As for helos, if no SAMs available, recommend AA machineguns in large enough concentrations. |
A hovering, landed or very slowly moving helo at low altitude can be attacked as a ground target - including with LGB, bombs, strafing etc. A tank sabot round or a MILAN through a hovering Hind is rather effective
!.
Also arty fire can do damage or suppress helos at very low esp if hovering, slow or landed.
Infantry can drive them off with small arms fire at 1-2 hexes if they get too close too, unlike the original games.
Best helo counter assuming they can avoid the enemy AAA is another helo with cannons, AGL or rockets. Chase down the enemy helo, close to 1 hex and shoot it at point-blank.
