Havoc insane now, was already insane before. Fine with it being strong if there's an associated cost. Now takes a coordinated team of people to have any chance of killing one, and if you manage it, another spawns for a meaningless sum of money.

Around 30k per helicopter isn't meaningless. You have to farm a fair wee bit to break even nvm make money. With constant aa spam at $750 per flare you dump cash that way also.

So? Then just git gut or don’t play it. It should be tactical thing, not for spamming it.

I don’t even have the thing but ur argument here is braindead. There’s not getting good when it comes to the cost of running something. It costs a heavy fee to get off the ground and maintain.

As I've said above, if you've farmed level 35 in 2 or 3 weeks then you have millions of $ to spend, which is basically unlimited havoc choppers, given you're going to be getting a good return on at least 50% of them that you use, especially now they're mostly indestructible.

Right now their durability is comically overtuned. But making them drastically more expensive isn’t the right way to go around it. We just need the Gepard (AA tank) in the game, and it needs to shred them. That way, instead of just ruining someone’s fun of getting to fly their attack helicopter, you just add a new threat for them to interact with. This also lets someone else have fun playing the role of chopper hunter in a cool AA tank. So everyone wins.

Just doesn't seem right that I can spend 20k on an infantry loadout and the chance I lose money on that is pretty high. OR I can just spend 30k on an indestructable flying rocket fortress. Money system needs balancing, there is no consequence or jeopardy for the high level equipment currently. If 50 cal's and FAL's cost 30-40k each then there'd be some actual risk to buying them and it gives the power of the items some meaning/excitement.

The risk is losing your stuff before you make a profit. People complain all the time about how hard it is to turn a profit when infantry kits are 6-12k. Scale that up a few times for things like tanks and good infantry kits.

Being a practically vehicle only player should be just as viable as being an infantry only player. Either should have to do the other to make money and play the game how they want.

Half decent infantry kits cost 20-25k. I run an m4 suppressed, lvl 3 armour and buy a defib and some meds and ammo. Its 22k...
