Why did they cap the speed of rotors? its hard enough to try to avoid damage and having tons of lockon rockets shot up your ass isnt that fun…and being in the sky there is not many places to hide in alot of maps and get focused by the enemy from a far cant really dodge scorp or charon shots much any more >:( and trying to fly back to base with the points you end up snipped by people or the retard Ai with there aim 
If I was to take a guess, it might be that people complained about having helicopters in the next-step missions, so instead of limiting the amount of copters there (or at least putting an equal amount on each team), they lowered the rotor speeds. 
30 min ago we fought 4 helies in a team like you should they should limit the amount of helies
