Fliegerfaust

On most maps, such as Panzerstorm, going Fliegerfaust as an assault is not a good idea when the much bigger threat are the onslaught of tanks in front of you. It's a very specailized weapon that I think is being over-exaggerated. Yes, it's powerful, but pilots can manage.

How?

They can damage you with up to 80 damage with 1 hit and if you come at the wrong angle they can easily reload and shoot for the second time.
So literally you have no chance.

Watch this clip for evidence:

From my own experience, I stopped trying to fly predictable and still be able to bomb or strafe run the enemy with little to no effort. 🙂

Feels like a good balance so far from my experience.

@GUTENTAAAAG I usually fly my plane at very high altitude with the bombers. I never really have an issue with the fliegerfaust.

Well they buffed the bombers with higher splash damage and slower bomb dropping. Both TTK and TTD went up. Ok.

The game will not let me use tye fligerfaust. I have it in my assult but is greyed out and says to complete an assessment. Wtf.

Played the game last night and if it is a weekly assignment i should still have time but it says i have made 0 contributions after playing 3 games of grand ops. 

@Steekyd88  removed your frag grande  rifle from your second gadget slot and choose something else should solved that. 🙂 

And we are aware of this issue.

My Fliegerfaust experience is positive, heavy bomber who decimate infantry have a great reason to beware of dive attacks.

If the shoot are good it does not shock me that he kills in one shoot.

Against tank maybe minimal damage could be cool.

Against infantry if number of shoot are on th guy it could be cool to kill it.

If this weapon is great i think if it up for infantry and tank,we should not have other gadgets with this weapon (or smoke).

Here is a clip of one of the best pilots in BFV:

Basically he is useless vs ground on the Pacific and someone camping with a fliegerfaust with no skill will have a ton more kills than him.

It even interferes with the dogfight heavily.

Well, that isn't a dedicated bomber flown by Niccaman, which is what he uses most often. The fliegerfaust helps counter the strafing runs.

But again, you lose a slot for AT gadgets if you're running a fliegerfaust, and tanks as well as infantry are the bigger threat which AT gadgets address much more effectively.
