Helicopter Damage.

[thatguy96]

Helicopters are extremely fragile when it comes down to it, whether you want to believe it or not. Their immense utility in combat and having changed the face of it forever is what keeps them in active frontline use, but people are always trying to deal with the inherent fragility of the concept. Imagine, for an instant, that 1 point of damage is all in the tail rotor assembly. When you take into account the size of the aircraft, the tail rotor hub is relatively small, but if it is destroyed, the system becomes virtually uncontrollable. Same deal with any serious damage to portions of the main rotor hub, individual rotors, and on newer helicopters the computer flight systems (blamed in the UK for a number of accidents involving their CH-47 fleet).
