### **Proposed Balance Adjustments for the Littlebird and Transport Helicopters in *Forefront*** In order to improve balance between aerial units and infantry within the game environment, the following technical recommendations are proposed for adjustments to the *Littlebird* and *Transport* helicopter models: 1. **Pilot Action Restrictions** Implement an operational lockout preventing pilots from performing secondary actions while flying, such as initiating self-repair procedures or using ground-based weapons (RPG or anti-air launchers). This measure aims to avoid improper use and ensure gameplay consistent with the aircraft’s intended role. 2. **Missile Countermeasure Availability Indicator** Add a visual HUD indicator displaying the availability status of the flare or missile-defense countermeasure, allowing pilots to manage the system’s tactical usage more effectively. 3. **Automatic Repair Station at Base** Establish an automatic repair structure at the base capable of restoring up to **40%** of the helicopter’s durability when it enters the activation radius. After use, a cooldown of at least **30 seconds** must be applied before the station can be used again. 4. **Helicopter Respawn Times** Adjust helicopter respawn timers as follows: * Transport Helicopter: **45 seconds** * Littlebird Helicopter: **75 seconds** 5. **Damage Revision for Portable Launchers** * RPG launchers will now deal **92%** damage to helicopters (reduced from 100%). * Anti-air launchers will now deal **92%** damage (increased from 60%). 6. **Lock-On Criteria for Anti-Air Launchers** Anti-air missile lock-on should only be permitted when the following technical conditions are met: * Minimum distance from operator to helicopter: **30 meters**. * Helicopter must be at least **5 meters** above ground level. 7. **Anti-Air Ammunition Limitation for Infantry** Reduce infantry anti-air missile capacity from **5 to 3 missiles**, reinforcing the need for tactical and coordinated use. --- ### **Technical Justification** The proposed changes aim to improve balance between aircraft and ground units by encouraging pilots to adopt more tactical and cautious behavior. By increasing the relevance and threat of anti-air weaponry—especially against helicopters operating recklessly at higher altitudes—the adjustments discourage uncontrolled offensive actions and promote more strategic decision-making. These modifications seek to enhance fairness, gameplay variety, and overall competitive experience for all players.
