Helo SAMs work just fine, as long as you're stationary the TURN BEFORE opposition aircraft/helos arrive/are spotted.

If you've moved the turn prior to their arrival they rarely fire.

I'm not sure about "better then they should", they seem to hit about as often as any other equilivent SAM. I can't speak for anyone else in the world but the whole reason USMC helos carry SAMs is for defense vs opposition aircraft. Shooting at other helos is kind of a bonus.
