Imagine having to play something like the Indonesian Mi-35 with a max of eight 5km Shturms against the 16km FnF monsters that are vastly more fast and agile…
You’re really at their mercy, if they decide they want to go for any type of target available there’s nothing you can do especially on maps like City and Rocky Canyon.
And it doesn’t even start out with Sturms, it has to grind them through rocket rushes…
Try doing that with a stock helicopter and tell me how playable it is
You forgot that they also nerfed the ATG rocket and missile damage on bases because everyone in Air RB would just use rockets instead of bombs to destroy bases so ATGMS and rockets do a third of the damage they used to
It would still have a lot of MAJOR problems beside the BR decompression. We’d still have the nearly unkillable convoys at lower BRs, bugged objectives, and target deserts.
Helicopter PvE needs a drastic overhaul just like the SEAD and Nuclear Thunder events proved they are capable of.
That’s one thing I’d have faith in them getting right one day. Even if it’s attached to Infantry modes maybe?
Flying logistic sorties for infantry players would be peak heli gameplay
Heli and Infantry PvE being the same mode would be amazing, it’d let them flesh it out so much more…
If Gaijin could pull it off. There’s a lot of potential there, but it’d require a correct implementation… Imagine being overrun as infantry before an AH-1G comes in blasting the enemy waves with its 40mm, then a Huey lands with supplies and reinforcements… Maybe even an opportunity to catch a ride to another objective.
It’s quite literally less than 0.01% of the community. It’s nobody. Goes for sim too
Literally literally untrue.
No it isn’t. Go add up the entire playerbase you can visually see playing sim EC in any given moment of the day. Then go queue for arcade air. You will find more people waiting for a game in matchmaker in arcade than you will find playing the entire sim gamemode.
“nobody” = 0. The number of heli PVE (or Sim) players is a nonzero number.
I find the wait times for heli games no worse than arcade, assaults, boats or any other mode besides the realistic grinder.
Great way to ignore what is actually being said to make yourself appear “right” for internet brownie points
The only caveat being that turning join-in-progress off leads to far slower matchmaking with generally far better match quality, but others need to do it as well.
Your the one who went “literally”… words mean things.
Sure thing buddy, I’ll let you win the internet argument. Yay! Now go tell your friends.
There’s basically whole YouTube channels dedicated to it, and it was very fun in DayZ mod and ARMA.
There was cool a DCS server where helis could deploy FARPs and SAM sights. Never got to play it but I hope we can get something like this in war thunder. We already have a lot of the necessary helicopters and assets.
If the infantry are complex AI, You could support them with utility choppers and deliver them troops as like an air cavalry logistics battle in a “Battlefield” like mode.
