Yeah they are listening to the scrubs that can't actively deal with vehicles and are going all COD with BF3.
Most of the time, it is not a big deal, cause most heli pilots are not that good. But, when you get on a map with a really good pilot, the imbalance becomes very obvious. There is no reason that someone should be able to go 100-5 in BF3, even if they are a a really good pilot. That shit pisses me off.
Did you see what they did to the jet? It''s gonna be the perfect OP killing machine.. and I know I want it.
I chuckle when a team of 32 douche canoes can't figure out "hey lets get 2-3 guys with stingers and maybe someone on a CITV and or SOFLAM (SOFLAM's have been damn hard to destroy with choppers since last patch because the lack of splash damage on equipment)".... and poof! the choppers down. But no, everyone keeps spawning as support or assault and wishes the chopper was down. Jets will be the new first choice for taking out the barrage of tanks and land vehicles in Armored Kill. Until the cries are heard and responded to and then they will probably just take the tracks off the tanks. Idk just speculation
Building a (defense) mechanic around expected team play in a public server does not always work. In a perfect world, every player would know how to play as a team. Unfortunately, we do not live or play in a perfect world. Hell, I do not even know how to deploy a SOFLAM. I just like to shoot stuff. lol... I know I am a BF3 nub.
