Darn.. I read the post, therefore I must reply.
I will agree ( not that my approval, by any means, carries any weight ) to helicopters after all of the following conditions are satisfied:
Every aircraft that saw more combat than the helicopter has been included into the game, plus at least one rebuild for each new addition from now.
Every ground vehicle that served in a combat area more so than the helicopter has been introduced into the game.
Every geographical area where combat was experienced is represented by a practical and useful map.
Naval craft are expanded to include strategic importance and supply features.
Certain arenas contain comprehensive and manageable strat and supply systems that can be attacked, defended, and resupplied.
Skuzzy experiences a 3 month period where no threads need to be locked, no PNGs are necessary to be administered, and Microsoft releases an efficient OS to replace Vista.
Then.. and only after all those conditions are met, will I think that adding helicopters is something that needs to be done.
Amen.
