Looking for Attack tactics when flying the L version

[xfirf]

Hi,

I really like the Gazelle, but compared to the Huey damage-resistance it´s like flying a paper-plane.

So do you have some tipps for me regarding staying alive longer? Especially when flying the L-Variant with Rockets and Machine Gun.

Thank you

Terrain/environmental masking, pop-up to attack, limit your visibility to the enemy, plan your ingress and egress routes to maximise use of terrain.

Thanks.
Do you talk about popping up like when flying the M Gazelle?

Or do you talk about flying high speed low-level behind terrain or building and then "pop up to attack"?

Get used to flying 10 feet off the ground, and hiding. You play hide-and-seek with your target. If you can see them, they can see you. Make sure you know where they are without looking.

You don't fly helos in a combat zone over the top of your enemy. You will be shot down within minutes.

Study the map and know the terrain. It takes practice, but that translates to survivability.
