You're basically ****** now without a repairer on your wing - even then, you're ******.
I know! Basically as a heli pilot, you have to manage the following threat:
- AA Tanks
- Tanks/LAVs (driver and gunner damage)
- Other helicopters
- AA mines
- Jets
- Stingers/Iglas/Javelins/Other lock weapons
- RPGs/SMAW/SRAW
- Being sniped out of the pilot's seat
In turn, they intend to nerf the damage the 30mm cannons on the scout do to infantry. WTF is the scout heli going to be good for then? Taking out other scout helis and maybe doing 30 damage to LAVs/Tanks after 2-3 passes whilst waiting for your ammo to reload, whilst managing 50 million locks from across the map WITHOUT below radar!! FFS!! And I ain't even a chopper whore!
Add to this the absent buff to the Attack Heli, which has gone from one of the most desirable vehicles, to the biggest heap of shit in the game.
Screw this, if you need me I will be sniping on the edge of the map with my 40x scope. Oh, and if you try to come and kill me in a vehicle I can now C4 you!!

j2kboiz summed it up more briefly than I.
