Helicopters are faster than ground based. They can also insert troops in a variety of areas - such as on the roof of a building and the likes.

Using helicopters to deploy troops, in much the same way as parachutes, allows the attacking force to saturate the area with troops whilst maintaining the greatest amount of suprise. Armour will be spotted and will always be lower than the defending force, who will usually be on the roof or in windows. Paratroopers are too imprecise for exact building insertions and can be attacked whilst they are descending. Helo's with mounted weapons allow for a rapid and precise insertion whilst attacking the insertion area.
