I really don't want to bring up old things - since I read over it the first time I saw this...
but, considering that I actually served for quite a while as an active officer of a western army, and considering that I try to stay current on active wars as much as possible I'd have to disagree with the last statement of your text ChrisND.
Helicopters are NOT just used for SpecOps insertions... just look at 3 Para in Helmand province... they moved companies or more at a time - to use the element of surprise...
Or should I bring up German Fallschirmjägers, French Paratroopers etc....
and yes..one would see this less frequently in a full out engagement between two major powers, due to the fact of AA - and yes, neither the war against the Taliban, nor the war in Iraq can be used as a reference for a war between NATO and Russia - but the "categorization" of the statement: "Helicopters as a means of transport is a stuff of movies" is quite wrong I am afraid...
also: has there been any news on the possibility of "rolling artillery fire" for any of the next titles?
if there is anything missing when it comes to arty it is this I am afraid - especially for WWII...
