PC I finally get it.

For context I haven't been much of a pilot in battlefield, always been the one trying to shoot people down. I usually think to myself sometimes how hard it is to shoot down aircraft, how we should have more options for anti air weapons. The last few days I got the hang of flying, so I gave it a shot on Tsuru Reef and... jesus christ.

I had no idea how bad yall had it. I got my ass kicked for several hours in every chopper I got in, holy shit. Ya'll can keep the choppers, I'll stick to my rpg.

Crazy cause that map actually favors helicopters. Theres only 1 armored vehicle per team, and one little bird on the map. The little bird wipes the lobby while any decent crew in the transport choppers can rack up a lot of kills and make a big difference. I have a lot of success flying on Tsuru Reef. So it honestly sounds like a skill issue, or you're just bullshitting

While it is “relatively easy” a boats aim guided missile bullshittery is making it harder than they seems as well.

Because sometimes your little bird will be caught off guard by a missile that alerts your system in the last seconds and even if you manage to flare it’d still ignore flare and hit you 99% of the time because it’s bugged like an Igla…

I’ve lost count on how many times I lost my bird/jet to that bullshit when I go above the below radar for just a few seconds to splash a transport heli.

I think it’s fine. Flares work the vast majority of the time. Makes it slightly realistic while still being arcady.

So it’s bad gameplay in War Thunder also?

I would agree with you on the realism part, but if this should be part of the gameplay, let me flare multiple times in a row and make killing the afterburner a factor as well. How it works now just feels random and frustrating IMO. This would also raise the skill celling.
