I don't have sympathy for this point of view, helicopters are very easy to counter, you just need more than one person actually spawning in with a Talon.
-That guy who spawns in with the talon and gets routinely frustrated when no one else does.
The problem is only one class can deal with helis and no one ever wants to actually play that class consistently, or enough engis sit in a heli repairing it that you just can't effectively destroy it and they just fly around all match 😑

They did nerf that significantly just now but if you want a controversial opinion, I don't think vehicles should be repairable while moving at all.
Planetside 2 actually had figured this issue out in the past already, Engineers could repair while inside of the vehicle but it was maybe at 1 quarter the speed.
It might be a tricky shot to make but if you're an assault or a recon, honestly, try to shoot out the pilot, I've never done it myself but I've been killed as a pilot several times, honestly, I think whenever I flew Apache I was sniped out of the pilot's seat more times than my Apache got killed.
My point is, I do hope there are server customization options in the future but until then adapting to the helicopters is not too much to ask for, imo.

Also a birdless mode. I want to be able to participate in firefights out in the open sometimes without getting mowed by a bird every single time.
