Why the Super Hind is a flying fortress of doom

Question

Hello,I hope you are doing well. I am trying to bring attention to how strong and over powered the Super Hind (Russian Transport Helicopter) is.&nbsp;The Super Hind has way too much health - when you compare it to past titles, it takes a lot of rockets to bring it down. It's impossible to fight it in an attack helicopter. Why should an attack vehicle be weaker than a transport chopper?&nbsp;Currently, people don't use it to transport people... Some will man it with 2 repair tools and 2-3 consistent gunners and absolutely wreck everything.There's minimal counter play unless the stars align and your teammates all focus it; and on most maps there's 2 transport choppers, and only 1&nbsp; attack chopper/jet.&nbsp;It takes like 5 rockets to destroy and similar to the Osprey it can just dip out of most situations.&nbsp;tl;dr - I think the best way to balance the Super Hind is by nerfing its health by a lot.

@h3mporer I’ve been a beast flying it, before the last nerf anyways. I would and could take on jets and win all the time. I watched a Hind splash a stealth choppie last night. The biggest drawback to flying them is actually the lack of points for doing it. The wrencher in back gets a better score than the pilot flying their rear end off. I’ve gone entire rounds without dying, I know I can absorb at least 3 rocket hits while I run away to heal and come back. More if its TV missiles. It is 100% OP, but at least it’s not the infantry farmer it was. A health nerf is needed for sure.

@h3mporer I think the HIND resembles the real life counterpart, which role is a gun ship with limited transport capabilities. And the Osprey was balanced to the offensive capabilities of the HIND.
In my opinion the HIND should be replaced by a HIP, and then the transport helicopters don't need their main weaponry anymore.
The HIND would then move to the attack helicopters.
The problem is, that a HIP looks boring, the HIND looks dangerous ...

@ATFGunr I belive all anti infantry weapons of all air transport vehicles (Hind, Condor, etc.) to be removed and they should be equipped to anti air guns for defending (with slow fire rate). Their function is troop heliborne and just need some sort of self defense. This is the best balance for this class of air vehicles.

@h3mporer I mean i agree, but that's again teamwork. BUT, it never should float freely and fearlessly around like it does now. Attack heli should be absolute lethal to it. Jets are only way.
