The map isn't made with aircraft in mind. This being said, helicopters won't become a thing unless
S&B is released, and that's a big IF.
No, there won't be helicopters with the current engine we're using, and sure you could whitelist specific people who have experience flying aircraft in-game, but my statement stays the same, game just isn't made for aircraft.
Sounds cool'n all, but you've gotta think realistically.
I've flown a fuck ton of times in some of the WAC aircraft there is, and I'm more competent in flying helicopters than I am in planes, but that's with literally 0 ping, imagine a lagspike, you're fucked and you've probably killed your entire crew inside that helicopter + more on the ground.
120 ping is manageable but only just, and even then the best aircraft pack there is at the moment, being WAC, isn't bug free. Main rotors break on seemingly no-contact with anything or a player standing underneath the craft and away from the rotors, etc.
If you thought car drivers were bad on this server, I'm terrified to know what helicopter pilots will be like.
It doesn't matter what circumstances a helicopter is being deployed under, it's about ping, experience and map limitations.
None of those criterias are met at the moment, ping is a problem, people with experience flying aircraft with that type of control scheme is next to none, and map limitations is just another middle finger.
