Attack Helos and Little Birds should not survive tank shots

That's pretty much it, they're already incredibly powerful, and landing a shot with a tank is incredibly hard. Right now both are capable of surviving an AT shell. Little Bird can take an AP shell to the cockpit and walk away. With as powerful as they are, flying in range of tanks should be punishable.

No arguments here. At a minimum the little bird should always die to a tank round and attack helis should be severely gimped if not one shot too depending on where theyre hit.

Because streamers rule over what EA/Dice does and you can't make exciting, click bait videos without a super fortress helo with aim bot

Have you ever tried using any other round except AP? It does exactly what you are asking for, except it is too easy to hit with AP since it has most speed and less drag

Use a different ammo type? Duh?
Or maybe use MBTs what they're meant for.

With the AP shell it's not "too easy" to hit a moderately fast moving attack chopper and even less easy to hit the little bird.
With the HE shell its pretty much impossible unless they are very close.

If the helo pilot is stupid enough to fly in front of me that I can hit it with my main gun, it should die in one shot. This should be the case for any helo except the transport. Helos are already broken and too easy to survive in.

I would not suggest if it was like that. It is more than possible, and I always take an opportunity to do it. You dont have a guaranteed chance to do it every time, but it is consistent enough, just requires practice. Just try to do it every time and you will get better over time.
Asking to lower skill level to dominate aircraft with ground vehicle (consider that there are 4.5 tanks and 1 attack heli and 1-2 little birds) is a nonsense, it should never be like that.
It should and I hope will stay a trick shot and must not be trivial to execute,

Switch to heat round and it will 1 shot them. The travel time on the AP is significantly faster than the heat shell, so for game balance purpose I think its fine as is. Otherwise its the RPG issue all over again
