MonsterZero Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 When I'm flying in a Su-25, what are the best tactics to deal with enemy Apache helicopters? In the past I tried to simply gain height and overfly them at a high altitude, but they still managed to unload guided missiles on me. When I try to make a run with a heat seeker to take them out, generally they manage to pepper me with cannon fire, while I'm desperately waiting for launch authorization.

Ich666 Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Helicopters are only a danger when youre not maneuvering much, try to not fly straight into them, but approach from above and give them hell with your IR missiles and guns. The requirement for this is that youre able to spot them, so keep your eyes out of the cockpit, observe, do your attack runs and then climb back to a safe height and observe again.
maturin Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 When you're guiding a Vikhr, you have no choice but to fly more or less predictably. And since Hellfires have a range of 8km, this makes a loitering Apache much better defense for ground vehicles than any amount of AAA. Surely you see the problem here?
