I believe the problem is teamwork between pilots and rest of the team.
IRL a plane or helicopter doesnt strafe randomly and finds targets with a magic radar.
It has a flight plan with steerpoints for a safe route and general target's location so it can points its radar there.
Of course all these requires intel. Where are the threats, targets etc.
This kind of intel is very rare in PR. Pilots "hates" troopers and troopers "hates" pilots.
So pilot remains blind and becames a lone wolf.But its not only his fault.
I think its better for the pilots to ask changes which help them to have access to intel than changes like less AA, allien technology flares etc.
