur laser marked i would destroy the soflam or hop in a tank and clear the Area

    I can tell from your post you dont fly choppers. Tank rounds are one shot. Ok fine. Stingers missiles are also one shot. You can chaff off 2 stinger missiles and 3 more infantry are shooting stingers at you. Its a bit ridiculous. Fair enough, the gunner should be taking out infantry more effectively. TOW missiling the helicopter out of their spawn 5 times in a row with or without soflam is unacceptable. The helicopters job is to be taking out tanks, vehicles, and infantry. It cannot do its job effectively when its so simple to just TOW them until they stop flying. Do better EA.

    I have noticed the TOW missiles being very easy to use, it feels like I have been killed by them more in this 11 day span than I ever have in all my years playing Battlefield. It is to be expected in a tank as you are slower moving and stationary most of the time but I have been getting obliterated by TOW's in helicopters. I can never see them coming and there is no audio cue that would help with trying to dodge them. It's just instant death. At least in 2042 with the guided missile you could hear it coming and attempt to dodge. I feel like that is missing in this Battlefield. 

  • Yes the tow is to easy to use. I think they made it slower since the last update, thats good. And please remove them from the tank loadout. Its to much, tanks dont need them. IFV can keep it ofc. Operation Firestorm is for Helicopters a tow dodge simulater. 

    + if you nerf the tow please think about reduce the distance from ALL lock on weapons. The maps are just to small. The vehicles can still park in the base under protection of the base AA and sniper all aircafts down. 

    You also need to increase the height the sky ceiling on california resistance.

    I love the game, please make it more playable :9
