A helicopter can do the same things, but worse. It is slower (by 20) and has worse spells for certain purposes. Helicopter can stun, but it lacks good aoe against troop command and for 3v3 mid play. It also lacks good creeping spells, opposed to the healing drone air ship. Now if you want to use the mobility to the max. you play mid, where you have only disadvantages for helicopter: air ship is faster switching to lane, air ship has better aoe abilities for 2v2/3v3 fights and air ship has better creeping capacities. Heli might still be viable if you lack stuns in your 3 player team, but if you allready have a stun in your team air ship is just better. It's different at the side lane, where the aoe spells normally only hit 1 opponent and the maximum creeping efficiency is achieved easily. Here the stun can be enough advantage to make helicopter and air ship equally good, maybe the helicopter slightly better if no troop command is played or against certain tanks (gobo for example).
