If you don't think it puts aircraft at risk to stop and hover you haven't been paying attention. There probably is no greater risk currently to an ESF then to hover over a contested base and wait for a target. Not to mention though that usually happens because the game is broken and pilots are forced to stay within 300 meters of a target if they want to have much of a chance to see infantry render.

So now we are still just as vulnerable and squishy as before but have dramatically nerfed agility. So your comment on we are for strafing runs just show your lack of understanding in this game. Sure if it worked at all times and we never had render issues you could hope for that. But currently VTOL is the only way we can effectively provide A2G coverage due to the fact we may have to hover for a couple of seconds just to see infantry on the ground.

<sigh> well I expected pilots to cry over fixes that stop it being so easy to be a pilot. Aircraft are not designed to hover about then easily avoid any rocket headed at them they are meant to keep moving to avoid being hit. If you stay still you should expect to get hit and find it hard to get moving again quickly.

It's obviously not a fix since it's not in the patch notes. The rest of your argument just builds on this fallacy.

Every time someone brings up a legitimate issue, forumside players start filibustering to keep things broken.

Has anyone shot T-ray or Higby a tweet then if they're that concerned over this?

I've sent two, no response yet. If they screwed up they don't want to talk about it.

Please disregard this thread as I started a new one to cover the broadness of the mass changes on all vehicles.
