Helicopter Gameplay, the good, the bad, the ugly

I have an entire folder of full BS deaths recorded. Really sums up how terrible heli gameplay is.
Most of it is dying right after taking off, getting your weapons disabled from a single round, and clipping invisible hitboxes. You can literally get sniped by SPAA with obstacles in the way. AND you’re FORCED to have to get close to all the crap that can swat you out of the sky. Helicopters aren’t meant to fly in contested airspaces and areas filled with SPAA like they do in war thunder. Yeah, some helicopters are OP (KA-50) but those are a minority. The rest have to suffer with unguided weapons which are pretty much useless in most cases. What makes it even worse is that you have games that aren’t even vehicle-focused that do helicopter gameplay 100x better. Theres almost no variety when it comes to the things we can do with helicopters in war thunder.

I would say the FNF helis are far more Op than the Ka-50

@Stona_WT

Anyway to ask the devs why helis are just useless in game?
