Seriously... Noone will ever use helis to cap. Like you just experienced it is way to risky. All they do is buy a premium ka50 and kill tanks from who knows what distance wihout the risk of getting hit by aas or tanks. Helis make high-tier-matches almost unplayable. So when ever i see a ka50 i get back to the hangar with mostly 4 tanks and massive spawnpoints left.
Adding helicopters was a mistake. Allowing them to spawn with mouse controlled ordinance and Fire and forget missiles is a even bigger mistake. BR 8.7+ is so flaking annoying to play thanks to helis. That can sit far outside the combat zone and kill everyone. And we can't do much to stop them. And if you want helis to cap. Then remove there ability to spawn with mouse controlled ordinance and Fire and forget missiles at the start of the match. Like how it was when you added helis.
But that prob will never happen. Because then people wont buy all of these OP helis that allows them to sit far outside the combat zone.
