That's true, tanks mean a bigger threat, yet it will take 4-5 rockets to kill a tank and you will most likely die several times trying so.
Meanwhile it only takes 1 well placed shot to shoot down a plane which has no chance of countering you most of the time.
So if you want cheap kills just stick to the Fliegerfaust. :-((
On Iwo jima i already play plane all the game, and only kill 3 times by Fliegerfaust. Only bomber who are slower do to bomb in higher altitude (as real war 🙂).
You was just lucky. I keep getting 1 shot which is ridiculous. At least infantry can be revived on the ground. As a pilot you just booom die to some fkin noob.....
How about we compromise? Not that these changes would be implemented necessarily, but as a neat thought experiment... especially given how polarizing people's opinions on the fliegerfaust is. How about a 15% damage nerf with only a very slight reduction in the blast radius.
My biggest complain is: you should NOT be able to get one shot. That's ridiculous.
To use this gun you need no skill. Just hide in the bushes where noone can see you can fire away when an aircraft is close.
No warning sing, no flairs, no any sort of counter measures, you are just GONE.
On the other hand as a pilot you have to put in the time to learn how to fly (minimum 30 hours to call it somewhat decent); you have to wait for the plane to spawn, take off, look out for enemy aircraft, AA and only if everything is clear you can think of engaging the ground where many time you don't even see infantry move, you just guess...... this level of effort should be rewarded.
Infantry CAN be revived and they usually are... pilots CANNOT be revived at all........ think about that.

As far as the old maps go: I had no issues getting sufficient kills and surviving with the bombers, sure it took more caution and lots of repairs but it was doable. I don't really want to fly fighters because they are too vulnerable to the Fliegerfaust.
------------------------
On the new maps: if you are defending, you can fly somewhat safely with the Zeros, since all AA, infantry and pilots will be attacking the US pilots who have basically no chance.
I'm level 4 on my Zero planes and level 0 on Corsairs. Not a big fan for this balance.

I would add to the reload time to the Fliegerfaust so no guy could shoot twice with this deadly gun and I would also reduce the damage by 50%. Yes, 50%. If tanks can take 4 panzerfaust shots and not blow up, planes should be able to take 2 and still survive.
