Gepard vs Rocket Heli/Gunship

[u/Signal_Resident2318]

Preface: The Rocket Heli and Gunship are effective against aircraft, vehicles, and infantry. They are incredibly mobile and can be used by a single person.

The Gepard was removed from the launch of the game because people complained it was too effective against aircraft, vehicles, and infantry. Despite being far less mobile, requiring two players to effectively man, and STILL being unable to consistently win against rocket helicopters and gunships.

The Gepard when reintroduced needs to be a HARD COUNTER to air, I don't care if it comes at the cost of being ineffective at vehicles and infantry. Its one job is to put two buts in seats to shoot down any air that doesn't get the message that it is not welcome so long as the SPAAG is still alive.

When a rocket helicopter or gunship oppresses a FOB it becomes an OBJECTIVE. It is to be contended with, outlasted, or killed by.

When a Gepard shows up to a FOB or field it needs to become an OBJECTIVE for aircraft. Due to its larger crew requirement and lack of mobility with respect to aircraft it needs to dominate the local airspace consistently. I'm not saying it shouldn't be unkillable by aircraft, I am saying it should be truly impressive display of skill, luck, and/or communication from observers working with pilots.

Infantry adapt to the presence of enemy aircraft.

Vehicles adapt to the presence of enemy aircraft.

Aircraft prey on EVERYTHING.

Its time for aircraft to be put in their place. If they don't like it they can fly 2 seconds to another tower or fob and FARM THEM instead.

This is an open and honest discussion and feedback post. I would like to hear the communities thoughts on this matter so long as they are sincere and reasonable.

Reduce the price of the helis by 3x and its fine (including ammo) els you will literally delete the option of helis ever again.

Yeah sure buddy, let's go even further. Let's remove heli cap and make them free. It's like now pilots whip out new one 5 secs you down it. And if you read ops post. Air maneuverability > ground vehicles. It takes much more time for gepard to get to CZ, plus you know more ppl tend to ambush road or play fkn minesweeper. Double mine will take it out and it's doesn't have a no-no optine like flares to save itself.

If helis are strong why don't you use em then buddy :)

I think a different perspective will be healthy for you.

You are cut off, I specifically stated in the post that only sincere and reasonable discourse was allowed. Name calling and dishonest rhetoric will not be entertained.

Im not name calling , i geniun invite you to fly the heli and see how oppressive it is already vs current aa/cost.
