Well, knowing it’s heli we’re talking about, Gaijin’s not gonna do anything about it. I’d love to talk about the state of Hellfire vs Vikhr, but helicopters in general are just bad. Both in terms of the time and dedication you have to put in to grind one of these bastards—which cost a good chunk of RP (which should’ve been cut down by half at least)—and the fact that many of them lack FnF. It’s pretty much not worth playing them over CAS.
And for the helis that do have FnF, it’s not fun for ground vehicles either, since there’s no real way to tell if one’s been sent your way or not.

1- The only great 12.0 Soviets have.
2- Borderline worse than the T-80U due to notably less armor.
3- Average for its BR, it’s not 12.0.
4- Can’t frag CAS.
5- Not 12.0.
6- Not 12.0. Below average at top BR.
7- Not 12.0. Entirely useless at top BR, unless you genuinely bring Begleitpanzer in a 12.0 lineup.
8- Not 12.0, can’t frag CAS.
9- Helicopters are useless.
10 & 11- CAS is OP, F-15E, Rafale, Su-30, etc do exist, but they reduce the spawn points of enemies more.
So in reality, you listed 1 good top tank, and 2 average tanks for 12.0, and 1 average tank for 11.7.
France has 6 MBTs, 4 of which are M1A1 capable, and 2 are Leopard 2A5 capable, as well as 2 OP CAS the same amount as Soviets, of course CAS doesn’t win matches.
Germany has 4 MBTs all of which are 2A5 capable which are themselves superior to the T-80 series of tanks.
Sweden has 5 MBTs of 2A5 capability.
Italy has 1 MBT of 2A5 capability, and 3 DM53 backups [average for 12.0].
I know how and have a few times, it just feels like IOG drift is a bit much, because you need to be exposed like 5-10 seconds to guide it and if they know where you are thats plenty of time for pantsir and some other AAs to hit you before your missile hits
2 MBTs, a useless SPAA, a useless helicopter due to 9 tech trees having SPAA that deal with it, and OP CAS other tech trees have that can’t capture points for victory or get a higher frag to spawn points ratio than tanks…
Oh and mentioning Strela is pure nonsense, that’s like saying Stingers and Iglas are viable SPAA at top BR.
Also USSR has 5 capable tanks for the 12.0 lineup, not 2.
Vs 6 MBTs of France, 7 of USA, 5 of Germany, 4 of Italy [I’m not counting anything that doesn’t have DM53],
Nah u fine. For long ranges like 4-5km+ u gotta aim a little further so IOG will land closer to the target. Also depending on range if u peek a right about 10s guide till its 3-5s the IOG will still kill
T80u is still usable. Have seen many people playing it + this premium one
Agree its kinda trash
If it cant frag CAS then what about other countries that have literally 10x worse spaa
U also try to say every damn time that s1 cant kill cuz cas is untouchable. Thats ur opinion not a fact. When u play rafale only then it can be unkillable. captain obvious
Dude i have m1128 in my lineup tho 2s25 yes may be little sht but its not that bad. Not to mention bradley
Yea of course not. Cuz u havent seen it 😑
Strela is very good. Unflarable IR missiles that works great for nato CAS that must get closer to use its weapons
Yes kinda useless but fine replacement for s1 same as strela tho i would definitely say strela is better
Just cuz u are unable to play them doesnt mean they are useless
Is just miles better that doesnt require any skill to play than any other CAS + gets its ass covered by a fkn s1 almost all the time
U try everytime to dodge it by saying “not a 12.0” if it works great then its good jeez. What will u say about m1a2? Its not 12.0 so i cant count?
You still get the best lineup in the game with Kamovs,Pantsir, two jets able to vaporize the whole enemy team with, an army full of t80’s with unpenetrable hull and good speed. Damn you Russian mains love to complain when you guys live in a luxury.
honestly there are already maps where I prefer heli to fixed wing just because there are some nice spots for helis and fixed wing is constantly targeted by AA and CAP
