If your tactic in sim is to hover over the helipad you deserve to die quickly…
First you hunt the other helicopters, then planes (if you can), then hit the spaa from an unexpected location, try to cap on the rare map where it is viable or just decap, scout for your team, kill tanks, rearm, repeat.
I regularly do all these in ground sim in all three heli rotations and live the entire match, often getting the most points.
If I die in the first few minutes it’s my usually fault…
Its not worth playing a helicopter in RB… unless you want to just be a flying chinese SPAA for battle tasks…
You die far too quickly for it to be worth the spawn…
Gajiin don’t have a clue about helicopters, so there is no solution…They’re perceived to be totally OP and facts won’t change that… just another addition to the game with no real consideration :(
I have already made a suggestion post regarding the addition of adding helicopters to SB EC. They do not belong in SB EC until they fix sim. The objectives need re worked, there’s still no dopplar shift, the airfield defense is absolute garbage, the BRs for Heli’s in sim mode would also need to be re-done, so a BR decompression for Heli’s to match Vietnam era with Vietnam and modern with modern era. Just to name a few of the bigger problem’s.
Until these are addressed by Gaijin and sim is improved over all, helicopters do not need to be added to SB EC.
Players have no idea what they are asking for in the current state of sim.
I would love to se helis in air sim, they just need new BRs, uh1 should be right aboht where the phantom is, the mi8 should be where the mig 21 is… and so on.
So it would be pretty safe to make it +2BR for every heli.
