Yeah and to your point most air mains aren't even good in the air.
My lads are an air squad but we're nasty on the ground too, we gettin tons of wins in Redsec, we always topping the leaderboards in matches, but we just love being in the air its fun. You can easily meta-abuse and 2-5x a choppers overall score with some SMG cross-map no-recoil playstyle.
Air superiority is a beautiful thing in battlefield and it calls for a wicked battle between both sides air forces to retain it for your team. For immersions sake, In an actual battle, if an apache pulled up that ought to be a bit frightening no? They are powerful and dangerous vehicles
In BF6 an apache pulls up, it's flying 10 feet off the ground cause it's gonna get 12 stingers thrown at it or a bradley or AA, and I end up blowing 90% of the apaches I see with an RPG cause they are so close to the ground because they can't get more than 10 feet off the ground without getting instantly killed 😂
You know what lets just take off the propellers and make it so they can just drive on the ground, problem solved
