Indeed, a rather unusual way to distract the enemy! I'm sure the chopper pilots were not extremely happy. Did you lose any with a full load of infantry or was their fire not powerful enough to shoot them down?

Ha that happend to me in the spec ops branch in the first air assaul scenario. Lost a Uh34 to small arms and AA fire right in the first turn! It was loaded with the Co HQ and 1st Plt HQ. Aborted and redid that scenario.

It's very rare that small arms fire is able to hit a helo, much less shoot the whole thing down. I think I did loose a couple of Uh-34s, but to 23mm flak, and probably their infantry also. But like I said, transport helos stay in the air for a turn after being hit, and the Uh-34 is fairly cheap so it's a safe tactic.
