I read through most of the topic OMFG AA and can understand both sides of the argument. I am an infantry man that hates getting bombed and I do feel the air vehicles were somewhat overpowered. I have 50 hours in air vehicles though and do enjoy that aspect of the game and feel that the patch has gone overboard in an attempt to even the playing feild. I suppose it will take another patch yet and maybe more after that to finally balance out the two types of gameplay...ie air and land. Overall the topic of this thread is not about whether the new patch is good or not.

The topic of this thread has to do with a reasonable movement towards equalizing the playing field  (infantry/air) in making AA like Arty/UAV/Scan in the sence that they could get destroyed rather than spawn. Engineers would get a point for fixing it and it would make it less easy for someone not playing an engineer kit to just happen upon a healthy AA and easily take out an air vehicle. This could create a more appealing engineer kit which would be nice for the infantry types and it would also make things slightly easier on the jets because places where the AA hadn't been fixed would be less of a threat.

Just an idea...Obviously I haven't thought it through that much and I will likely get flamed for it.

actually, i really like this idea.  i think it would work well for ground defense as well.  too many times have i been in a tank or apc capturing a flag, blown up the nearby TOW, only to have it respawn and have someone use it to kill me. 

also, we all know how difficult it is to get repair points.  this would make there be more repairable things on the battlefield, so repair points might come a bit easier.

this is one of the few ideas ive seen on here that is not only good, but it makes complete sense.

Great idea!

I've always thought of another add-on to the Engineer role would be like the Corp of Engineer where you can build say a bridge or AA where needed (the more of this group, the quicker it's built).

Great idea all around. Fixing AA emplacements and TOW emplacements would be a great boost for the popularity of the engineer. We all need AA and TOW and suddenly the engineer is needed by more than just the commander needing Assets fixed or vehicles repaired.  I like the idea alot and should be something presented on the EA Forums if they have such a section.

I hope people don't mind me bumping this topic up again. I started this thread the day the patch came out and everyone was focused on it. I don't think too many people were reading other posts that day cause this one didn't get too many views. So I thought more people would be interested in my thread this time around. If not I won't bring it up again. So Thanks
