[Cameronius]

In Vietnam era scenarios I use spotter planes, recce helos and strike aircraft to spot AA early. I then use smoke to cover gunship and transport movement to obective areas. I then hammer all known or relevent AA positions with arty and air strikes. If need be I finish them off with point blank fire from helos, approaching with 2 or more helos alternating movement to force the AA to fire on a different target every time. After all AA fire in the area is eliminated I then land infantry to take objectives and cordon and area close by the objective to land mortar support and ammo carriers with heavy helos as a fire base. Gunships can then use the fire base to reload ammo so they can support the infantry assault and help defend against counter attacks. Using these tactics I usually end up with only a handful of my choppers bugging out with light damage and very rarely one is shot down.
