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.

Yeah in the above mentioned battle my opponent very thoughtfully picked an LZ which had a priority target marker on it.
I did after much hammering away managed to wing one of the attack helicopters with a .50 from my battalion HMG platoon.
