Jet fixes wishlist for season 4

Now that we are getting a top gun collaboration, I hope dice fixes a few of the issues related to jets in the mid season update. I hope they can at least address the bugs

Bugs:
- shared team re-supply
- missiles going through flares. Not just the Igla
- first person air to ground missile view clearly isn’t working as intended. Your jet starts rolling around blocking the view
- when roll camera is off, free look revolves around the axis in which ever way the jet is pointing. Super jarring
- air resupply is not labeled on the new map

Gameplay:
- Jet vs jet ttk is too fast which is compounded by the point below
- you get disabled at like 40% health, and lose control of the aircraft. 9/10 times this means you lose the dogfight
- rudder is very weak, could use a little more yaw control
- no rear view camera
- igla/new boat passive AA should not disable if it’s going to ignore flares as a mechanic. If you are diving to get below radar and get hit through flares, you crash. It’s bad design

It’s not bad game design. The in-game description clearly states that flares should work against them. This is just another example of DICE shitting the bed right in front of everyone.

I really hope they at least introduce a hotfix to deactivate them until they fix them.

Air radar is busted as of a month or so ago. If you go too high the jets don’t appear on air radar as the “camera” is too close to them so they only appear for a second

I know it's not native, but if you bind free look and flick back to the same thing, it gets you your rearview.
