The funny thing about the heli's is, after replaying IV to get ready for V all the way up to launch day, I think in V they're actually easier than they were in IV. So while I find it tricky, it's not bothering me a lot, as its much better than what I was dealing with up to last week.
I keep it on free aim because I find its just too easy otherwise. I didn't like in IV how you can just click back & forth between auto targets, I think it takes the challenge out of it too much. I will admit to turning it to at least assisted aim for the rampages though. No way you could get through that on free aim, the way they aggressively charge and flank you now.
...on that note, I love the new AI. On the HUD, you can see the police strategy in trying to form a tight perimeter and flank maneuver. Multiple police cruisers in high speed chases seem to work together too, as opposed to previous editions, where they'd all just individually try to bash you off the road. I don't play a lot of shooters / driving games so I don't know how this AI compares to other games. But its definitely much improved from previous GTA's.
