The absolute air-superiority making air-vehicles useless.

There is a way to make every air-vehicle useless in BF6, and it needs to be a priority fix. It ruins the experience for everyone that loves flying Jets and/or helicopters. 

Laser designator + AGM/ATGW/Air-to-air/really all lock-on missiles = absolute hell. 

Hear me out: As long as someone is laser designating(Sniper class/IFV gunner), you can shoot down any heli and jet without them having anything to do about it/counter with. This works with lock-on missiles from IFVs, Javelins, lock-on ATG missiles from helis and jets.. this is not a problem in its self, and really is a nice feature. The problem is that flares doesnt work against it...warning system? The only warning you get is that you are locked on/laser designated. Yes you can flare this, but you get locked on again as soon as the flares are dropped. If the warning is gone, and you think you are safe? Never mind, a fu***ng javelin shoves your asscheeks up to your uvula after silently following you across the map. 

As things are now, the AA-tank and Stinger launcher is the least effective anti-air options..  not gonna lie, ive exploited this thing to its core.. and its f***ing broken. To the ones i have ruined the experience of flying, i am sorry. A single IFV should not be able to secure complete air-superiority. 

Ill give you another example. Me and a friend in a heli, using a mountan/hill as cover(to not suffer the same fate) + a friend using laser designator, lasering every jet and heli.. the enemy air-vehicles dies by our lock-on ATGM before getting anything productive done for their team. If not a heli, a squad of 1 Engineer, 1 Recon and 1 Support can obliterate anything that leaves the tarmac.. and your flares are cute and insignificant. 

Again.. fix this sh*t.

  • Its really the "perfect" fire-and-forget experience, as long as i have launched the missile, i know for a fact that you are dead.

    Many people have posted in this forum about this egregious exploit, or rather, core game functionality being completely broken! EA's response?? Nothing!!! Not once have I seen anything anywhere about this, whether on here, Facebook, X, Reddit, or any other avenue where they could keep the players informed of what is happening!

    It's really disappointing that they have not given a single ounce of thought to this, or even mentioned it. What frustrates me most is that none of the social media lackeys they have paid to promote the game talk about anything serious or broken in it either.

    The new patch came out, update 1.1.1.0 with Season 1 and it completely broke the missiles in helicopters!!! The guided missile might as well be a potato gun that you shoot from the heli, as it is so innacurate now!

  • Yes, i have seen multiple posts about it, and have not posted myself because i have taken for granted that it will get fixed. All this time and as you said, nothing from the developers. So i saw a need for more complaints. I noticed in many other posts that it seems like some people think its just the IFV,  so i just wanted to clarify that its EVERY lock-on missile option in the game.

    Generally the midrange missle from the ifv is bugged, it sometimes straight up oneshots even tanks and other ifv even from full health

  • Please Nerf the Laser Designators! It is NOT FUN to hear a constant lock tone, whether in air OR ground vehicles.

    Also, where am I getting locked from? God knows... but being as I can't see the faintest red light in existence, it's probably from the other side of the map, in their deployment. Outrageous! Even if I go behind cover, still getting locked in many cases. OUTRAGEOUS

    Operating vehicles is a huge part of Battlefield, and when you play an entire round and hear nothing but lock tone, it is not fun at all! Not to mention getting wrecked by the missiles... 

    Please do something. 

  • Yeah I was in a MBT, full health,  and I was getting One shotted by an IFV while being laser locked. How has this not been fixed?
