Why the grinding of helicopter is SO long?

I started to play them seriously with France.
The HAD at 11.0 was quite playable and enjoyable because you can still manage to do something in GRB with rockets run or HOT missiles at this BR. Once you get the Hellfire it’s really ok.
But I remember making a good game with 5 ground kills and 1 air kill, to at the end, have less than 25% progression on a rank 3 modifications… This example show how EXTREMELY slow the grind of heli modifications is.

My question is : for what? Why is it so slow? It’s like you can unlock 2 or 3 other helicopters before having 3/4 of the modifications grinded.

And now I am on the HAC. Top tier, and you have to play with HOT missiles (4 kms range, 250 m/s) until rank 3 to have the Trigat missiles.
At this BR, rockets run are almost impossible/useless due to powerful SPAAs, strong MBTs, and you are vulnerable to many vehicules if you want to shoot rockets from an effective ranges.
And no need to explain the suffering of using HOT missiles at this BR.
In PVE, they are so slow that most of the targets will get destroyed before your missile reach it.

I play tanks and planes since severals years, and the grind of their modifications has nothing to do with the suffering I encounter with helis.

Any advice? Except giving up…? :)

idk
maybe because the Heli trees are small/high tier or smthin

PvE EC is unfortunately the best place to stock grind

  • You only need 300 score every 10 minutes for ideal Useful Action rewards, grabbing that score and staying alive is more valuable than flying around and having a Gepard spawn underneath you
  • Use Item Recycling, Warbond shop, Login Boosters and Assault Boosters if you happen to play that mode
  • You do sometimes find games where players are aware of the first point and aren’t dominated by Ka-50s farming like bots, sometimes only 4 player lobbies too
  • It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You’ll need to be patient and persistent.
  • Premium time helps
