People are scarred by the KA-50/52. They’ll call this heresy and say “Helis are still OP!”
That’s due to them having a radar… something some of these helicopters don’t have…
Do we have refresh datas to compare the current kd of mi28nm/ah-64e/tiger helicopters ?
Title basically says it all, I’m quite confused because NATO Helis at top tier are completely useless, while Russian helis like the KA-50 and 52 at top tier are as overly dangerous as other CAS.
Meanwhile, at mid tier 8.0-10.0 the only helis I ever see are Alouette and rarely the Z-11, while Russian helis are literally unusable due to slow speeds and poor munitions.
On top of this, the higher spawn and distance needed to travel make them less desirable to use over a plane, unless you have lock on munitions, and then all you do is sit in spawn and launch missiles.
Again I very rarely, if ever see them in any ground matches. What is the point of helicopters?

I’ll be honest… Helicopters were a mistake. They are seemingly impossible to balance. Either they’re unusable. Or they’re broken as hell. There is nearly no inbetween.

fix heli PVE bro.
I just play aircraft, I can’t care no more about tanks and landlobbers and helis have been reduced to CAS in tank battles.
A dedicated gamemode with more depth is what they need.
I found a suggestion draft about adding logistic works to heli pve, big fan of it.

With enough skill you can pull more kills than a plane.
(Except rocket rush)

But to be honest, The Ka-52 and Ka-50 are not overperforming. And helicopters are here so cucks like vikhr_thrower can kill everyone (jk vikhr)
Just the Ka-50 mainly and 52 are played often, and if you look at global 50’s stats, they aren’t great.
Ka-52 performing better in K/D and K/S but only top 8 for both of it.
Only their winrates are higher (bmpt residue idk)
what you should say is, what’s the point of helicopters when there is better CAS option and it get suppressed by everything on the battlefield. The best option is out right ban CAS for ground RB and only let Helicopter CAS in. But that is just stupid and create other problem and yes you are right about it being useless when other CAS option exist. The only logical reason for it is to provide to less sweaty player a easier CAS option to play with compare to plane CAS

bc they were nerfed hard at some point. I do remember when in every round there was a few ka-50 on unguided and later it was endless Vikhr spam (when ATGMS had insane accuracy)
I smell cold war GRB and naval.
As if bro likes another CoD
True, vikhrs were made worse, lbr time mechanica was added, missile fuze deactivation, penetration nerfed, speed nerfed, weight nerfed. Both platforms overall were nerfed, heavier, less gun ammo, no S-13DF etc etc
Rockets can do quite a lot if you bother to aim at all, unless it’s the small chinese rockets, those struggle to deal with anything.

Rockets rn are only good for IR distractions right now, and maybe rocket artillery
Ka-50 is no where close to dangerous.
Ka-52 isn’t notably harmful either when it’s dealt with using ITO-90M or ADATS playing decently.
Most helicopters are balanced, such as Ka-52 when all it had to face was 10 & 12km SPAA, and HKP3C in Sweden where it’s facing 2km SPAA.

I think generally, you missed the point of the post I was trying to make.
