Default Re: Shooting at helicopters
helo speed and unit stabiliser, plus unit movement plays a part in the equation. Were the M113 armed with AAMG or with TMG?.

Rifles (or other infantry prime weapon class) have a max engagement range on flying helos of 2 or so hexes, LMG etc will probably only be able to engage a hovering helo, and if it then evades, it will probably have moved too far.

Cheers
