Another tactic against Helicopters if you are in a bind is hosing them with all the MG fire you can, the heavier the better. While you may not hit them I've found it will at minimum throw off their aim and at best suppress them. Of course if it's the Commanders Birthday or if you are very lucky a dead helo is possible!!! Transport Helo's can be "convinced" with this method as well usually with much more satisfying results. I once had an arty mission fall on a LZ I was landing in, 152's I believe, it ruined my whole day. So if you can divine the LZ for an Airmobile Assault getting your artillery retasked there would be to your advantage, especially any cluster munitions or large calibre guns.

No matter how it’s sliced purpose built attack helos can be problematic.
