Honestly it was rare and deserved by those who did it lol

I just want to confirm that I was only stating the fact that aircraft capturing zones are hard to pull off and that they work in only few situations but I could be wrong as I don’t play areas where helicopters are a common sighting.
The fact that it is hard to still pull off and only in some cases you can safely land is still there, so players should definitely get rewarded for it. You are right about that

I frequently cap points in a helicopter, but its extremely difficult since you’re a huge target for the enemy team (and your own stupid team mates)… I get TK’d about the same as the enemy gets me… so removing friendly fire ON the cap would also be nice.
There are a handful of maps where you can spawn and cap early, but it’s a silly change to remove this from planes… a harrier can land on the helipad, why not the cap?

The removal of this was rather dumb. Cause oddly enough if a pilot can pull this often, it ends up being a morale boost. Temporary or not. It helped encourage the tanks to better coordinate no matter how limited it is.
Now related but, I remember being the only fighter in the sky engaging every single aircraft coming into combat, which somehow managed to allow the team to have one of those ground-centric battles and made a massive difference. They focused on the ground and we won. So i feel like i was the reason why we won.

I approve of such a change, i remember maining cas almost entirely when i started playing ground battles in early last yr and one of my favorite pivotal moments a few times i was flying the ki61 and without stopping would decap a point as long as you did a touch and go on the point, and managed to turn the tide of those games by reducing the ticket drain burden and helping our team win.

Wait you can’t anymore? Since when? Why would they do that :(

I have found out if you land in the zone as a tank is capping it you get the reward for it too but a tank has to be there with you

Helis can still land on points to cap them (and I think they should also be allowed to since they’re super easy to shoot when landing on a cap)
I’d love to see this come back. It was always fun trying to touchdown on a point, and if you could take off again, even better. Friendly or enemy, I loved watching them try and be rewarded if they managed it
It just doesn’t make sense that planes had the ability to cap removed and helis didn’t when they’re both super hard to do, and don’t usually impact anymore than a light tank zooming between caps to decap them other than moral
Let us have fun, Gaijin, you take more than enough away already

100% on bringing this back. It is such a rare scenario there is no point having it out.
They could make it harder to land in dead zones that tanks can’t see by adding objects that would collide with the helicopters to stop them using them.
I know on urban maps there were zones they could land in that nobody could see them and the cap could not be flipped.
It Was a cool Feature, so yea, Please just bring it Back for Prop-Planes and Non Vtol Planes, just to make it more fun for Pilots to play these annoying Tank matches…

I don’t agree, because CAS is already the dominating force in combined arms/ground battles and playing tanks/SPAAs would become even less important.
+1.
It was a waste of time to remove this. +1

W for Swedish planes! +1
I thought I saw a Thundershow episode where someone carried the team by capping with helis?
The SPAAS will get more important since they now have a job of deleting harriers and YaK-38s off the D point.
Impressive landing!
