'Ello, here’s a list I’ve compiled of the other things that seem broken or at least need some tweaking: [DICE and the community, lets talk about jets!](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/dice-and-the-community-lets-talk-about-jets/159184)

I agree with what your wrote on the OP except one thing I’m still not sure: the chase cam. I still haven’t decided if I would want it to be back like in BF3.. “forcing” cockpit dogfighting raises the skill bar and the learning curve IMO.

Also, JDAM bombs should be like the IEDs on that railroad map! Explosions look so badass and insane damage. Of course, they should be ‘nerfed’ to 1 instead of 2 in that case. That’s never gonna happen anyways, I’m just daydreaming

Well…(sigh…) … as long as they dont annoy us like in BF3.

Stealth or Attack?

Attack. Haven’t flown Stealth yet but I assume from what people are saying they’re like BF3 with a weaker gun.

Perhaps you should get more flight time before you start calling people scrubs and such. Pretty sure you’ll be back with very similar complaints if you’re a worthy jet fan!

Try stealth and come back.

3rd person view is the biggest problem. It doesn’t feel natural like it was in BF3. The planes feel wiggly and correcting all settings back to my BF3 settings didn’t solve it.

One other thing that should be fixed too is the HUD. It is so small that it’s hard to find and if you find it, try reading it against a light background. It takes too much time and focus. Bring back the old bigger HUDs like BF3 to read speed quickly.

Another way to balance jets. Remove them. They are OP as usual and an average pilot can ruin any game as usual. Thanks ;^)

- Yes
- Yes
- Lock on? NOOOOOO WAY. Add dumb bombs (replace heatseekers on attack and laser guided on stealth), 2 for stealth jet, 4 for attack jets (with long reload time) make them bf2 like but not 1hk.
- Yes

jets themselves are balanced problem is the flyable area in the maps are tiny giving them no room to maneuver.

Making the playable space huge and making the jets spawn in a good 1 to 2 km away from the battlefield would fix the issue.

Removing the radar from attack jets would help too.

Less than 3 days in, and the pilots are already going apeshit.
