Small only-helicopters-AAR

K Ariel if you fancy doing it again may as well do it realisticly, they are scary powerfull if enemy AAA is light.
Use 1 or 2 wings as follows USA Air Cav make up from memory
HQ Wing + 3 Recon Wings + 2 Attack Wings

Recon Wing = 6 Scout + 4 Attack Helos
Attack Wing = 4 Scout + 7 Attack Helos
HQ Wing = 1 Scout + 1 Attack + 6 Transport Helos

From around 2000 you can get helo wars with the right sides with them shooting missiles at each other.

The trouble i see with that scenario, and it seems sound as a plan.
The AI will rarely cooparate with your plans ,unless you buy for it.
Likely it will muster scads of manpads AA and infrantry which will send helios in a panic,your gonna need possible Arty and grunt scouts as well.
Scout helios are good for draining off AA,but some ground support is needed IMO.

Scenario #59 Egypt airmoble attack seems to be a good example on a good plan.

Thanks for all the feedback!


I bought for the AI, that's why it had the AA-guns in the first place...I was just wondering why it didn't use it's Strela-troops...



It still was a lot of fun and it was mainly for this battle-report within the big ModernCampaigns-AAR, so I won't try any helicopter-atttack in near future.

But Scenario #59 sounds great!
