Some time back I did some tests with helos. These are the results I recall.

At armor 0 armor they got shot up, if not down, by small arms (rifles) more often the not when they ventured near an infantry unit. MGs off vehicles were a virtually guaranteed kill.

At armor 1 they seemed to be able to withstand most small arms fire but MGs were still pretty lethal.

At armor 2 they become near invulnerable to small arms and highly resistant to MGs.

At armor 3+ most light flak doesn't bother them.

EW wise it depends entirely on the rating of the MPAD/missile. If the helo has a higher rating they're seldom hit, if lower more often then not they were. BUT the armor rating means lighter MPADs do little to no damage even if hit.

OF COURSE there are always crits, so occasionally anything can destroy them in a single hit.
