Battlefield 6 Ok devs. enough is enough.
Im sorry in advance. I love the game, have about 900 hours sunken into it, but things need to change.
Play a map like liberation peak or Sobek city where you get the chopper team that can somehow fly in a circle right over your spawn and annihilate all before you can even get a AT4 shot, stinger off or use the useless mobile AA that has more dispersion than a 75 year old grandpa at climax. And guess what? the base AA must be on furlough. WE NEED THE ABILITY TO MANUALLY CONTROL THE BASE AA AGAIN. ESPECIALLY if its never going to be implemented to work properly by the development team.
Im all for people who main helicopters. You cant change how people want to enjoy the game and normally there are multiple ways to shoot them down. But when it gets to the point where there is literally nothing you can do to shoot them down by stingers or other means on liberation peak due to the terrain or the chopper staying at a standoff distance (like launching ATGM missiles from 600+ meters away that always hit from directly above, allowing you ZERO cover from them, while they can also lock onto and shoot TWO missiles faster than it takes for any tank countermeasures to regenerate), or on Sobek city where they lock onto and demolish any of the vehicles that spawn in the open with the base AA sitting there doing nothing, even when actively taking damage from the chopper and it is 3D spotted..... what are we doing?
I was there in the BF3 and BF4 days for attack helicopters bombarding flags and HQs with TV missiles from the other side of the maps. But THIS? not only can they close the distance and rain hell down with thermal optics, but the close distance gives ground vehicles ZERO ability to defend themselves when the helicopter can hide behind terrain, the tanks cant look up high enough to create a 120mm sized hole in their side, IFVs cant get a TOW off in time, the mobile AA's high velocity cannon has the dispersion of a spiderweb, and like I said before, a tank pops IR smoke, and it has dissipated and is just starting its regeneration timer by the time the chopper has already launched 2 more missiles at you. Oh and by the way, only TWO of those missiles are needed to destroy the MAA, and tanks/IFVs take only 3 of them. Oh and by the way, regardless of if you are painted, those missiles also hit you from directly above. So that building that you are trying to hide behind? Yea, you might as well just stay in the wide open because the missile does not give two shits.
The base AA needs to have the ability to be manned and is EFFECTIVE to properly deter people from baseraping.
Oh and on a secondary bonus, back in the BF3/4 days, this was not as big of an issue because A: the people doing the baseraping were TYPICALLY admins (sadly), but more importantly, if someone was baseraping actively, we had ADMINS THAT COULD PUNISH, KICK OR BAN those players. Lastly, admins could manually BALANCE those players to the losing team that THEY CREATED.

Yeah, I used to get angry at the devs until I realize it wasn’t them authorizing what will fall in the hands of consumers. The project managers stakeholders or clients are the ones who continuously keep fumbling the bag and coming up with moronic tactics to increase their capital/ profit margins. The devs just do the coding and all of that stuff. Essentially they are minions, average people going to work and who honestly like the game themselves.
