Removing helicopters instant explode

This was a brilliant idea when seasparrow was a problem. But now it has minimal use and more abused.
Players keep on blasting helicopters near you,and believe me, exploding air vehicles are no less than RPGs.
So either disable that feature for now, or if possible, lessen the damage it deals on exploding.
Obviously players will die if they are stuck in air, so this would be used as it was supposed to.

Thnx for reading
Justify it more please. What are you talking about? What is this suggestion?

A revision.. of my suggestion: Remove the above mentioned feature because it is being abused (by Samael aka Lovecraft...., who else could it be?)

How is getting shot down abusing?
IF you shoot at the pilot and he is going down then why not go down into the person that is shooting him.  🙄
Nobody can escape their sins, everyone gets punished whether it takes a day or an eternity.
You can change who you are, but you cannot run from yourself.

what are you talking about......
Let's say a guy came with a helicopter to kill me. I shot him 2 times with sniper and took out his armour while he was flying. He landed his heli near me and blasted it in a single shot and both of us died.
It's blast is over powered, just like an RPG. In fact all air vehicles blast like that. But for others you get a chance to escape. This new feature just made it impossible to escape.
If Mike can disable shooting the heli rotors when the heli is unoccupied, this issue may get better.
Personally I love the rotor explosion of unoccupied heli's, I use it to destroy my own helis so they respawn and someone else or I can take it later.
Also, I don't even remember being involved in rotor explosion death like you're describing.
There are ways to play around it from both sides, if you're the one piloting a helicopter you can jiggle it around so its very hard to hit, if you wanna destroy it, just keep distance.
