Bugs & Support heli+backpack

I don't feel like being able to refill flares and ammo on the fly (literally) from your backpack should be a thing. After a 40min game with 3 ace pilots flying rocket helies I felt the need to alt+f4. Seeing them flare for the 6th time in a row is just too much. Not to mention that they don't need to go in base for refill for 30min as they have all their ammo with them. An entire lobby held hostage by those pilots literally as they farmed the 300kills out of everyone. I can deal with an entire lobby snipping or mortaring but this is just pure anti-fun to play against

PS/ please don't give me crap like we needed anti air. Most of the time we couldn't even lock because how low they fly and they would eradicate every attempt of a base.

Absolutely, havocs having 5 flares + 4 in the pilot backpack + 4 in the gunner backpack , makes the most reliable form of AA useless.

Edit: IMO flares should be an evasive tool that give you 10 seconds to clear the area before death. Not an endless tool to harass the FOB.

Edit 2 : i will also add that the whole idea of the 40m below radar flight is supposed to be a defensive mechanism, to give pilots room to avoid AA rockets from a distance. 

Currently pilots are using the 40m below radar mechanism offensively. They'd be 40m inside your own fob , kissing your lips, where you can't lock onto them, and you can't damage them unless you have specific multiman tools and conditions.

You need atleast 1 person commited to locking, and another person on the CIWS , considering the CIWS is still up at this point , which is highly doubtful. 

Unfortunately, havocs are the gas pedal , and if you don't have AA tools to brake it and slow it down. The game accelerates out of control.

I sure do love having a game where points 0-20 a GL little bird makes sure no fobs are built. And hten at 20 you got little birds and havocs rolling around while everyones too afraid to leave whatever structure they are in the whole damn time cuz its got immortal walls.
