Originally posted by rowansl That is why the game has NOE and Cruise modes for vtols. NOE already simulates your "tree top level".
In the real world, I am a flight test engineer for a military helicopter program. I can personally vouch that our helos have the capability to operate at altitudes in excess of 14,000 ft and be combat effective. It is not unreasonable for vtols in cruise mode to be immune to artillery.
But this game has little to no relation to real-world. For the simplest form of game mechanics and balance. Let Vtols get damaged by arty, it keeps the game simple and fast paced. Want a realistic MechWarrior fight, go to CBT.
