G'day
@AnifireWhen this post was first made the Flieger was a little over the top and many people both Infantry and Pilots said it should be dialed back.
A way to understand how this gadget was over the top as imagine being in a tank on Rotterdam, Devastation, Aerodrome (maps without planes), how how would you feel if a gadget was brought into the game that enabled any assault to spawn in with and have the ability to 1 shot your tank (sometimes from across map) without warning.
For many players this was the reality and for new players to the game, their 1st time in the air a lot of the time was their last, as in some smaller maps (Looking at you Arras) anywhere up to 8 people would camp just outside the enemy spawn point and with an ammo box between them, they would spam the spawn and stop planes before they had a chance to move 5ft.
Since then, the Flieger has been adjusted in a way that still can take down planes in 1 or 2 but now require skill to use rather than a massive sized cone that was near impossible for planes to avoid.
I agree the pacific planes need a serious nerf and this is coming from a dedicated pilot to this franchise coming in 2nd worldwide on Xbox. I feel for the infantry players that get slaughtered by players who wish to treat the Pacific maps as their personal Battlefarm Simulator 2020 and so I've taken to searching people on the leaderboards that exclusively spam Pacific Maps as Pilots and specifically entering their games to shoot them down, as enough is enough.
