Ever notice how there are no women in STALKER?

[Dracon M'Alkir]

I guess that the devs think military helicopter pilots suck donkey testicles. No other reason would explain the amount of downed helos in STALKER.

Or perhaps they were attempting to convey the fact that the Zone is a very dangerous place to even fly over? Not to mention demonstrate the limited abilities of even the well-equipped military in the Zone?

Or that.
