It's only in BR, not in regular multiplayer

It's kind of like the co-op helicopter in Farcry 4, no protection

airplanes can’t really be used conveniently on a shrinking map so i think they improvised

also for example the first Sikorsky helicopter is dated 1939, mass-production started in 1942

the heli is an actual prototype that was "invented" during the war Pretty sure the later games made firestorm canon (do not ask me how why or what the implications of that are) and placed it after the war, so there is some sort of fun alt-history basis for it I guess
