D'85: Helicopters..the final verdict!

[HirooOnoda]

Guilty. Get rid of them. The way they are handled in the game, D'85, leads to what I consider "ahistorical" play.

I can see leaving in the airmobile troops, but the strike helicopters just don't work in the game.

I spend the majority of my efforts worry about them and deploying my troops in "anti-helicopter" formations designed to trap a handful of these units.

And the D'85 update, while superior to the previous versions of MC, still find these units, especially the American units, dominating the game. :hissy:

If history shows us anything, and the one major fight that the one American Air Cav unit had against a Republican Guard unit in 2003, helicopters are overrated in combat.


By all means, include helicopters as a very effective air-strike, especially at night, but I for one could do without them.

Just my 2 cents.
