Helos suppressed by being in same hex as a ground unit taking fire???

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

Have had USA Apaches "Auto Fire" at Russian ground attack aircraft that came within their "field of vision". Don't normally use them but suspected the AI would throw a series of air strikes at me as I was defending and it was late in one of my 21 game campaigns. Caused only damage and no kills due to experience level of the Apache. Only used it one time, I would rather have the full ground attack capability. Better to use other SAM (mobile) units to protect and move with the troops and backup my area SAMs if at all possible. That's just me though.
