As a solo player, just like the mass majority of players in the game - playing against people that do nothing but go for the little bird is one of the most infuriating things in this game and the little birds do nothing but ruin the game and ruin the fun for everyone else. The few times they die, they just wait for it to spawn again and nobody else on the team ever gets a chance to use it, just one of many annoying things.

Being a solo player you take out your RPG or M136 (because anyone that’s tried the IGLA & SLM-93A quickly learn how worthless they are after just 1 match) and you take a shot at the annoying pilot that’s 50-0 not even halfway through the match. 95% of the time you miss that first shot, and the pilot sees the rocket whizz past them so they laser focus in on you. You’re already cooked at this point, the only hope you have of surviving is going indoors somewhere that is indestructible. Which most places are not. You try to hide behind something only to get blown up by the rockets. Atleast in BF4 when they only had the chain gun you could hide behind something and try to avoid the chain guns so you could reload and take another shot at the pilot, or some pilots would just fly to a different part of the map. Which helped resolve the issue as a solo player. Not in BF6 though, you get annihilated by the rockets and they continue on with their bullshit non stop 70+ kill matches u. Your other option is to try and shoot them down with an LMG but again as a solo player, good luck. You’ll just get killed even faster. You spawn in an attack boat and get out to the main island only to be 100% destroyed in 2-3 seconds by the little bird and APCs get destroyed equally as fast. Then you have your big bulky transport choppers that get blown up easily as well. They can rule most of the sky and most of the land so well and there’s just not much you can do as a solo player besides die to them over and over again. It’s just another dumb problem in this game that needs to be addressed. You know the little birds of the kings of making people rage quit this game.

Little bird needs rockets removed. They can still go around racking up ridiculous amount of kills with the chain guns. Make it so if they still want to have explosive power over infantry they have to choose the grenade guns. Which would be perfect because that would then make them more susceptible to the other teams choppers. They would either choose the chain guns so they can be more competitive in the sky, or choose the grenades so they can dominate the ground. But with how they are now they can do both way too easy. They are so small and fast it’s so much harder to hit them with an RPG compared to the other 2 choppers.

Every match there’s always 1 guy being incredibly annoying with the little bird. Every single match without fail. Just ruining the game and ruining the fun for everyone else.

I’d be happy if they left the little birds how they are now if they made it so the same guy can’t just keep spawning in the little bird over and over. If they die, block them from being able to take the drivers seat for the next 5 minutes or something. Then other people atleast get to use it and that would make them so much less annoying. But ultimately the best fix would be to get rid of the rockets…

Alright, rant over.

What’s funny is I bought this game when I heard they got rid of the little bird. I said thank god. I have since uninstalled the game

I hear you man. I’m starting to look for something else to play now too. Might have to give war dogs a shot.

They could at least add some AA emplacements like in Wake. or better yet an actual AA tank on Tsuru. That way they would at least have to watch out for something.

Does the MP-APS work against the rockets?

Yeah I have my hesitations on that game. If it has good reviews 1-2 weeks post launch, I’ll give it a try. It’s been tough finding a game that gets everything right.

Coordinate with a friend to both shoot at it with LMG’s, it’s quite weak.

Not much of a nerf in the grand scheme of things. Still going to be extremely annoying

I look forward to playing against people like that. As an engineer main I pay close attention to said individuals. My eyes and ears are sensitive to the sound of any moving vehicle. Little bird sweats have an increased ability to agitate me. (as your post indicates the same) me and my squad those players specifically after the main objective has been taken care of. Nothing brings me more joy than to catch them off guard or to lure them into my trap. It’s about having them thinking that are top dog and slamming the fact that they AREN’T straight down their greedy gullets.

I personally don’t think a nerf is fully necessary because there are plenty of ways to take care of annoying players like that regardless. They (mostly) play for themselves and you should let them because battlefield is about synergies through various perspectives of combat. Adapt to their play-style and determine what your squad could do to succeed in the end. Happy hunting!

Why, you'll still be shit at the game if they nerf it. Or you'll just complain about something else killing you.
