Its an aircraft you can first spawn in. That is pretty cheap
Because lots of helicopters only had rockets. It would only be natural to assume the devs would have made some accommodation for em.
It absolutely should not
Back when Ka-50s didn’t have detailed damage modules they were absolute cancer to deal with.
Helirushing is a cancerous feature and most people are glad it isn’t a truly viable tactic
A suicider vehicle to be first spawned in is only cheap when it’s 50sp. e.g. Reserve tanks.
Oh No We should not ask for balance but call imba balanced under a balance thread
See BMPT
People can distinguish BMPT and bushmaster carriers yet not flying stuff?
Imo, i feel like heli’s should (at the very least) be something worth bringing without ATGM’s. Should it specifically be bum rushing with rockets? Not in the slightest. But with the small maps, Lack of proper gameplay and SP system. Heli’s are basically forced to kamikazi every single time.
So when it comes to making these heli’s not an oppressing force or a wet paper towel. What can we add?
Utility heli’s able to airdrop supplies or infantry? Heli specific capture points out of the ground battle?
Decompression
Its very cheap for an aircraft. It shouldnt get ground vehicle-level sp costs.
I really dont need some dude basically spawn camping and killing my maus before i can hardly get out of spawn at the start of a match. Not for something like 50sp and i cant even defend myself.
Just imagine helirush setups costing only 50 SP to spawn.
Game starts would be hectic to say the least.
300SP is an absolute throw
Anyone rocket rushing should get reported for griefing their own team
You’d get maybe a day or 2 of spam out of curiosity, before it drops off to current levels because of how unviable it is
Imagine needing to use the Maus as a counterpoint
Jesus
Just replace it with any tank that is not a fast.
Point is that the heli can rush in and take out tanks before they even have a chance at reaching any decent point on the map.
…which won’t do anything. Go back to stats if you don’t believe it.
Avg heli needs 3mins to enter the ground map or 4mins to enter from the side, and 5-6 mins to go from behind.
Fixed wings are being spawned lol.
yk team is a thing and should be a thing. Hard counter is also. Maus balancing difficulty is also.
Maybe also random 50cal dshk or even a mbt cannon. easy shot
Nope
If helis are able to do what you are saying, these stats won’t be this bad
Checking with the ah-1g. Fully stock flight mods with 76 ffar. Time to reach allied tank spawn point.
Eastern europe- 1:15
Finland- 1:15
Fields of normandy- 1:10
Sands of sinai- 1:20
Should be a thing, yes. Is it a thing, no.
Time to reach mid map for leos lol
Thought ground fwends disgusts press W and die
Stats said yes. Or more than yes.
If you want to make the argument that team work is alive and well in war thunder, uh…i guess that is a choice?
idk man they all crash by themselves not killed
how many tanks are there around 8.0 that don’t exceed 25kph, don’t have a roof MG or have a team around them
Point is that the heli can rush in and take out tanks before they even have a chance at reaching any decent point on the map.
Great
Show me you doing this
preferably with any consistency
