Did anyone else find the FAV can shoot down a transport helicopter like nothing? I mean I was flying on Wake Island 2007 and some guy sitting in the turret of a FAV shot us down within 5 seconds. We were all like wtf?! Also the attack helicopters seem to be overly powerful. We were getting totally dominated by the chinese apache right off the start. It just destroyed the AA and went to town killing everyone. I thought the patch was suppose to reduce the overall strength of the attack helicopters. IMO this patch kinda sucks. It ruined some aspects of the game.
No the attach chopper is not that good anymore. It has like 30% less hp and like 50% less missiles now. And the AA finally hits. Now the chopper is quite balanced, u can still destroy tanks etc with the TV missile quite easily, but u have to be carefull of AA, FAVs etc shooting at u. Even a single AT kit missile takes like 60-80% of hp (depending on where it hits). So u get hit once with an AT missile -> back to repair station.

And I don't think you can shoot down the UAV. It's just some gay looking aircraft that circles around high up in the sky.
U can shoot it down, no one just bothers because u don't get points from doing it

I do like the fact that they got rid of some of the exploits namely the sprint exploit and dolphin diving. Also some of the changes on weapons seem to be better as well.
I like the bunny hopping & dolphin diving fixes, but I don't like the guns so much.
The primary AT-kit weapon needed the accuracy, but reducing the damage on DAO was stupid. Also are pistols not as accurate as they were before? Atleast I don't hit anything with them anymore
But the fact that the LMGs are usefull is exellent.
Overall I'd say it was a very good patch, air vehicles are not so overpowered anymore, no n00bs attaching from behind a corner, jumping, launching the nade to their own feet and end up killing u but not harming themselves etc.
