At least normal battles are kinda fun, heli pve not, its just for grind
10 cents a day… premium!
not worth it.
Then don’t waste an hour on something not worth 10 cents to you. That is your own poor decision.
Since Enemy Spawning Delayed Randomly
Bourbon Island Is Worst UnPlayble For Heli
Rocky Canyon Is Second Worst UnPlayble
Even SPAA Spawning Base Bombing Spot
I always like that one.
It’s one of the best next to Southeastern City
Canyon and Afghanistan are the worst, with City being horribly bugged often with nothing spawning for 20 minutes
Bourbon makes you to fly more time to reach the target, you either climb to get through the mountains, or go around, either way it makes you waiste your time. If not faster helis like mi24 reach before you.
Best imo its city and rock canyon

flight time isn’t bad since Useful Action rewards are every 10 mins anyway, and you only need around 400 Scoreboard points per 10m, PvP racing is just an issue with team size
canyon is absolute buns, lethal .50s from M113s/M60s shooting you down from 2km, high altitude making low tier/stock a chore and sharp topography shifts making hitting certain convoys even worse than Vietnam. City is alright when not bugged, the convoy spawning pattern is super condensed, unless you’re really passive; having a Gepard spawning near or underneath isn’t unusual which is why I prefer Southeastern

Gamemode really needs a rework, ngl.
-
More objective spawns, especially with 6+ players
-
If the above isn’t happening, limit playercount per lobby to 4
-
Remove canyon and afghanistan entirely, add better maps
-
Give 8km helis and top-tier FNF helis their own respective brackets, because those two are leaps ahead of their predecessors
-
Increase rewards, or allow win/kill wagers to be used in this mode once more
C’mon Gaijin, if a certain other dev can throw their PvE players a bone (WoWs) then surely you can too…

There’s been some new additions!
- Convoy Bradleys now shoot at you
- The ZA-35s on Rocky Canyon will try and intercept your munitions

Yeah I found the former out the hard way while attempting a low level rocket rush in my UHT (thanks Gaijin for finally adding the 2x PARS pods for the outer pylons, very cool). Not really sure what to make of it tbh. Same goes for ZAs intercepting munitions.
On the one hand, it adds an extra layer of challenge to break the monotony, on the other hand it’s even more middle fingers to helis with limited/lower range ATGMs…

Tbh, with those sorts of changes the need for better brackets and different challenges per bracket is even more obvious…
Early post-WW2 SPAAs and tanks for helis with unguided rockets+close-range AGMs
The lower bracket as it is now for helis with 4km AGMs
The higher bracket as it is now for helis with 8km AGMs
And an even higher bracket with more modern longer-ranged SPAA for longer-ranged FNF slingers
That is not going to happen. Too many bad actors were abusing the mode by botting their account, while overusing wagers with them. That what lead to them to disable wagers and change the economy to the “Useful Actions” system that caps the rewards. The same system they added to Air Simulator mode when that had a bot infestation problem.
Reverting the change by increasing the rewards is only going to invite that problem back again.
I honestly think that players wouldn’t mind the terrible rewards if the gameplay was actually fun. Once you get to the top helicopter in a tech tree, theres really no reason to keep playing helis. Its all the same. Point and shoot AGMs. Point and shoot AAMs. Wait around for targets to spawn. Theres no logistics. No recon. No strategic targets. No naval targets. There’s barely a risk for failing objectives. The game mode is just boring and monotonous.
