I would prefer to remove the forward helipad and gove them the option helipad or airfield.
With the airfield further back (they are too close anyway) and the helipad having no air defenses. So they can shorten their time to target, but at a risk.
I belive on some maps further helipads are so close to the airfield that there is no real difference between them.
But then ok, just keep it at the distance that no heli weaponary can hit the ground units right after starting.

Yes and at a range that a jet can intercept the helo or reach it just as it can start firing like how you can intercept bombers at the start.
What use is a jet fighter as a counter if it can’t get to the helicopter in time.

I think that there is another subject (PE-8/Lancaster) that on some maps (Karelia) can bomb enemy ground spawn at the time that tanks are just leaving it.
With helipads, airspawns should be rewkored as well or just simply removed.
Yeah airspawns shouldn’t exist. I know for floatplanes there needs to be a solution. But i thin disallowing them on landlocked maps is fine if they have no landing gear.

Wait when were we talking about air sim? First we were talking about ground sim, then you tried to shift the subject to ground rb, now you’re shifting to air sim? wtf?
We are because simulator is the gamemode, so all sim vehicles need to be playing by the same rules. So air s obviously counts as playing sim (hell it counts more than playing tanks which is just RB with a slightly different view, but my view on tanks in SB aren’t the subject of this thread).
So of course playing air sim matters.
We are talking about SB, which is trying to be a simulation. So does Air SB, so the same rules apply.
They also have the same audience in terms of mindset: simmers (at least they should, but again another story entirely)
You are desperate to make it look like i steer the conversation in a different direction
There is no point anymore to even consider that he wants any real discussion

By now i think he is just really impatient that he finds waiting 30 seconds for an engine is way too much.
Regardless of others having to do it as well.

There’s no helicopters in air sim moron. This entire post was helicopters.
Bro how did you beat your previous stupid comment record???
Hiw is that relevant?
I am not gauging wether you play helicopters, 3.7 ground sim wouldn’t do that either.
I am gauging if you are even interested in a sim as a concept or if you are of a shooter-mindset (which your problem with waiting 30 seconds indicates).
Are you even part of the sim Community is what interests me. A shooter player coming here to get ground RB+ with less potent planes isn’t rare. To judge if he is a shooter player abusing SB or not you usually check his air Activity. Since that is the only real place you can sim in war Thunder.
Also the jets do work the same in ground and air sim. So judging whether you can intercept a helo can be done in both as you can see the distance travelled…
Since the jets not being able to intercept in time being the main problem with the helicopter spawn with engines on, this is very reasonable.
You are trying sooo hard, at this point it comes off as insecure.

Because this topic is about helicopters. Holy hell you’re stupid.
go back to reddit bruh. If you saw his previous record then you would be impressed
It’s also about sim… So the sim angle is important.
As i stated i wanted to qualify whether you are part of the simmers. You are not.
Your views belong strictly in AB/RB.
As you are not interested in any sort of flight sim. Helicopters or planes. Stick to your shooter, it’s fine.
Now you are just rambling. What’s got reddit to do with anything?
No this whole discussion was about sim helicopters, until you started to derail it.
Actually you’re the one not qualified. Why? cause your points are stupid and cause I say so.
nope. My views are specifically for sim.
If you’re not interested in a shooter then stop playing Warthunder. If you think Gajin plans on making sim an actual simulator then you clearly have 0 idea how a business works.
It’s not a shooter for aircraft though…
Not every simnneeds to be super high fidelity. It does simulate flight, therefore it is a flight sim.
But thanks for proving my point

I guess minecraft is also a flight sim bc it simulates flight with elytra. Thanks for proving my point.
Remove the forward bases for helicopters - such a simple solution, suggested so many times, yet still not implemented.
Helis should spawn 10+km from battle area and fixed-wing aircraft should spawn at airbase 20km+ from battle area. The rear heli base should be defended by short range AAA like Shilka/Vulcan with lethal skill, so fighters cannot strafe helis on the ground.
Recently they made opposite change and actually moved the airbases in tank SB maps CLOSER to the game area… another stupid change driven by RB crowd.
