Default Use of Guships

I often play generated campaigns 1965-67 USMC/USA vs Viet Cong.
I can't help noticing how the AI always rather sensibly purchases a couple of ZPU-2 AAMGs and can deny most of the map to my gunships.
However cautious I am, I can barely get near the enemy with them.
Now I know IRL helos gave the Viet Cong forwarning of US forces approaching and were very vulnerable to ground fire, so no criticism of the game engine or realism there, but does anyone have any advice to keep my gunships (UH-1Es)as useful assets on the battlefield rather than burning wrecks?
