This has been my biggest annoyance for years. I also think you've described it perfectly. The way helicopters fly, especially in bhd and beyond, which I would expect they could do much better back then, is choppy. The way they fly away is unnatural and when they take a turn it is very sharp. Take for example the movie of bhd. When the black hawks take off it is slow, nicely flowing and you see that the helicopter really needs time to get going before it can accelerate. Sometimes I still experiment with the helicopters in the game to make them take off at a slow pace or land smoothly. Unfortunately this does not work in any way.
