Helicopters are dominating in Breakthrough
A good pilot, is virtually impossible to take down. Infinite flares on rechard just results in the helicopter flying off and waiting for cooldown. You've gotta add some sort of attrition to these ch...

@AJ_Clickz Bruh everyday you are writing here that helis are OP, they are not if you know how to counter them, learn the game.
the only problem is bad asymmetry between attackers and defenders
when one side has to have helis, the other better have lots of wildcats possible.
- @AfRo_HoRmEr you can't counter a hind without at least two other people if the pilot is decent and he has someone repairing
On conquest the players spread out, if a chopper gets damaged theres a good chance it will run into some random guy with an AA launcher or a wildcat while trying to get safe. But on Breakthrough the players are concentrated in a tiny area, the choppers can always fly into their own spawn or off the map where theres zero risk of a random AA guy.
- @Pantleon On Conquest it's much easier for choppers to go from point to point farming players since the action is so spread out and you only find a couple of players on a point at a time anyways. In BT the action is much more focused and at least back in the old 128 player version you have have folks on or around the objective prepared to shoot them out of the sky.

good point. what i wrote in my previous post specifically refers to breakthrough
This is also a consequence of the shared jet and heli slots. There is no dedicated aircraft killer always available.
There is no bigger threat to a helicopter than a 30mm GAU rotary cannon.
If you remove the peregrine falcon from the ecosystem, you will have overpopulating pigeons covering your buildings with their excrement.

It'd for sure be handy if jets had their own category. Sure, some players would take the AGMs (I know I'm bad for that), but I theory It'd mean helis had a threat to worry about.
