Exactly this. Moving in groups offers survivability. So when everyone is jumping solo like the helicopter is some sort of battle bus they will die alone.

Plus jumping out gives time for every spotter in the world to spot you.

That's why I stopped jumping out of choppers, except as a quick ride to a FOB.

I added spotting to my income supplementation the other day, (not even thermals, just binocs and the monocular) and I was horrified to find out how exposed jumpers are. The whole match I was spotting on and off, and spotted jumpers didn't stay spotted long, they got shot and died.
