Every game I play just seems to degenerate into 3-4 planes spawn killing the opposite team.
Its imbalanced because
1 - Air vehicles are perfect at spawn killing as you can cover all escape routes and quickly pick players off before they know whats happening. No other vehicle can do this. A Scorpion can only cover a limited area and is slow.
2 - Lets say you’re on the losing team. I have a bunch of Hannibal Mantis and Scorpions rock up. I have no high level REQs No problem: I just have to sneak up and hijack one; bye bye tank. Now if its a load of Ultra Banshee’s. Well, theres literally nothing you can do. Unless the player is a total idiot, he ain’t getting hijacked.
3 - Its not a simple case of shooting them down. Massed DMR and BR fire will not stop flocks of flyers from wrecking the team. A Ultra Banshee is a flying tank and can take multiple shots from high power weapons.
4 - Air vehicles are impossible to hijack. Assuming the player is a total idiot he will never come close enough. As for EMP, its a lot more complicated than a normal vehicle. Its a lot harder to hit. The vehicle has time to recover as it falls to get away. Theres also a lot more confusion in the manoeuvre and risk involved as you try to pull this off. You just have to compare how often you get hijacked in a Banshees versus how often in any other kind of vehicle.
All this means its extremely difficult for any team to come back from being put in this situation.
The only nerf I feel they need is banshees shouldn’t be able to flip over and over and over. There should be a cool down period of a few seconds between them.

It’s an expensive REQ item, you only have 4 shots and usually he will flip to dodge you. Plus it’s quite noticeable that you are using it and you are very vulnerable.
If everything is nerfed to be more balanced, the game wouldn’t be any fun. Sometimes things are meant to be overpowered. Deal with it and use the damn splasers.

I agree with that man! the Splaser solves everything! Can’t afford a Splaser? Use a plasma pistol or grenade launcher emp.

Agreed they should make normal wasps level 4 then when they add tundra, corp and urban be level 5 and woodland and oni be 6 and hannibal level 7 req

Yeah but also make them where they could be useful before it reaches banshee level

Maybe a damage feature too? You flip too many times and the plasma drive overheats and causes damage…would love to see one of those Banshee hoggers on Estuary blow himself up by accident.
Air vehicles are fine. There do seem to be a ton of wasp up right now, but it’s pretty simple to take down air vehicles if you’re patient enough. Especially if you’re playing as a team the way this game was meant to be played. You know, before they decided to screw up warzone and cap the fireteam limit at 6, but that’s an entirely different issue. lol

It’s not expensive, and it’s fairly easy to hit Banshees with them.
Your complaint is basically saying that you are not good enough to do anything about air vehicles. My answer would be for you to practice some more and get better at the game. Air vehicles are fine as they are, and great fun to use. And there’s plenty of ways to take them down, it’s been covered dozens of times here on the forum.
I’ve heard Razor’s Edge is decent at taking out Wasps.
Arclight is probably an underrated vehicle killer, too.
And of course, you can always use other vehicles (Rocket Hogs and Mantises lock on to aerial vehicles, tanks can shoot them out of the sky with good timing, Ghosts and Hogs can probably outrun them with fancy driving).
