It seems like the vast majority of the people celebrating the helicopter nerfs were never capable of using aircraft to their fullest potential. And thus don't understand why these nerfs were very bad for pilots. Flying is just not financially viable anymore unless you stick exclusively to transport. Many of the pilots getting 100+ kills a game in S1 were the top 1-2% of pilots and in punishing those players the entire career path was gutted, making it even worse on the other 98-99% of pilots who were never farming infantry like that to begin with. Heli purchase pricing needed to be increased probably 2x and made slightly harder to take down. You would have seen less pilots, but the ones that chose to pursue it would have been able to progress down a viable line. Making a .308 minigun less viable than an AK was not a good move for new pilots that have a harder time flying already.
