Helicopters buggy+need buff

the helicopters are downright confusing so far

the "assist" completely changes the controls and makes it super hard to control when turned off. also, everyone has a missile launcher and the helicopters can do nothing about them except some puny flares every 20 seconds. I quite like the new controls if not a bug that where my character looks is where the missiles shoot and then the helicopter turns, however I just think they need a buff as I die in the first 10 seconds of driving one and I love the helicopters so it makes me very sad., also sometimes there is a bug when in 3rd person the helicopter hud thing is completely offset and causes the helicopter to turn when not wanted. I hope we get more helicopters in the full game and that they are fixed. I just hate the missile launchers, would be better without them
