It is 100% worthy of them to invest in. More than any infantry mode, imo. I’m speaking negatively about helicopter PvE and (current) reliance of ground mode for helicopters in its current state. I’m all for them improving it and making it worthwhile.
We got to see the glory years, indeed. Though, I’m 36, so I won’t act like I was an adult during the 90s, lol. Sega Mega Drive, PS1, etc, were my consoles as a kid.
Hah, I’m 51, and adamantly refuse to become an adult anytime soon!
But really, we’ve lived through the whole advent of computer gaming and flight simming. First time my uncle let me try out the very first Microsoft Flight Simulator was with those very simple line drawings on a monochrome monitor, now I fly over the whole world in an immersive home cockpit with VR goggles, with every house and trail where it is in real life…
I really hope the game director takes another look at the state of helicopter gameplay. At this point I only grind helicopters so that in the unlikely event that the gameplay is improved, I already have everything and can help other players grind. Hell, I even got a HOTAS and TRACKIR specifically for helicopters.
Oh, actually I lie: Completely forgot: That uncle was an IT specialist at the Swissair Training Center, and I could as schoolboy a few time even go fly in DC-9 and DC-10 full motion sims! Wow, those were times…
Do NOT get a VR headset! (wink, wink)
You’ll never want to fly anything else once you tried…
That’s what I’ve heard. I almost got one because of all the Bruce Leeroy videos on YouTube but I remembered that he had to have been using a VR headset for years to get as good as he is.
It only took me about a month to fly similar to him, it just takes practice, but I was full HOTAS long before I got VR. Probably 3-4 years so mileage may vary.
