Always shot down by other helis

[connos]

I am currently playing the second chapter in the oil campaign and i am having difficulties with the Cobras and the Apaches. They always laser me first and unfortunately shot me down. If i am lucky my wingman may spot them end i order him to attack. Any tips against other helis

Don't hover while they shoot at you ;)

I don't, I maneuver aggressively but still they manage to bring me down. Also they are difficult to spot.

With ATGMs or their guns? Speed helps a lot against ATGMs because of their limited turn rate.

Your wingmen should give the heads up, long before they laz you. If you know they are out there, but can't spot them yet, back off 4 k or so, find some cover if you can and see if you can locate them. If they do laz you, asume a missle is inbound, run away, zig zagging as you go.

 

The best time to get them is when they are busy shooting up vehicles, and from the side. They are alot easier to see then since the hellfires are going.

 

When you are ready to go after them, send your wingman first to distract them.

 

Those missions are really tough, because you loose alot of score when certain friendlies are destroyed, but you will get it yourself if you stay too close when AH64s are inbound.

With hellfire missiles. Thanks uhoh7. Yes your wingman give the heads up if they are in your 12 o'clock and yes they are difficult for sure, its realistic thou its the American Army.
