I just got the AH-64E today havent played a match in it yet though but Ive played alot of 64D and that was painful even before the new Broken SPAA Pantsir got added.
Im thinking of GE’ing the hellfires and JAGM’s so it is bearable to play.
Besides the Missiles I think I will GE the NVD and MAW and some of the mobility upgrades to get to the next mod rank.
Is GE’ing the mods a good idea and should I wait for the Spring sale so the mods are 50% off for GE?
By then I might have some of the mods researched so should I?
All helicopter grinds seem pretty painful cuz of such a high rp cost per modification and they’re all pretty useless stock, as well as helicopter pve being mundane as hell. The new pansir is cooked, so I’d pretty much avoid playing helis unless u get Russia on ur team
It’s pretty painful tbh, just use the terrain to your advantage, target targets that do not move and don’t get cocky.
But do I ge the mods?
👆 Up
neither better nor worse than any other helicopter
GE’ing the mods to get JAGM IRs is still around 3,280GE (or 1,640), depends if Helis are still worth that or whether the highly needed and very balanced Pantsir will just shoot all of your munitions down
To be honest, every helicopter gaming is struggling without good weaponry, this will apply to any helicopter that relies on guided missiles. I personally recommend you getting all or at least the most important modifications in regular helicopter battles then moving to ground battles if you feel like so. More versatile helicopters like the Ka-52 that can carry bombs will be easier to get its modules since you can get a base per few minutes without much effort just hovering around.
The helicopter PVE mode is only good if you got boosters going. If you dont have any, its better to play Ground Assault PVE which usually gives ~7k RP in ~20min (You just need a somewhat competent team to win)
I already GEed had 5k now have 1800
