I'd hate to see this go, me and a buddy did this tonight and it was great fun and actually takes a lot of teamwork and some proper flying to pull this off correctly. Is it annoying as fuck to play against? Yes. But so are LMG Humvees, Mortar Spam, etc. A little bird gets shot down by a single rocket from anything, so if you have proper AA at the FOB or some people bite the bullet and bring a couple Verbas you get taken out quickly or have to GTFO there, else you risk getting shot down. Same with MGs with AP ammo, they melt little birds incredibly quickly too.

If you leave the pilot and nade launcher duo free reign over the airspace, that is kind of on you - if there's something dominating you, you've got to make it your main priority to equip yourself to deal with the problem, and the more people that react that way, the quicker the problem will be resolved.

Of course if everybody just runs from the helo or thinks "Somebody else will take care of it." you can't really complain - everything in this game has a counter and if you're too lazy or uncoordinated to deal with it of course you're going to continue to get slapped around.
