Why are Helicopter RP designed much more than the RP for a plane/tank of the same tier?

Trying to put things under attention.

For comparison,
Rank 5 Mi8TV have a 190% RP multiplier at 8.3. It requires 150k RP
Rank 5 T44-100 / Mig9 have 190% RP multipliers at 7.0/7.3. Both require 95k RP

Rank 6 Mi24V have a 208% RP multiplier at 9.7. It requires 360k RP
Rank 6 BMP2 / Yak30D have 208% RP multipliers at 8.7. Both require 135k RP

Rank 7 Mi28 have a 232% RP multiplier at 11.0. It requires 400k RP
Rank 7 2s25M / Mig21SMT have 232% RP multipliers at 10.0/10.3. Both require 260k RP

A regularity is kept with planes, tanks, and even ships (not listed, but the same). Why is it not applied to heli?

And its not like they are extremely powerful and need to be gate kept for balance, most of them are actually incredibly weak and are food for fighters and spaa. You need to be way more skilled to perform well in a heli compared to fixed wing cas especially at top tier but you need to spend 10x more time to grind the helis…

They simply want to prolong the grind, it is a huge win that we can research helicopters with tanks now, although premium valkyries became kinda pointless.
Btw I actually have more issues with modifications RP requirements, getting from stock is a painful experience especially on helies which don’t get missiles stock for some reason.

I just got both the gazelles in the French tech tree and the only real difference between them is additional 2 hot atgms that’s it 400k for 2 more mid missiles at 9.7 and i been grinding helicopters with the VBCI-2 and premium account I drop a nuke and get a measley 20k rp this games progression is a joke
