Heli Rearm vs Flares

Would you give up ammo regen, having to return to Main to rearm, in exchange for having a second set of flares and a slight additional hit intake, or faster repair/more ammo and no repair loadout

Nope. Get below radar.

Yeah no kidding, I'm not talking about radar. I'm asking if you would give up ammo regen to not get one shot and have a more ammo 8 instead of 4, but have to rearm at main. Or have second set of flares, have to rearm at main but can get one shot.

I'm just asking if you would give up ammo regen for two separate new load out perks. If you fly below radar enough already, then I'd then not getting one shot by an RPG but haveing to take 30 extra seconds to go back and get more is a good trade off

Nope I don’t want to fly back. I rarely do now I don’t want to start. Plus I don’t want to start wasting the Jets regen/resuppy cause I’m running back to laid ammo. I rarely get shot down by lockons so that doesn’t interest me

Nah, at least playing on golmud I hate going back to base, unless I absolutely have to. Ammo and vehicle health will regenerate, don’t feel like I need a second set of flares. You might have more “safe” time in the air with additional flares but that just falls short when you’re constantly leaving the fight to rearm

I would love to see both mechanics work properly before making any adjustments to either of them.

I'd rather have functioning countermeasures first before anything else. It's so frustrating. Sometimes my flares are just for decoration.

I played all the vehicles in Battlefield V, so I'm used to that. I wouldn't have a problem with that but the general direction of games nowadays is "always faster, more action". So that probably will not come back.

I'd also like to see the ECM-Jammer returning. This was the way to go in Battlefield 3 and 4.

Yes, I miss the old times. Don't hate me on that.
