How does the game engine treat helos on high-altitude...has it the same cross-sections like a small fighter? Not that they now get easy targets for radar-guided SAMs. I guess masts are not simulated, are they?

And could not the search algorithm for helos be improved with reasonable effort: So that is does not completely randomly fly around but 'searches' for hills/locations where it can pop up and 'see' stuff in the distance or is that already implemented?
