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.

With enough skill you can pull more kills than a plane.

agreed so much , its must looks like SEAD event and nuke thunder event
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
no
