How to stock grind the Mi-24P without going insane?

I bought the Mi-24P and played for about 12 hours with it. I still only have the exhaust mod and r60’s, how the hell do I actually grind mods? Am I doing something wrong? i grind with heli PVE and a bit of GRB. Is it supposed to be this painful? That would make sense, since toptier helicopters dish out a lot of suffering.
also somewhat related, why does all of the weapons stop working when it takes a single bullet to the fuselage? is that only for this helicopter? because I’ve hit Ka52’s with dm53 only for them to spray me with 30mm apds.

(yes, this is very much a cope post)

I found a solution, a month later, just play ground assault

Per “Dance of the Dragons” changelog:

It their “attempt” to integrate detailed damage model to helicopters which yet to receive their new modules (aka everyone except AH-64 family and Ka-52) by RNG based on how much your hull is damaged

It is, if you don’t want to pay your way through modifications you will have to suffer until you get them

wait, that’s what that was? so it just broke helicopters for everyone else? honestly this is good but why did they fix everything except the two helicopters that made me suffer?

While we are forced to play in the most boring mode that exists in this game to grind helicopters, that’s it. I made a post here on the forum to propose new modes for helicopters, but few responded. It’s either that or do what I do, play with helicopters at the beginning of GRB and go to the next one when you die. It’s not wonderful, but at least I think it’s better than this ridiculous PVE mode.

I found a solution, just play ground assault and kill AI. you get around 2.5k per game of rp. painful without AGM’s since the roof mg’s hurt and there is AA, and you’ll be competing with toptier sometimes. But i managed to grind the eurocopter this way and it was pretty much the only way
