1. Since the Hind was your primary complaint I will write that the Hind is so heavy that it cannot fly Nap-of-the-Earth at higher speeds like other attack helicopters. Common doctrine is a straight run at the target and shallow bank away at higher altitude. In Afghanistan their ceiling made them unable to fly over many of the mountain heights and they had to fly down the valleys. Mujaheddin tactics were to climb the heights and fire RPGs at the as they passed. They considered the Hind's only weak spot as the tail rotor and aimed to try and hit there.
Speed and altitude records attained by the Hind were set by a special stripped down model.

2. Pass, no experience with that.

3. ROK Special Forces have been specialized for Guerrilla warfare. At first alert, they will deploy to selected areas and wait for the invasion to pass and then conduct partisan type operations. While they have created a world wide deployment brigade the game's war in Korea scenarios have not focused on them.

4. If it is evading it is no longer stationary but it's movement has not taken it out of the hex. The simplest example is a hull down tank on a hill that spots the back-blast of the ATGM launch and/or spots the missile in flight (20-21 seconds flight time to max range for a TOW) and simply backs up 10 feet till it disappears behind the crest of the hill. After the missile misses, it can drive back forward and engage the launch area with HE.
