It is clear to everyone how much time you've spent thinking it through, presenting it and balancing it and I felt awful even disagreeing with it on that basis alone. It's not so much the damage it will do, it's primarily due to the fact it's flying.
Also, you're not even going to be able to get into certain areas of the maps if you're in a flying Mech, it'll cause chaos and force plants to retreat to shelter, and then you're going to see that crowded plant area flooded with Imp Punts, Barrels and Turbo Twisters, and of course not to mention ground Mechs.
As beautiful and nice as that Helicopter looks, I really can't see this helping or balancing this game in a positive way. That is ultimately the only reason I am disagreeing. I hope this helps, I really do hope you suggest other things though, the time and effort you've spent in thinking up this is refreshing to see.
Let's see what everyone else has to say, this of course is just my opinion 🙂
