Buffing AA was unnecessary...
I like flying in Battlefield but the recent change was so unnecessary regarding buffing AA vs fighters. Fighters did not have a lot of armor in the first place, now people just keep sniping you with...

@GUTENTAAAAG While I feel this has caused more harm so to speak with the European fighters, I personally believe it's become a lot more balanced. I have from the beginning of the Pacific update, been heavily against the immense load out of the Pacific aircraft and this is coming from someone in the top 3 for pilots worldwide!
What I call 'New Generation Pilots' were players who only started flying primarily breakthrough so they could boost their K/Ds in unprecedented ways. The 4x HE cannons, 2x Incendiaries and flares made these aircraft ridiculously overpowered towards infantry.
The devs brought in the Fliegerfoust to combat this but there was a massive push back, primarily from these 'New Generation Pilots' and while I agree it did need to be balanced it did slow the farming down.
This new update was inevitable as the farming had to stop. You can still avoid AA, sure you will get hit every now and again but you can still have a zero death game. You just have to play it more safe, have better situational awareness and most importantly burn into your brain the location of each AA encampment is.
Another benefit to this update is it will deter the K/D farming players from going up and this will in-turn mean infantry/tankers on the ground will have a more balanced/harassment free game 🙂

@Real_NoobalishusOnly a fraction of pilots are farmers. And if they are causing a problem, than stop their method and only theirs, don't ruin the experience for every other decent pilot!
The 4x HE is a total overkill, so cheezy, I myself don't feel good using it.
Also let's take into account that if you kill infantry on ground (including AA) they can be revived. If they nail you down in a plane, you are DEAD for good.
Flying takes a lot more skill and the game shouldn't favor the less skilled AA gunner even for this single reason alone!
- @GUTENTAAAAG I agree flying takes skill, now more than before. This AA buff has helped deter pilots who want to just farm and I finding there are pilots going up that are actually trying to properly learn dogfighting, evading maneuvers, etc not just drop bombs, loop back to base, repeat
