Default Re: Apache helicopter countermeasure

While I don't have access to the game code from in-game experience I find that armor 1 makes helos pretty resistant (but not immune) to small arms, 2 most MMGs, 3 VERY difficult to damage with MPADs and 20mmish AA, 4 essentially immune to MPADs and smaller AA because when you hit you generally get zero damage.

And that seems "correct", the Hind and Apache are designed and armored to be essentially immune to small caliber AA.

It may not be an "armor absorption" issue but rather one with how explosive damage is calculated/applied.
