This has been a massive issue since Helicopters came out. We need to raise our voice so gaijin actually sees and makes the change as it has worked in the past with the RP changes.
firstly, even with the ability to grind helis with ground vehicles its still ridicoulsly long so i think they should make it so aircrafts can also grind helis.
secondly the stock grind. Stock grinding a helicopter is a nightmare. PVP is mainly out of the question especially for early helicopters are they lack CCIP for rockets and ATGMs with a few exceptions (go figure, the mi24a) and even at higher tiers its still a massive pain and will take a long long time. PVE isnt viable either anymore. for about 1 hr of consistant play time and being top of leaderboard. the gamemode barely rewards the proper amount of RP and SL that is deserved. maps are too big, games are too long and AIs and objectives are bugged.
dealing with helis for ground is annoying yes. but its even worse when the average player cant play these because of the grind and it isnt fair that only youtubers, people that pay or long term veterans have access to these vehicles.
my ideas to change the heli grind
- make it so aircrafts can contribute to the grind of helicopters
- revamp heli PVE entirely. as mentioned before, maps are too big and games are too long for the amount of RP you get. make maps smaller and games shorter by making it objective based. city is a ok map as it isnt too big but maybe slightly smaller
- fix the AI in PVE. gepards are extremely strong at lower BRs. AI convoys are bugged as they sometimes go underwater or able to climb mountains at like 80 degrees
- reduce the modification cost
these are just some ideas to ease the helicopter grind. if we can make this noticable by spreading the message we can get a change. so i hope anybody that reads this does so. and even if it gets ignored. i will continue create topics like these to hopefully get notice one day
