Disable helicopter thumbstick control in first person, and allow only in 3rd person like other vehicles.

Allowing players to use the old thumbstick method over the new controls provides a massive advantage not only in crispness/responsiveness of controls, but also allows use of weapons and tools by the pilot, placing those using virtual controls at a distinct disadvantage.

As someone with a lot of experience in other titles flying with virtual I like the new controls, but don't believe this issue can be resolved through practice as I have tons in both schemes. The playing field needs to be leveled to promote fair immersive control gameplay for all.

Such a change will also in as a biproduct slightly nerf helicopters, which is probably a good thing since pilot self-repair has returned as a perk.
