Re: Helicopter armor
Because as discussed many a time and oft - if there is any damage to a plane then it may well fall out of the sky without notice. Pilots really don't like that idea at all, so they RTB as soon as they can. Only the wrench wallahs can look at the thing and determine if the damage needs down time in the maintenance hangar.
Its a basic design element of the SP engine, and aint going to change whatsoever. A damaged flying machine = RTB.
So if your helo gets plinked, then drop the passengers or fire at what you can before the pilot decides to scarper.
