While I do realise it may be frustrating for a helicopter pilot being spawn killed right out the start of a battle, the ability for the helicopter itself to pre-fire the ground vehicles at start makes this a rather one-sided engagement as the ground vehicles will loose that space protection right before a helicopters ordinance will land.
The major problem is however the helicopter unlike Amy other vehicle can simply land, re-arm and rr-gain the invulnerability granted by spawn protection making nearly any counterplay impossible.
I want to hear your thoughts on the J-out spawn protection possibilities of the helicopters in higher tier SvS.
I for one cast my vote in getting rid of it as this is an option not available for any other vehicle/player.
