Helicopter Damage.

[Dracula]

Well I can understand the instinct of life preserving of the pilots.

BUT some chopers should be MORE RESISTANT to small fire arms like Apaches, Supercobras and other gunship of that sort. I can remember that in the initial version of Steel panther2 (1997) helicopters could fight after taking substentials damages (more than one point) so MAYBE if some let say experienced crews(veterans and elites) of gunships success in a rally check maybe then those helicopters could continue the fight. In my humble opinion most of the players would agree to my point of view. After all its very frustrating to have nice killing birds and see them turn their bleeding noses toward mother base to seek shelter...

Apaches, Hinds etc have armour - this stops a certain level of AAA fires from having any effect. The hit simply becomes a no-effect one. But if any does get through causing damage, planes and helos RTB. This has been the case since SP1/2/3 days.

Only certain parts of AHs are armored. But the one biggest part isn´t, the rotor. So burst of small arms will damage it, and ricochets may damage other vulnerable top parts, like the rotor carriage.
