So this happened while I was playing in a Nighbird. Was chasing low HP super Hokum, almost got a full house kill when....it flew into a building... I hit record as soon as I saw that. It stayed there for a little while, repaired, then flew from one building to another in front of me. Then got out and proceeded to kill me because transport helis are very balanced.
Your video does not show the Hokum flying into a building - i.e. everything in the video seems perfectly normal. Your description, obviously, suggests something else.
However, I've personally noticed multiple helos ramming into buildings and taking limited damage that would obliterate a helo in real life. This should probably be addressed at some point.

Hi @UP_LordPlumber ,
Per @DarthFDG comments above, maybe you posted a wrong recording from your gaming platform, as all we see in this video clip is a plumber in a Nightbird getting fried badly by an enemy attack heli with a collaborating onboard team of pilot+gunners that shoots you down? All looks pretty casual and normal for what we see of action and flight paths in this video clip.
Please also note that I think the enemy heli in your video is the Super Hind and not the Super Hokum.
But granted, both these attack helis do at times appear to be overpowered in terms of not taking damage despite exposed to serious enemy fire. Aka also the AA we have do at times not appear to inflict much damage on them and they keep flying around as nothing had hit them, despite maybe 3-4 consecutive perfect hits on their body.
I see a helicoper parked on the ground between two buildings. You have to really zoom in on the picture to see it next to the tall white building.
I also see a gray empty helicoper icon on the minimap. It appears the pilot landed between two building, got out of the helicopter, repaired the helicopter with a repair tool, then got back in and took off.
But shortly after that I do see the helicopter fly into a building.
I'm not sure what to think. On the one hand we have the helicopter landing on the ground between two buildings. On the other hand we have it flying through buildings.
Looks like DICE netcode magic to me.
Apparently there's no collision detection for those two building then. An easy test would be trying to fly through them.
In Kaleidoscope you can fall into the elevator shaft and get stuck in there if you jump out of an aircraft near the outer wall on the side where there are elevators on the skyscrapers. You then end up at the bottom of the shaft immune to damage, but there are a few holes you can shoot thru.

Yeah that would be a quick test to try out.
I honestly thought it just was one of the buildings with the passages through at ground level, but if that is not the case, then of course there is a bug in the map design solids.
So does that look "normal" to everyone?
