Helicopter research are very painful, even if ground vehicle can research it now. But what is more painful is to research helicopter’s accessories. The research point for each kill in helicopter is way too little. So many people choose helicopter battle. But the problem is, the SPAA in battle are so powerful, the gepard vaporize you within a second and there are too many of them in each respawn (5-6, I only got 4 tows lol). For most of the helicopter (low br or high br), the stock accessories doesn’t have long range missile, for example, the reason why I wrote this blog is because I was trying to research accessories for my stock AH1W, and it only gets 4 tows that can shoot 3.75km. Not to say there many lower br heli which has missile in a shorter range. 3.75km is indeed a range that you can avoid the gepard but the probably is the map, many map has very complex terrain and it’s impossible to get at the edge of 3.75km. So, what will happen is your heli will can killed instantaneously. And that’s not the only problem. The problem is the earning for heli research is so little. I play 40 mins, get 1500 points, and I only get 8000 research points. I mean Gaijin you serious. Not mention there are bunch of premium heli in the battle for god only knows why they’re here. I do hope Gaijin rather shorten the range of these SPAA AI, or just delete them, or increase the research points for each kill. I played this game for 3 years, 2600 hours, and I only have one helicopter with full accessories researched (The Z10 because it gots long range missile in the first place). I hope gaijin could fix this. And welcome people to comment in this blog.

Researching modifications for your helis in Heli PvE would be so much easier if the gamemode wasn’t so flooded with decked out premiums like Ka-50 which just absolutely own the battlefield and leave you nothing to kill.
If it werent arcade (which is the lowest rewarding mode in the game) then it wouldnt be as bad.

It wouldn’t be as painful if it weren’t for gepards sniping me out the sky.
