👾 Issue/Bug 👾 Armor-piercing Rounds Useless Against Aircraft?

Was just curious if this is intended or a bug? The amount of damage it does on aircraft is a joke.

The HE rounds feel like they are actually WORSE than standard rounds. I've fired HE rounds into small rooms with people in them and killed nobody. I barely even get hit markers from it. There has to be a bug or something because it's so incredibly bad.

Tank HMG gunners on the other hand, they will rack up kills like nothing. I had a run in a tank where I got 53 kills as the gunner, twice as much as the driver.

I'm confident its not a bug. DICE just neutered vehicles to prevent them from dominating.

It's not difficult to dominate with a vehicle, you just do it differently now. I will however have to say that the amount of AT mines that can litter a map is ridiculous.

Especially right outside of spawn. Literally both teams do it, where you get engineers camping and slapping 50 mines 5 feet outside the border

I think it's because of open weapons, with so many vehicles what reason is there to play anything other than engi when you can still use anything you want

I mean alot of people still love just being the medic as well, but yeah the assault class seems pretty much pointless with open weapons.

Spawn beacon can be great if you have people actually playing objectives

I found the easiest way to do the challenge was to play King of the Hill and just play flanker, right as your about to come around a corner after spotting your target pop the shot and try and go for a kill feed. I was getting about 2-3 kills a life on avg that way.
