Wow and chopper gunners can no longer use flares!

Yeah, this is complete BS. 

It's a powerful combo, ECM and flares, but it is NOT unstoppable.  Anyone that flies this tandem loadout deserves to be difficult to take down, because its so hard to find a gunner or pilot willing to work the combo to it's advantage.

The ultimate FU is the buff to jet weapons and AA against choppers.

With Armored Kill hours away and I get notice of this?

Removing helicopter gunner flares was a bad decision. I'm very happy about the accuracy boost to LMGs but not to HMGs. I dislike seeing people running around hip firing HMGs, or maybe they're called GPMGs I forget, but yeah the Pecheneg and M240B do not need accuracy boosts when standing.

Magnum was fine and didn't need a rate of fire nerf. So unexplicably happy that my baby, the sweet lovely and deadly M417 isn't getting nerfed with anything I use on it (Iron sights/ no attachment/ laser)!

Apparently the M16A3 won't be the must-have assault rifle that's good at everything anymore.

Not sure if I'm happy or sad to see the scout chopper's #4 seat become a heli CIT-V.

Still no fix on ECM and flares being so inconsistent for stopping incoming laser or heat-seeking missiles.

Could DICE please give the scout helis some rocket pods?!!!

• The Laser Designator unlock on the Scout Helicopters has been changed from a Pilot Upgrade to a new stance in the Copilot seat (position 4). Like the CITV turret on the Main Battle Tanks, the Scout Helicopter’s Laser Designator is permanently available to players who have received the unlock.

Is the laser designator now a controllable unlock for the position 4 passenger, like the CITV is in MBTs for the 3rd passenger?
How did the pilot previously control the laser designator? Or was it automatic, like an unattended SOFLAM?

So, does that mean it'll still be automatic for the attack chopper pilot?
