Fallout Re: Speed of Apache?

I leave you with these tables below, how it affects game speed for me right now at this moment, well I just don't feel like breaking out the calculator for.
These tables again ought to help but for perspective you'll find for speed alone many non-combat helos fly faster. Attack helos are much more about payload with for instance the AH-64E can carry 2,500lbs. more of than the AH-64D. Also maneuverability, EW, battle damage/protection, operational radius, mission capabilities and flexibility etc. etc. these along with speed is what determines how successful an attack helo is or other combat aircraft in general.
