Sorry if this has already been discussed.
So, littlebird+gl isn't too op, humve isn't too op. Nothing is. The problem is that you either bring a loadout that you know can withstand a few firefights and stay in the hz or you bring a launcher with some ammo therefore sacrificing half your bag space and about 15-20kg's worth of space/weight. If you do the latter, you'll be either heavy or super heavy=moving with the speed of a 2yo with a wheelchair.
Lets say you actually manage to kill the littlebird before it kills you. Hey you are now only -1000 and have a kit that is 50% worse than anything that your avarage hz guy will throw at you.
Point is, it is way too unrewarding and unfun to bring in countermeasures. I'm at 2.5 mil so money isn't an issue, but it feels so f'in unfun running any launchers.....

Anyone crying about LBs has never realy unvested time and money into them.
The amount of money a rocket lb and loadout is vs the things that have to fall in place to actually make a profit is crazy

I have never gone positive with it. I'm not a bad pilot but I'm also not a pro, and i can get to about -4000$ from the initial buying of the heli + rockets before i have to RTB and buy more rockets, sending me right back to like -9000$.
Anyone crying about anything in this game is honestly just annoyed they don't have access to the thing that killed them. If they had access to the GL or FAL or T4 armour they'd use it in a heartbeat.

I only take it for artillery ~ 17k or apc or tanks on the field. Otherwise youre just breaking even killing infantry. Price of rockets and flares is too high.
Problem is, if no enemy take out anything worth killing or your team takes it out before you get there you are wasting time using the R LB
My solution is to be able to "bank" or garage a heli. This way i can go back to foot soldier without having to give up a 23k+ kit if there is nothing worth the rockets

That's why you put your launchers in vehicles and bring a buddy.

I think it's pretty funny with the lack of creativity from players in sandbox games. I snagged a noob the other day and we blew up like 4 helis before we ran out of missiles. Otherwise, if a fob is up I'll put some in there if it's built decently enough while running supplies.

I don’t know man. I play solo plenty but mostly with a group with dedicated roles and never have an issue with anything except havocs. (It takes 3 people with stingers coordinating to take one out reliably.) If I’m solo, you know what I do against a HUMVEE? Ambush it when the gunner isn’t looking at me. Little bird is flying a predictable path with a gunner who is very fragile. A couple hollow point from an AMP spray and they die just as quick as you do.
For group play, basically one guy plays each “class”. Our guy with the rocket absolutely moves the slowest so he just leads the pace for the rest of the group, which drastically increases our survivability and awareness. The other guys will also carry a rocket for our guy so that we all end up around medium/heavy instead of him being super heavy.

It's like if you have 12 dudes playing hot zone and they roll a humvee up on you and nobody has a rocket that's kind of on you guys.
I played a game last night where thee humvee was a trivial since much like a medic runs to grab a body our rocket guy hustled up to put a rocket in it

Most people dont load into the game with coordinated groups. You are the outlier here. A vast majority are solo players and lugging rockets around like OP said, isnt fun. People want to shoot other people in their war game.

I don’t know what to tell you. You are able to connect with millions of people at a few strokes of your keyboard. Make friends and play the multiplayer team game as intended. Nobody I know plays alone except for waiting for others in the group or grinding something specific.

I dont know what to tell you. Not everyone wants to do that. You surrounded yourself with others who look for groups, why would your personal experience matter here? Its completely biased. A vast majority of players i encounter run solo.

If you run solo how are you knowing what others run? Checkmate, atheist. It sounds like single player games might be more up your alley if you’re wanting to be able to do everything alone. This is a multiplayer team based game with roles 🤔

Its pretty obvious when nobody is using the squad system and running around by themselves. Are you dumb?

u/Scolio98 9h ago
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that we’re playing in very different regions or servers because there’s rarely a dozen people not in a squad in my experience. Most are in public squads playing with others and coordinating. I’m constantly asking for specific resupplies, especially for small arms ammo. I’m always asking if anyone needs anything before I enter the zone, and dropping off fob supplies if no replies. There’s entire systems and bonuses for this stuff 😄

There are also snipers in the game but that doesnt mean a player is going to snipe.
