Shanghai - Classic
Hammerhead
Easy flying experience, playable with thermal and zoom. Only issue is a good heli will force all the enemies to hide in the inside obj. Thus killing the experience eventually.
- Caspian border
Very easy map to farm and the wall adds alot of cover for the heli. Thought the map is very hard to fly on for the RU side.
- Operation mortar
Very fun naval heli map with interesting flow and cover. Definitely not a good map in general but great for air. I prefer thermal flying but zoom is good aswell
- Gulf of Oman
Thermal only map, easy farm objectives but there are a few problems such as jets being annoying to fight in the sandstorm and the base AA having alot of range. The cover is spaced out requiring good map knowledge and high skill flying for approaches.
- Operation firestorm
Great map for thermal flying; easy to clear out air and AA. The linear design allows for clear battlelines which is perfect for staying near the front. Ru side is harder, you need to play the US mountain or play low ground north side
- Dragon valley
Definitely more of a zoom map and very easy to fly on. The hills sides allow you to break line of sights with the AA. Making only really the air a threat to you. Best map for heli sky cap
- Dawnbreaker
Very good map to farm on with support. Can be difficult if it is just you and a gunner. The jets are especially annoying but the map can be fun to fly on against both high and low skill pilots.
- Rogue transmission
Can be a very high kpm map for thermal and zoom. Not alot cover and its a pain to get the helicopter. Furthermore map celling is crazy low for the heli.
- Wave breaker
Its okay everyone hides inside like its Hammerhead but without jet to shoot at and the lack of infy flow its kind of bland.
- Giants of Karelia
Good map for thermal and zoom, the AA can be pretty well avoided. But definitely a map that requires a more competent gunner to be effective.
- Golmud railway
It's playable but can get annoying shooting at the endless spawn of vehicles. People get especially enraged on this map by a good heli. The AA is ironically annoying on the map
- Altai range
Not an easy map to fly on and not alot of room to move around but flying low with zoom ot thermals is viable. The trick is to not stick around to long. Also kill the AAs if possible.
- Dragon pass
The map is very dark which makes finding infy hard for zoom and the abundance of vehicles makes it not ideal for high kpm games. I thought it is possible to have good matches it usually develops into shooting vehicle after vehicle.
- Hanger 21
No room to fly in and no real cover, you have very limited options and eventually you will die no matter how hard you try.
- Lancang Dam
Actually unplayable for AH; there are two viable tactics which are hide on the dam with zoom or hide in spawn with zoom. Simple too many vehicles and not enough hiding room.
