Drop from the sky. Thats their next step.
I’m probably gonna get flak here but, man I wanna bring my helis into NF but only the navalized ones with their current AGM’s & the addition of lightweight torpedoes.
Just the thought of spawning off a ship & flying a to point where in that I ambush a another ship with a heli armed with Mk. 46 torpedoes lol or to fight FAC’s with AGM’s.
There’s at least five helis that are in game that could be used in this role & the addition of seperate BR’s now, we could easily see them.
That & get the Aviation Tender/ Minelayer Drache to have its Flettner Fl 282 for the lolz of a WWII heli.

Older helicopters that could actually be fun, e.g AH-56
You’re not gonna get flak for it bro, like 7 people play naval

Only problem with this is the slant range on most ship air defenses is greater than the effective range of the seeker on the lightweight torpedo designed to fight subs.
Now the Penguin……
FnF AGMs for all nations is the clear next step.
I’d like to see it along with airplanes but I fear they’ll botch the implementation yet again.

For USSR we could get the LMUR missile. It can be used on the Mi-28NM and KA-52M (when added). Its fire and forget, has as 14.5km range, speed of 230mps and has a 25kg HE war-head.
Semi-related: hopefully there is a step for M197 equipped helicopters (AH-1Z and AH-1W) to receive the PGU-28A/B SAPHEI Belt

fade into obscurity most likely, they’re already mostly irrelevant sans the occasional ground crawler raging a rocket Ka-50 got 1 kill in 10 games.
If they gave OH helicopters a scouting mechanic and fixed the 58’s MMS I bet we would see more helicopters
Nobody is grinding a Kiowa for passive gameplay that can done with a scout drone
Of course not. Because they were never given the mechanic that was their primary job on the battlefield.
They should function like a light tank though. That was their entire purpose, and why they aren’t AH-58’s
If heli scouting functioned as light tank scouting it would actually be good, and that’s why I don’t see it being implemented that way
I’ve always wanted heli scouting though, mostly as an excuse to add the OH-1 Ninja.

There really isn’t a good reason not to add the mechanic. Just need more call for it.
Same with EW and recon airplanes.
