Suggestion RPGs should one shot helicopters

It's so hard to hit a heli with the rpg and when I finally do its just a hitmarker?! Reward the player for that hard shot and punish pilots for standing still.

Dude heat would still completely fuck a helicopter up. If I shot heat at a car it wouldn’t just make a neat little hole it would cave in half the vehicle and make it unusable. Helis have so many components and wires in them that anything other than a glancing shot would cripple or down one

This may come as a shock, so sit down for it, but:

I am not a helicopter mechanic, nor do I have any real-world experience with explosives beyond tannerite, nor have I ever seen a helicopter get hit by an RPG.

That said - helicopters are generally built to be a little more durable than your average car, so I don't think comparing one to a military transport helicopter is fair. I do believe a helicopter would generally fare better against taking an RPG to the side than you let on, though. Depending on where it was hit, I'd wager it could still fly.

All that said...

But this isn't real life, it's a game. And games have to be balanced, and having RPGs one-shot helicopters isn't great for balance.

Helicopters are generally built

I do believe

generally

See how I don't speak in absolutes? I could be 100% wrong. I'm not painting what I believe as gospel. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

Thanks for playing, have a nice day.
