　　The 60mm Flak Weapon Pod was underperforming against air vehicles so we have increased its effectiveness. Alongside that change we have also reduced its damage toward infantry to further solidify its purpose.

　　Velocity has been increased from 150 -> 250Detonation delay decreased from 0.15 -> 0.02Vehicle detonation radius decreased from 10 -> 2Damage multiplier to infantry reduced 0.47 -> 0.05An issue has been resolved that caused the 60mm Flak Weapon Pod to unintentionally damage infantry when damaging vehiclesAH-64GX Apache Warchief and KA-520 Super Hokum

　　We have observed that Stealth Helicopters have become the dominant Air Vehicle of choice since their introduction in Season 1. In Update 2.1, we are making several balance adjustments to the AH-64GX Apache Warchief and KA-520 Super Hokum to ensure all Helicopters have a dedicated purpose on the Battlefield. As a result, we’re increasing their anti-vehicle effectiveness.

　　127mm Anti-Vehicle Rocket Pack velocity has been increased127mm Anti-Vehicle Rocket Pack damage has been increased from 100 -> 130127mm Anti-Vehicle Rocket Pack is now more accurately in shorter ranges127mm Anti-Vehicle Rocket Pack Replenish rate has been lowered 1.3 -> 230mm Cannon Gunner Rate of Fire has been lowered 350 -> 20030mm Cannon Velocity has been increased30mm Cannon Gunner Damage Start Damage increased 18 -> 4030mm Cannon Gunner Damage End Damage increased 8 -> 2530mm Cannon Blast Damage increased from 18 -> 2030mm Cannon Overheat has been increasedMD540 Nightbird - Mounted 7.62mm Miniguns

　　Minigun Wind Up Time has been loweredMinigun Wind Down Time has been increasedOverall Dispersion has been loweredOverheat has been increasedMV38-Condor / Mi-240 Super Hind - 7.62mm Minigun Pod

　　We have observed the Transport Helicopter 7.62mm Minigun Pod was mainly used for long range combat. We are making several balance adjustments to ensure its focus remains on intended defensive and close range use. It’s now more accurate, but with an overall decreased damage output and range while also overheating faster.
