narc 0 Posted November 25, 2008 The armor values in the latest version of ArmA are a joke, as well as light armored vehicles like the HMMWV exploding after taking several hits from light weapons, the MH-6 and AH-6 helicopters drop out of the sky after taking just 2-3 hits. Although the armor and fuel bars are full the helicopter is disabled and drops out of the sky like a stone, very annoying, it makes the AH-6 completely useless.

max power 21 Posted November 26, 2008 Those would be hits to the engine or rotor that makes that happen. If you are hit in the generic hull, that won't happen like that. In sum, getting a bullet through a running turbine engine and having it fail is not that illogical. It does not make those helicopters useless either. I don't know what you are trying to do when you're getting shot down, but some advice when using the ah-6. If you want to attack with it, you should come in with a shallow dive from high-ish altitude, made a very fast running pass, then leave. Approaches to and from the target area should be low, using the terrain to mask you... same goes for the mh-6 going to and from lzs... low approaches, using the terrain to mask you.
