Explanation

Extra players in helicopters can act as human shields.

Tank shells & RPGs can hit people inside the helicopters, and thus do not deal any damage to the helicopter.

At worst, this means the little bird can take several tanks shells and just keep on flying. As the little bird can have 4 people on it, covering most of the heli.

Shooting individual players out of helis with bullets seem perfectly reasonable, but not with RPGs or tank shells. The damage should be done to the helicopter also if you hit a person in/on a heli.

Or there should be splash damage, killing the other players in the heli including the pilot. RPG used to have this, but it was for some reason nerfed.
