As much as it fits the ‘if I can’t have fun, no one can’ mantra it is a valid point since it removes the need for people to have to watch the skies before reaching a Cap, especially against Kamovs since I encounter them almost every match these days.
Only one coping here is you, especially after your original post whining about Starstreaks, I will still carry them every time I play the AH Mk.1 just to smite Pantsirs, Su-25SM3s and Kamovs
Ka50/52 being a flying tank: 💀
Agreed. And for all of the short-sighted people commenting about the first spawn capability and the ability to kill light tanks blah blah blah, here are some other facts:
Every other vehicle in the game can kill light tanks at spawn! To include spaa, which is far superior to helis, they can kill light tanks, medium tanks, air, and yet we had one tool to counter them at spawn with the MK and now it’s gone.
In fact, now it has no AAM at spawn, taking it from the best heli game to the worst - but of course the ka-52s were not touched.
This was horrible, short-sighted, ill-informed, and pandering. If people whine enough versus having the skill to compete, then the game makers will cave apparently, unless it’s Russia.

Except no other heli got any kind of anti-ground guided ordnance on first spawn.
lol
“whine enough” is when I get spawnkilled 3 times at the start of the match by someone who can be entirely immune to our team because he can’t be scouted or flanked, and can reposition at will from outside the battlefield into an advantageous position.
All because they get a capability that, again, NO OTHER HELICOPTER IN THE GAME GETS.
boo womp
I basically spawn killed a BMP earlier today with the Stormer right from the match start. Was kinda funny :D
I’m not sure every other vehicle has SACLOS guided 1125m/s velocity 7km range missiles with 3.0-63.5x optics and the ability to vertically traverse so you can look directly into spawns within a minute of the game.

“AAM”’s is the issue…
People used them as AntiTank, and they worked, as anti-tank. So, no, not Britain’s time to have a meta helicopter.

I haven’t checked but do the cost of Hellfires + ATASK stack? One of the reasons the AH.1 was so good was ATASK gave you a counter to SACLOS SPAA (and Vikhrs prior to Spikes/PARS)

The additional sp cost is determined solely on the highest sp costing muntion.
You can take 100sp+260sp weapons and it will cost 260sp
So it’s still one of the better helicopters in the game then
I was really hoping there’d be a legitimate complaint and not ppl crying they can’t cheese at the start of the game anymore.

You killed 4 lights with your first spawn starstreaks and then got enough SP for full Hellfire+Starstreak loadout.
