or are they still flying coffins?

Was there a patch?

Their still pretty easy to shoot down. Coffin sounds about right.

What's there to fix? The Hueys were flying coffins. If you know what you do, you can stay up longer than 10 seconds. If you fly right at a tank, or just circle strafe in a predictable pattern, of course you're gonna die.

Apparently you didn't see the videos that showed the massive difference in damage the choppers take between the PC and consoles. That, and the fact that the devs themselves said that it was a glitch and would be addressed. "

Thanks for finding that. That's a pretty vague description of what was done (and I'd actually be willing to bet it's incorrect), but I'm sure they at least can take more damage than they could before. 
 
Actually, now that the thread loaded I can read some of the comments. If it takes 3 repair torches it does seem like a 50% boost. I'm not sure how balanced that will actually end up being.

They are certainly not fixed. On PCs they are flying tanks... still paper on consoles.

@Wuddel: Unfortunately I have to agree.

I played the other day and it seemed like they were definitely stronger, we had trouble taking one down who had a skilled pilot at the helm.

Well with the 50% health buff this only means that they have 25% of health compared to PCs (instead of 16.7% before...)
