Air Vehicles Too Overpowered?

[ZinkyStinky]

i enjoy the game but flying vehicles needs to either be balanced or removed entirely. All EA multiplayer games with flying mechanics always gives too much power put into the players hands. its a glorified instawin if you have an ace pilot that sits in a heli all day. gone are the days of sitting in your spawn with a tank in BF1 and BFV. The new meta is just sitting in a heli and taking everyones kill and making the game not only boring for you and your entire team but not fun for the other team. So servers are just sit empty with AI as one idiot flys around the map getting their 100th kill in the sky without having set foot on the actual map. DICE have updated the vehicles so many times that they've made being a passenger in a vehicle not fun and sitting in a vehicle with a pilot so good that you cant get a kill is frustrating. how do you balance this without making air vehicles entirely useless?

I mean its battlefield, and overall they dont seem to be too op, as long as theres more than 1 dude trying to destroy them.

[вредитель]

they are OP because we have nothing to ''counter'' them , missle launcher have no damage , stinger have no damage too + slow pointing

Only way to ''counter'' them , use SOFLAM and 2 teammates with stingers

Helicopters are ridiculously OP simply because the skill floor IS the skill ceiling. You dont get punished for being a bad heli pilot, because mechanics holds your hand so much. From the health, to the handling, to the damage, to the infinite ammo and abilities.

Took a poor engagement? Good thing you can tank 3+ direct hits from rockets and move extremely fast to abuse out-of-map hiding.

Got locked on? Just pop 9 flares in total to magically be invincible during 2042 until you abuse the absurd helicopter handling and hide for a couple of seconds until your flares recharge again.

But a heli? You cant run from it. You can hardly take cover from it You cant kill it (unless you hamper your own personal loadout JUST to stand a chance at damaging helis, and to stand a possibility of even taking one down, SEVERAL people have to be alongside you doing the same exact thing). You cant skill-shoot it with an anti-material sniper, rocket launcher, let alone disable it.

Helicopters should be glass-cannons, the fact that tanks cant even 1 shot all helicopters with their main gun aka: actually punishing bad players, shows how OP they are.

Fun Fact: If you get a SOFLAM lock on a stealth heli the lock will remain even if it goes into stealth. Once spent a whole match just sitting on a hill SOFLAMing choppers and watching as every rocket user made a mockery of the stealth mode.

when tracking a stealth chopper in STEALTH MODE, he will try and hide, but the gatling guns on the Huron, will make short work of the stealth chopper

are you guys retarded or something? lol Battlefield is a realistic FPS, OF COURSE ARMOR AND FLYING VEHICLES ARE STRONG AS HELL. I don't even use vehicles because I'm not good with them, but I don't cry and whine because I can't shoot a plane down with one clip from my assault rifle lol Bunch of cry babies in this thread

wayy too overpowered bf3 had the better balance even bf1. once you get a air vechicle kiss the match goodbye w w

It's not that they're overpowered, it's that not enough willing players to carry around AA launchers/use AA loadout on the EBAA Wildcat. They won't even give it the time of day to switch over on the fly for that role....

100% they are overpowered, I have stopped playing the game because of them. They are so fast and kill so quickly it is impossible to react to them before dying. They can go way to far out of the map and just have to little counter defence

Yep had a stealth heli fly so high that lizs missile couldn't reach it and couldn't lock it with anything else while it bombed the point . Then you have the never ending flares giving the heli time to hang out and kill anyone who shot at it.

how naive

[Zanleer]

i think vehicles should be a teamplay thing ... like one person should have to drive while someone else HAS to gun. get rid of this driving/gunning solo vehicles.

also i think Rao should do more to vehicles and for longer.

Mate that's so true, I am awesome in the Wildcat pretty much slaughtering the aircraft. If you get a good player in the Wildcat the aircraft are much less of an issue, which makes sense in real life if there was barely any AA then the aircraft would destroy, so its normal for this to reflect in games. The one thing I will say is some balancing may need to be done with the stealth helicopter I feel as though they do have it too often.

Battlefield air vehicles have been OP since Battlefield 2. DICE has a hard-on for them and don't act. For some reason they think unkillable jets with magic counter-measures being able to go 100-0 every time is good gameplay.

People don't carry AA around or use AA loadouts on vehicles because why bother, the air vehicles get special magic buttons that break locks or prevent them and fly away, or if you do hit them you get 15 damage and they fly away.
