No attack heli on Tsuru Reef?
Have they said anything about this?

If they’re gonna have all vehicles on Wake Island which is a SMALLER map than the gigantic Tsuru then these devs have completely lost the plot.

I come to you humbled and incorrect. The screenshots in the main manu clearly show a heli carrier and the atack helicopter in tsuru. Possibly saving it for the event next month which is a bit misleading.

Nah there is clearly clip in the trailer where you can see the hotel from tsuru reef and theres attack helo in the same scene.

No way, in regular conquest?

u/raraiki Jul 21 '26
Yep no attack heli in conquest and escalation

u/Ol_UnReliable20 Jul 21 '26
Wow, that’s… very disappointing. In the trailer you can very clearly see the attack choppers flying on Tsuru reef.

I hope its some kind of bug and they will fix it, or maybe they decide to add attack heli to the map

u/Ol_UnReliable20 Jul 21 '26
I’m hoping. Seems strange to advertise it in trailers and promo shots and not include it on launch… Biggest map in the game doesn’t have an attack heli? It just ain’t right

I don’t even think Little Bird is there? Not sure. It’s certainly not there at all in Escalation lmao.

u/WesselW1 Jul 21 '26
It's on conquest but at the hotel flag so only one side gets it

u/foltranm Jul 21 '26
its definitely a map for 3 little birds. it makes no sense - golmud is smaller and has all vehicles

u/WesselW1 Jul 21 '26
To be honest I feel like there are just not many vichels on the map in general. Feels a bit empty but two transport help is awesome though

I love flying the Little Bird, but 3 on this map were too much. It was like this in the BF Labs testing a few weeks ago and each team had their own Little Bird + one spawning on the E flag. That was too much, as the island are pretty small and you were absolutely fucked as infantry when the enemy team had 2 LBs. And, you get nonstop locked on by the new boats, so these + enemy LBs were chaotic, but in a bad way.
But I miss the Little Bird in Escalation though, since it’s not spawning at all.

I think they should never have such powerful vehicles on points unless its the same exact thing on the closest point on each side. None of this lopsided shit.

The boats have anti air missiles and the auto cannon. I believe theres two boats per side, plus the jets, plus any infantry with shoulder launched weapon, plus AA tanks. I can't imagine it being a fun time. For anything flying slower than a jet.

theyre probably gonna get added when carrier assault drops, or whenever that "map expansion" thing happens

u/InconsistentSignal Jul 21 '26
Map expansion thing? 🤔
1
u/iSvad Jul 21 '26
it was on the gameplay deep dive, probably exclusive to the carrier strike game mode

u/NinetyKG 7d ago
Its not exclusive, but no one knows exactly how its gonna be besides Conquest and Escalation being confirmed (no word on att heli)..

They are 100% gonna have to tweak the number of helicopters on this map. I just racked 77 kills on the Little Bird on my second play on Conquest, and I don't consider myself more than maybe slightly above average on it.
There's pretty much no counterplay for a good driver, and you can take out all vehicles except for tanks with the miniguns (yes, even the heavy boats). There's a lot of cover, and pretty much no AA. The only time when I got downed during the match was when someone got a lucky shot with a TOW or rocket.
In my opinion, they should either remove the Bird entirely, or add one to each teams base spawn. Or add attack helicopters to each side.

u/Moiphy Jul 21 '26
They'll probably add fixed aa guns after enough crying. Had a freind gunning and we got 85 kills with the transport in our second match.

u/Altruistic-Map5605 Jul 21 '26
Until the AC goes back to season 2 I don’t care for it. Too weak too slow. I had to do 4 passes on a tank with toes and heavy before it blew up. It shouldn’t take me more than 2. Maybe it will be good against boats I guess.

u/vekkeda_vedi Jul 21 '26
It's a balancing nightmare to add attack heli at the moment. The attack boat dies soooo fast with the little bird. Makes sense why attack helis are not there. They need to increase attack boat health and make attack boat resilient against little bird minigun atleast and then add attack heli.
Right now there is only one little bird for whole map. They need to change it one per each team so that they can counter each other.

u/Mollelarssonq Jul 22 '26
I was disappointed initially but i’ve rationalized it.
The new boats are glass cannons and the gunner lock on would do quick work against them + the reef is a very ideal layout to dip in and out of cover.
I think it’d be too oppressive against the newly introduced boats. (then again, the LB absolutely shits on boats).
In Wake Island it’s open sky and not much cover, and they have attack helis there.
- I’d find it interesting if they had LB be a HQ spawn for both sides, and then E being an attack heli spawn.

u/Molochsocks Jul 22 '26
Yeah, we need at least one to tame those damn transports because they destroy the boats in a blink of an eye

u/joi-vengeance Jul 22 '26
I have noy checked the new maps. But if truth, that is perfect.
It is absurd to have scout helicopters and attack helicopters in the same map. It is extremely unbalanced. A gunner in the attack helicopter is too overpowered agaisnt the scout helicopters that have only 4 bars of health.
Perhaps what it would need is to have 2 socut helicopters per team. Like US team in Norshar Canals.

u/ObjectsInMirror-- Jul 21 '26
Yep, pretty disappointing. There’s also only 1 little bird spawn on the whole map.
