I don't think helicopters or air strikes should be taken out completely, but I do think they should be limited, I came out of a server last night, the only time I have ever came out of a game before it actually finished, purely and simply, because ,I just couldn't get playing, from the minute I joined the game, I was being killed by helicopters and air strikes, on the spawning areas, and then if you managed to escape that, you where being picked off by the snipers( Ive nothing against snipers, they are all part of the game).
However, another thing that I don't understand, is why no points are awarded for shooting down a helicopter, I try to be a team player, and because of my age , my reactions are a bit slower than most of the younger players, and my eyes are not quite as good, so, I use the RPD, helps me even up my chances, therefore, if we are attacked by a helicopter, I will go forward, to try shooting it down, which I do most of the time, but although I'm saving my team mates, it does lead to me being killed more than if I just hid, and let it kill my team mates, we get points for shooting the opposition, so why not for shooting down a helicopter ?.
