Seems to me PC is overreacting here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is my assumption people wanted more realistic flight dynamics, not a removal of those (albeit unrealistic) little helpers that helped fly a two-crewmembers-helicopter as a single player. If you provided a solution like Petro/George/Jester that would be fine, but as long as you don't offer that solution, there have to be some sort of "cheats" to keep the helicopter stable while the player is working the sight. And I really do want to simulate Cold War stationary pop-up attacks on tanks, even if that's not the go-to tactic in Africa nowadays.
