Jets were already confirmed to be excluded but not Heli. So helicopters are confirmed
There are no helicopters that saw combat in this era. They were gimmicky death traps near the end of the war and were all prototypes. So unless we have a “Secret Weapons of WW2” type DLC that 1942 had, it will not happen
That would be nice. All it would take is one map even if it was the testing range to give me my fix. I’m good either way but I won’t put down BF1 until the next battlefield so I can only hope I won’t have to say goodbye in the meantime. Even if it’s a death trap I won’t mind.. I’ll die happy.. Each and every time
I don’t know… at least in the paper thin biplanes you could move semi fast. these choppers would barely get you out of the base before being ripped to shreds
The gyrocopter wasn’t invented until a few years after the war. But come on, airships dude! Airships will fulfill the role of helicopters, and prop planes will be great. BF 1942 was fantastic and that didn’t have no choppers.
Maybe have a big warehouse off to the side of the map and the helicopters could fly around in there not bothering anyone else, just having loads of fun with other pilots
Jets and helicopters. Two phrases that have no place in a WW1 setting. Go in a time machine back to the St Mihiel ask Gen. Pershing where the jet and heli support is.
You be shackled and sent to the insane asylum.
Does this even need confirmation? They simply didn’t exist then, so of course they would not be in this game.
It’d be like saying since there were tanks in GTA, people needed confirmation to make sure there weren’t any in Red Dead Redemption.
Trust me, know battlefield is fun without helicopters. I spend much more time on the ground than in the air. But when I’m in heli it’s like when I’m doing coke. I don’t have to have it but it’s nice. Or Pepsi
There may have been. There were trains and wagoons. So maybe a prototype tank. A lot of things in war are invented while in war. When it’s life or death you become 900% more creative. They don’t become official and produced until after the war.
There won’t be helis in this game.
I politely suggest a trip to the library to research some stuff.
Please, no helicopters. To my knowledge I don’t believe there was any, if at all even thought of yet, that saw combat. So no. Keep them in modern shooters.

You actually learn more by traveling and experiencing things hand on than in by reading a book about someone’s else’s experience. Yes it’s more time efficient but the quantity of knowledge gained is seriously lacking. You can’t have the best of both worlds. You can either read about history or write it.. And I plan to write history when I have the most fun of all time playing BF1 flying in the prototype helicopter. Meanwhile you will be so mad that dice have added something so far fetched as a helicopter. Meanwhile planes will be buzzing past your head and you will be on the phone with your librarian asking what book has all the facts of every nations vehicles in this time period
If DICE adds helicopters to BF1 to appease the chopper pilots whining I will not buy it, The entire reason i’m pumped for WW1 setting is so i won’t have to worry about being farmed by a littlebird who bans people for shooting him down. Stop making these threads please. There were absolutely NO helicopters in WW1, the game being set in world war 1 is your confirmation there will be no heli’s period.
I agree with JTHMsonicfan, there is no reason nor purpose for helicopters to be in this game. Prototype or otherwise. And even if it were implemented, as a prototype it would be useless, less then useless really. And the helicopter pilots who begged for it will probably whine and complain that it is useless. So thus everyone’s time will be wasted. Their’s for waiting, ours for having a chopper over something more useful. And the developers for having to waste their time putting it into the game as a whole.
Same goes for wanting assault rifles in the game. Neither have any reason to be in this game. Please stop asking for them, they don’t fit.
No one is whining except you saying you won’t buy the game if you don’t have your way. I will be perfectly fine either way and love the game. I don’t want a prototype heli to fight and kill people. I want it to fly “transport” and occasionally get a roadkill. I’m am perfectly fine with this thread. You’re not, so make your own thread
Again accused of whining for wanting heli. It’s obvious you guys got your feelings hurt by a few pilots. I assure you it was not me. I am not your enemy. Anytime I fly. I play objective. Actually my k/d is .7 but my win/loss ratio is good. Not that I care about stats but I play to have fun and it’s fun to win not to get a million kills.
Considering there’s now dozens of threads with pilots asking for helicopters to be added to Battlefield 1 I’d call that whining. Even defenseless transport heli’s don’t belong in WW1 so start learning to fly a blimp or plane if you want to fly.
That just means many people want the same thing. And you don’t so you are whinning and actually accusing threads of whinning because there is a number of them?
And I know how to fly a plane. Not my thing in past titles. Although BF1 planes look very fun. Still, we can hope for helicopter type vehicle. And if not, it’s ok. There is no problem, no whinning. Because the game will be great no matter what they give us.
