Scout helos

[phil74501]

When I would play campaigns, I would always buy a f/o as my second unit, B0, so I could keep track of it. I would always upgrade it to an attack helicopter...like an Apache. It made for better arty spotting, plus it was also good for taking out the odd tank or apc that got a little too close.

I frequently buy two scout/light helos and put one on each map edge (usually north & south) as far behind my front lines as possible and still see a bit ahead (5-10 hexes) of my front line units. Between them they can usually see most of the battlefield. That way the function as both FO's and spotters. And being far back don't attract so many MANPADS and get missed most of the time when they do, the second helo often spots an enemy MANPAD that fires at the first.
