Faster Firing improves all attack speeds, and is always the preferred crosspath for other Heli paths outside of Least Tiers. It is weak by itself and should not be bought without other upgrades first. Increased attack speed benefits DPS for top path and Special Poperations's Marine, plus blowback for middle path.

Pursuit Downdraft has felt like an overperformer for a very long time, but instead of outright nerfing it we increased crosspath potential for those who manually take control over their heli micro.

Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.

Even with the map-range advantage, rotors are weak compared to any other constant AoE circle like this.
