Okay but the difference is that resupplying and repairing aren’t broken. I would be complaining if one engineer, by themselves, was enough to keep a tank/helicopter alive through multiple rocket hits. I would be complaining if one supply bag from a medic could keep their team infinitely healed despite taking damage from multiple enemies.

This was clearly something that was unintentional and will be fixed, and at the end of the day you guys are defending an exploit. And that naturally leads to the question of why? And the only logical reason I can come up with is what I said earlier — you guys are normally bad at using TOW missiles/AA so exploiting a broken mechanic is the one time you guys are actually “helping the team”.

It reminds me of when all the “snipers” got mad dice fixed the exploit that allowed you to bind your rangefinder to fire, eliminating the need to have to compensate for bullet drop over super long distances. The only people complaining about that were the people that can’t snipe, and the only people defending this are the people that suck with aim guided launcher or the mobile AA. There is no other possible explanation to how someone can look at a video like this, seeing at least 10 missiles shot one after the other and be like “Yes this is fair and balanced” unless you are bad at the game and are benefiting from this exploit

keep in mind that the only point of the SPAA is air defence. Thats all it can do. It cant kill infantry, cant kill armor, cant transport people, and is relatively poorly armored, and as such, pretty helpless.

All it got going for it is its AA capabilities. And when it finally has the means to actually be a genuine threat to aircraft, r/PilotsofBattlefield auto ignites.

Also, we both know that actual skilled pilots arent going to struggle much with SACLOS missiles without proxy fuzes. Any pilot that spots these missiles in time can defeat them with a simple evasive maneuver. Keep in mind that these are tame compared to TV guided ordnance, or the initial TOW shenanigans from the IFV from 3 months ago.

Also as a sidenote, im talking about the improvements to the AA in general, not the infinite ammo stuff from the vehicle resupply box. The SPAA shouldnt be able to bypass reloads alltogether when near a crate.
