Soma you do realize that maps having larger and more prominent cover (like large buildings) is what makes Helios even more difficult to deal with right?
The wide open maps are the ones I have to constantly bail on and run away while piloting because theres no buildings or hills to duck behind to avoid locks and direct fire.
Helios were fine - people just dont want to adjust playstyle to address them.
I guarantee most people complaining have never spawned an AA tank or equipped an AA missile.
Tell you what, if they made AA more avoidable, then made the SOFLAM lock unbreakable just at shorter range, say 150m that would change the game up, and require co-operation to deal with Helicopters, but also reward good piloting.
