A couple of reasons.
Helos are just not that real of a threat in the real world. The capabilities of the airborn assets in the game are much too overstated.
Would an anti-air missile be nice? Sure.
But saying this and doing this are WAY too different things.
1. How do you keep the missile dry? This is much harder than it sounds.
2. How do you aim and launch it? This too is harder than is sounds.
3. Where do you put it? This is even harder than 1 and 2.
4. How many do you have? This goes along with no. 3.
5. Do you really need one?
I do not mean to be snarky but this thread is sterile conjecture.
I have been inside of a 500 yds. of hovering helos who were pinging away, and a helos who were passive (US, Soviet, UK, German etc...). We could see them but they had no contact... This was the norm.
The helos biggest asset is not detecting you and dropping a weapon. It just the threat of this action and maybe disrupting your approach. A mission kill is almost as good as a real kill.
The solution refinement of all the airborne assets in the game is just freaking amazing.. NEVER on their best day could they ever do that in real life.
Hell, the Soviet surface ships acoustic capabilities are WAYYYY to good also in the game.
But, at the end of the day, it is still just a freaking game.

Like shipkiller1 , said the airborne assets & surface ship capabilities are way too high .
Is there anyway to back this off , and yes it is just a game .
O and merry Christmas & a happy new year to one & all .
