You killed heli gameplay - bring back the TV Guided Missile!

Dear Development Team.

34-year-old veteran here. Coming from Battlefield 2, Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4, and Battlefield 2042.

Throughout all these titles there has been a clear pattern.
Heli gameplay has become worse and worse.

In Battlefield 2042 only specific helicopters had the TV Guided Missile for the gunner.
Now you removed it completely. Why?

The chopper is already weak as hell. RPGs, Stingers, tanks, everything destroys it. The gunner ammo is also very limited.

At least let the gunner have the TV Missile. Make it unlockable at helicopter level 40 or whatever, something you get as a reward for dedication.

Remember, you are Battlefield and not COD, PUBG, Fortnite, CS or whatever. Your goal was to bring back the good old days with class systems and modding capabilities.

So please bring the TV Missile back.

  • Frankly a huge amount of unlockables are missing for every single vehicle, especially air vehicles and support gunners

     

    Im guessing they're going to soft lock it all as "releasable content" and slowly trickle it in when they release the battle passes. Who doesnt love getting trickle fed a functional game, game prices sky rocket and they take more content away from us. Honestly what is even going on in this industry anymore. 

    Everyday its more apparent this game needed another 6mo's dev time minimum. The cobbled together campaign and slop season 1 release and small maps with lackluster interaction are all proof. The rose tinted glasses are coming off for the entire community after the first 2 weeks of hype.

    Ntm theyre turning the games speed literally into MW2 2019, and are clearly trying to cater to zoomer COD players which is the antithesis of Battlefield. Its mind blowing they thought theyd need to betray their core values to get a community. The community never left, we were just waiting for Dice and EA to fix themselves and pay homage to the past, but better and modern.

    Typical modern game dev rug pull. By the time you realize what's wrong and missing after the shine wears off, its too late. At the end of the day, their shareholders are more important than the gamers and mission they serve.

    I agree 100%. I fly the attack heli a LOT (mastery level 60), and I've found that the only way to stay alive is to always fly fast and low and only pop up briefly to attack vehicles, then immediately run and hide until the flares cool down. This gives the gunner no opportunity to do something. It's too hard for the gunner to hit infantry when flying fast and low, and it takes too long for the AGM missile to lock onto ground targets, so they can't get a shot off. My heli gunners get bored and jump out! We need to give them something to do, and a TV missile would certainly solve the problem.
