How often do you fly Helicopters Poll

[Ddave1]

I have just one helicopter and am flying it to slowly three star all the destinations then I will upgrade to the next helicopter and repeat the process. Getting all the resources to send the helicopter takes ages so I don't actually do more than 6-8 flights a day but is a constant 'side-activity'.

That’s how I started but instead of replacing the first helicopter I added to it, I have kept one of each just in case in th3 future they turn up on quests or alliance flight.

Yes, that is what I did too, I have the sparrow and the crossbill (needs repair though).

I stopped flying them as soon as realised that tapping my phone screen into a stupor is not worth the effort.

I put helicopters in the same bucket as the weather events. A complete distraction from the main game and a complication which adds no enjoyment.

Have you tried explaining the game to a Newbie recently?

I have 3-starred the sparrow and crossbill and have one of each (or more) of the buildings you can get for completing the collections for them --- have two goldfinch I regularly fly and will continue until I three star and get the buildings. Sold all but one of the crossbill and have four sparrows to complete daily missions because I fly mostly condor planes and would never be able to complete the daily mission for flights sent / completed without the sparrows

Well done. Yeah I get the impression that most people only use them now to complete the Daily Mission. I find it easy to complete at the start of the week with the alliance task then once that's finished, no chance I either don't complete it or (if I have available video's) I change the task.

With me being lazy of late I find it most enjoyable to change tasks playing videos, this tapping every 3 seconds is very expensive for my health as it involves remembering to produce items and fuel, I want to upgrade H buildings so it can ease up but them too cost an arm and a leg.

I had to come on holiday to find the time to catch up on all the posts!

You guys really need to poll on whether helicopters are useful?

Like with everything related to this game - it has a lot of variety to try and capture lots of different customers. The helicopters are definitely difficult and expensive the more you progress and a lot of players find them very frustrating. But they undoubtedly add an extra depth to the game and I keep a crossbill to progress (very) slowly through the stars, and a couple of those sparrows for extra daily collectables (flights completed).

I don't play all the events because frankly I think a lot of them are "pants" but many of you out there love them. As they say in France "Viva la difference" or maybe it's about us all playing slightly different games.

Oi, it was me that started this Poll .

You know how curious I get about things. I just haven't been able to get along with them so I was just curious to know if I wasn't alone on this. The Poll ended 30th April and the results are above - a bit of a mixed bag really looking at the Poll and comments....

Having said I don't do them, I find myself doing a bit more. I'm at 344 stars so chasing my last 6 before I change banner. But they are a pain!

Yeah I get that, circumstances with this game change all time for each individual. If I was you, yes I would do them also for that reason.

Glad I serve as something! Lol. A reminder!

Do I get a prize for revitalising @Madegwen59 and @Therkyn to their next levels?

It’s what passes for humour after too much garlic and beer
