It’s very fun to rocket strafe with this and its iconic as a vehicle but playing it again lately I’ve realized theres just way too many bad maps for this combined with the fact everyone and their mother has a hard counter to it. Even in a downtier to 6.7 its really easy for something like even a Tiger 2 to just shoot you if you come in low, and if you come in high then not only will your rockets be harder to aim, and not only will people see you way sooner but you’ll also open yourself up to multiple guns shooting instead of maybe a few by staying low. Not to mention all the autocannons added to this BR over the years
You can’t fix it either to be a good vehicle because the bad maps will always be present and the hard counters that exist everywhere will also always be present. Even if you put this thing at 4.0 it won’t stop a wirbelwind from downing you. You’re just too vulnerable.
Feel free to give your own opinion but do so respectfully.
All lowtier helicopters are complete ass. The only helis that are good are hightier laser/FnF choppers. Especially considering that Gaijin won’t impliment an accurate FCS so a single 7.62 mm tracer shell grazing your rotor is all it takes to remove the ability to fire. This is infact why they suck. Hightier helis don’t have to engage within 10km unless they want to, but lowtier helis either have only rocket armament(AH-1G like you said) or the missiles are such trash that you would rather have rockets(Hkp3C)
Iirc this was my first heli and it was probably worst thing I ever experienced in this game. Swedish huey felt like gods gift after cobra.
No idea how getting mowed down over and over with 0, 1 or maybe 2 kills can be considered fun. Especially without ccrp and with mighty mouse. And on brs filled with all sorts of autocannons.
You get a ton of 0 games then 1 game where you get 9 kills because nobody tried to kill you and its very cinematic/fun to do when that happens. It’s just as you said, there will be lots of crap games before
