Are you saying the game is reporting the helo was hit, or it just appears the tank round hit.

The hex is 50m, the tank round could have been close. A very close round may result in some damage points, maybe 1 as most attack helos won't take damage beyond 2 points.

I have had the same experience where the helo is reported hit by a tank or ATGM and no damage is reported. Stinger missiles also tend to bounce off of Russian helos. The only thing worse are SU-25s which are like flying indestructible objects.

I hit the chopper, the message "xxx was hit" diplayed, but no damage happened.

Anyway Andy gave the answer I was looking for.
