Is it normal to see a Pact player spawn nothing but helicopters and rush the enemy forces while they are still on the roads.

I seriously just played a game on summer nights where my ally spawned nothing but Mi-24 variants and Havocs, with a couple command units. He rushed the opponents main force while they were on the road and killed everything, the enemy even had about four chapperals but they didn't do much to his helo horde. My army got completely demolished later by another army in the trees, but they my ally just brings his choppers over and kills everything there too. WTF.

Should the availability of Mi-24 + variants be reduced?

Mi-24 spam is piss easy to stop, even easier than cobra spam. Your opponents were probably unexperienced players who had no idea how to stop a heli rush.

I've found that a combination of rolands and AAA are much more effective against heli rush than chaps... Rolands fire pretty continuously, and AAA can stun, while chaps fire 4 times (and arent that acccurate) and then they are out of ammo, and even if there is a truck nearby to resupply them, it still takes a while for them to aim and fire again, and at this point, the enemy has targeted and destroyed them.

i've stopped 12+hinds with 2 pivads and 2 rolands i find that pact air rushes are generally just a bad idea as nato aa is devastating and the hinds and havocs are large targets

It still failed horrible when it run into 6 of my 2S6M + manpads.

That said in early private beta I used to rush noobs with T64BV+2S6M group while they were thinking about how to buy units.
