Helicopter costs?
When does the deployment cost for an upgraded chopper actually get deducted?
Helicopter either bare bones or fully upgraded, it doesn't change anything about deployment cost, yet on the customization page it says that the fully upgraded chopper costs around 56k to deploy.

Is that for fire support only?

I think it's not so much deployment, but more when you ask a helicopter to land once you are in the field (so at end of mission, or halfway mission to pick up prisoners, etc.).

I pretty much just leave the helicopter at chassis level 1 since I do not need fast air pickups.

fully decked my heli got totaled by a random event that just so happened to start AS SOON AS i entered the lz, i got out in time, took one guard, BOOM gone, costs 240k to replace (with every single upgrade using atgl missles, not atgu
it only comes into play when a heli of yours is destroyed.
or if you needed to land on a lz (usually i just drop a jeep and drive around till i find some "air freight." and leave with that and my jeep.

2 reasons to upgrade your helo - 1. So you can everything delevloped and 2. So you can deploy a fully equiped help to complete 1 or 2 missions so you can get the helo codename - other than that - basic stock helo

It's added to your deployment costs if you ride it into the mission, and again if you take it back out. Unless you spring for the faster engines, the cost is pretty low, even with fully upgraded missiles and armor. I always put the armor on it if I can, because it is cheap and prevents replacement costs.
