Default Re: Apache helicopter countermeasure

Oh - forgot another attack vector if your opponent likes to hover. ATGM from land or helo platforms can engage stationary helos as well so if you have LOS to a hovering helo with one of those platforms, give that a go, and for Russian tube launched gun/missiles - try turning the gun off so the missile in slot 2 fires. ATGM do not care what EW the helo target carries, though the chopper can evade them like tanks do.

Overall though, if the helo is caught in the hover you are probably best using solid shot from an MBT with good FC and laser R/F. No dodge, no EW defence, and if the helo does not evade on a first missed shot, open to another shot.

Bottom line is that helos sitting in the hover are quite vulnerable.
