"• Mortar strike explosions are now shown on the HUD for the shooter."
Wow, now the mortar is so easy to use. It was better before, where people had to be careful about how much they moved their mouse and where to aim.

overnerfed? really?
dice why you so stupid
"• Removed flares from gunner position in helicopters. With the right combination of unlocks, an attack helicopter could be effectively invulnerable to lock on missiles. Removing the flares from the gunner balances the attack helicopter against ground fire."
No, you're doing it wrong. The heli can be easily taken down, you don't even need a whole squad dedicated to taking it down. Not to mention with jets and enemy helos and SOFLAMs constantly locking on to us. The only reason helis were "invulnerable" which they weren't really, was because the pilot and gunner would actually communicate and be skillful compared to the AA infantry. YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PUNISH PEOPLE WHO ARE SKILLFUL AND MAKE THE GAME EASIER FOR 8-YEAR-OLDS. It's not OUR fault that SOME people actually COMMUNICATE and use TEAMWORK while others DON'T when DICE's entire MARKETING AD. was how much TEAMWORK and COMMUNICATION and SKILL you need in BATTLEFIELD 3.

And to those saying it's still fine, NOPE. Even with below radar, for attack choppers it's as easy as fly a bit higher and you are constantly being locked onto and sprayed down by jets. Fly a bit low and there are 100s of RPGs and Tanks shooting at you. I mean we already have an infinite-ranged-AA shooting at us with his main gun, now we have its AA missiles and RPGs and Iglas constantly locking on and now always hitting unless we sit back towards the base.
For scout choppers/transport choppers... I Don't Even.
