definitly, believe me, i was from the time were i freaking farmed the UHT with the stupid MI 24 premium against KA 50s
It’s also about revisiting older, current in-game vehicles. There’s much to fix, from balance to FMs to ordnance etc.
I was trying to play PvP heli mode in AH64 -_-
if a plane is flying straight at me, i would rather take my chances with outer pylon dumb rockets instead of stingers.
Cursed be the lack of a chin cannon
Well, hopefully maybe then they will start actually working on several-year-old bug reports about nerfs, inaccuracies and mismodellings/outdated models, I guess.
Like Type 10’s broken steering (since 2021), the Abrams turret ring (since 2018), Merkava Mk.4’s armor (since 2022)…

At this point, I actually look forward more to potential fixes and improvements than vehicles on each patch note; but update after update I am disappointed, so… I’ve stopped setting up any expectations for that.
That’s also why I barely make any posts about it anymore. For years, I had hopes that drawing attention to these issues would lead to them being acknowledged and corrected.
However, I’ve come to realise that… lack of awareness was NEVER the issue. They openly acknowledge them, and refuse to fix them; be it because “it’s working as intended”, “it’s not needed”, or “it’s just not a priority”… so why bother at this point about trying to help make the game better when its creators won’t? Waste of time and energy.
EDIT: unexpected rant, guess I had to vent xD

I’m honestly not sure if the current helicopters pve is better than that old pvp. Same problems with inadequate balance/not enough decompression, but lower rewards.
They are both terrible for sure
The FnF helis just ruin the whole mode for non-FnF helis
A single AH-64E/Z-10ME/Mi-28NM can wipe every objective before any other heli gets in range and these FnF helis don’t even have to move
oh I remember the old days of getting stomped in my huey by a ka-50
It’s so hilarious
Yeah, was defiently unfair for the soviet players, which is why the gamemode was removed :P

Yeah, first came helicopters with AAMs, then Ka-50s. Although it’s not like Gaijin couldn’t make a separate room for helicopters with Vikhr for example, especially considering the amount of them.
Btw I also remember very rare rank V only rooms, they were awesome for AB 205A-1)

The Nordic tree having so many Coastal battleships will be so freaking cool
yesss I knew that I wasn’t hallucinating, I remember having some matches of only rank v very rare cases but quite refreshing, because the wave of KA-50s just going high just to start lobbing vikhrs destroying entire lobbies was abysmal
I honestly hope we get more <9.3 helis. That bracket is actually pretty fun sometimes, but since these helicopters generally aren’t popular outside of that mode we don’t see them added much.

What do you think about adding a saturation/submunition bomb like the CBU-87? (and their equivalents in other nations)
Firing at a good altitude, it can cover an area of approximately 200 x 400 meters. The BLU-97/B rounds can penetrate about 12 to 15 mm of steel, which is not a problem for an MBT but could allow for clearing a forest or a city where light artillery or AA are hiding.
Would be nice if all nations could have a heli with ATGMs below 9.0
Currently Japan and Israel don’t have that luxury
Italy and Japan honestly also should get a better starter heli. Their rocket-only Hueys are miserable

There is no way the game engine and the servers would be able to handle cluster bombs

gaijin has denied cluster munitions as a whole

Gimme BL755.
147 submunitions able to pen 250mm. Tornado can carry 12 of them.
But the servers would instantly commit suicide
(Also cant forget JP233 and MW-1)
