It was too much. The Bombers were a Problem but not the Fighters with the exception of the 8x Machine Gun Upgrade of the Spitfire. And now ?
Especially the german Messerschmidt are a complete Joke. The G-6 is unplayable with Minengeschoss damage reduced by 79% !!!!!!!!!!!!! and only 150 Ammo.
The 8x upgraded Spitfire still does fine.
Honestly Dice with the exception of that one Spitfire Upgrade, Planes were fine. But you seem to love destroying your own Game.

Agree + the Stuka. There was no need for that change. Even the Belheim was fine.
Two planes was a problem. The Spitfire + the JU88 and the the spawnkill at the beginning of the maps.
It would have been so easy just to do those changes first and then see the result.
And then DICE ad OP AA + MAA. When do they learn to make small changes at a time and then see the results.
Instead of 3 problems, we now have way more problems to fix.
before, i used to die 3-5x from a bomber every round that has planes.
since the patch, i've died to a bomber exactly once (my last round)!
i like this change. bombers shouldn't be able to very easily get 50+ kills a round.
What they should've done is make it easier to shoot down instead of nerfing it to hell
Adapt, right? Isn't that what u guys always said to people when the complained about op bombers/planes?
I never said such a thing. When people complained about bombers in BF1, I told them that those bombers were easily shot down. In BFV, bombers are significantly harder to shoot down.

I meant in general.
When people complain about something being op, the people who enjoy the benefits respond with things like "git gud" and "just adapt". But when those same people have something nerfed that they like to do [see: snipers, pilots] its the end of the world and "lines are crossed".
So why don't u guys be better than that and "just adapt"?

Seriously. Long before the patch pilots on this forum were saying that the JU-88 needs to be nerfed. I actually cannot remember anyone saying "git gud" when people complained about the JU-88. So your comment is at best, a stab in the dark.
.
On the other hand adapting may be possible with some planes to a certain extent, but others have completely lost all use. The Spitfire VB for example is now pretty useless. As are in my opinion Stukas, which should be able to precision bomb tanks. But how do you do that with a single 250kg bombg that more offten than not weirdly bounces of tanks to do a whopping 3 damage?
.
Contrary to what I have read here from some the spitfire VA and BF109 G-6 are not useless. I can still manage a 25:0 but in 25 minutes and not really having any impact on the ground battle. To have that they need to either be able to target tanks or more than an occasional infantry soldier. And perhaps also throw flares, but those you can't have anymore if you want the bombs. Right now fighters play out their own little side battle in the air. And that is just stupid.
.
And like it or not. THe recent nerf to all planes is, to my recollection, the most heavy handed single nerf to any weapon, class or vehicle in the history of battlefield. The Sitfire VA for example lost 65% of its ammunition, while the BF109 lost 79% of the Minengeschoss ammunition, which was also nerfed in relation to general damage and splash damage.

The german fighters are in fact still overpowered vs bombers as they can use their airburst rockets to 2hk any bomber with no chances for the allied bomber to ever damage them back enough in time.
The asymmetrical vehicle (im)balance can go rot as far as I am concerned

Yeah, those rockets really should not do more than 30 damage for a perfect hit. They are however great to stick it to the seat switchers reminds me of the days when you could just drop trench darts on seat switcher's planes to take them out
Again where is a DEV ??? Why can’t they come to the forums and say they
screwed up with there last patch... We over did it with the Air nerfing our bad we will fix in next update💩💩🤬
The JU-88 was just way too good at release. However instead of making some tweaks until we hit a sweet spot DICE go and nerf planes across the board, add reload times, buff AA, reduce payload and of course whilst it brings the JU-88 down, it also hit other planes that were completely fine such as Stuka real hard.
Bombing the spawn was disgusting and needed to be removed, i admit i did it a few times its very satisfying seeing 15 kills come up at round start but as infantry it was infuriating and just bad game design.

Why do the seat switchers get so much grief? We're they supposed to just stay in the pilot seat and let the fighter have his way with them? The bomber almost never gets fighter or aa support from its team or even a gunner and often the gunner does a poor job.

the general comment in this thread: "the JU88 was way to OP!"
In an extent I agree, but;
whenever I jumped into my spitfire with 8x, those JU88's dropped like flies. (rock, Scissors, paper)
Some1 wrote in this topic;
"Worst nightmare for infantry should be tanks, worst nightmare for tanks should be planes" < this summarize the whole Battlefield History.
thats a good statement when you come to think about it.
I bet, as I wrote weeks ago, if DICE removed the 3D person aiming rectacle (that circel on the ground)
then 99 out of 100 Pilots would miss most of the bombs.
once you start missing your bombs, it doesn't matter how powerfull the bombs are..
= skill based gameplay.
Imo DICE went completly wrong with the last patch.
