That's why the lead plane carries the missiles only . . to "clear" the area for the follow on stike.
In a Pbem its probably a waste of points but in the hands of a creative designer it could cause a player to question whether his armored helo's can dominate the field of battle at will. Imagine the horror as the player maneuvers his pair of Hind-D's into position to attack an armored column only to have an F-15 swoop down, fire a spread of sidewinder's and drop them all in one pass. It also works if you load a helo for anti-air operations against other helo's. A nose mounted mini-gun is nice but a sidewinder so much more accurate.
Actually at the time I was testing I was working on an ALL helicopter user campaign.
