This may be a controller specific thing, but I remember from before its implementation I was confident in being able to combat others from the air. I understand that the initiative with Airborne Effectiveness was to reign in the viability of certain Special Weapons more than anything, but even with Bungie's numerous efforts in improving it for Primary Weapons, it just doesn't feel consistent enough to rely on.
Back when it was implemented, I remember the sentiment was generally negative, and its since died down due for one reason or another.
Anyone else feel the same?

They are adding a helmet mod in final shape that will give AE and can stack. Should be able to get up to 35 AE from 3 mods I believe. AE has been a game-changer for my bow to the point where I mainly like to aerial shoot now.
