Just played another game of Heli PVE trying to grind out the PARS 3 modification on the EC-665 UHT for Germany; I’m currently stock with only 4 ATGMS, no air to air missiles, and no guns.
Take off from airfield and 2 minutes in immediately have Gepards spawn right underneath me killing me instantly. I respawn and try to head straight for the ground targets but a Mi-28NM and another AH-64E had killed them all before I could reach them again. I continue flying only for another set of Gepards to spawn underneath me but I manage to snag one Gepard and drop behind a hill so they can’t shoot me with terrain in the way but by the time I get enough distance from the ground targets they’ve all been taken out again.
The game ends in about 20 minutes with an AH-64E and Mi-28NM on our team getting around 50-70 ground kills and 30-40 air kills respectively with no deaths while I managed to get 7 kills and died 4 times just trying to get a single ground kill.
I could understand premium helicopters like the KA-50 playing this gamemode to grind the helicopter tech tree but these are AH-64E’s and Mi-28NM’s mopping up all the ground and air kills to themselves because LMURS and AGM-179 work surprisingly well as air to air missiles, there’s no reason to play this gamemode if you’ve already unlocked these weapons yet these players still choose to and it completely ruins the gamemode for stock helis
