At the second attempt we positioned better (not on top of your heads hehe, that went rather bad when we crashed on you), back to the west (I think). From there we could fire all our (eight) Hellfire missiles outside the enemy weapon range. The mistake was that after we depleted our missiles we advanced forward, and got shot down. I suggest that in the next attempt we will hold at the back, fire the missiles and wait for the attacking infantry to get closer, we can engage them with 20mm from that range. Can be useful against light armour such as the BMPs.
Sounds like a good plan, although you might need to save some missles for any tanks that are lurking in the distance or near the town we have to advance on later but I think the briefing said you can land and resupply, so you might not need to be too careful.

Yeah, tell me about it. It's just trying to trick you though. You see a pizza delivery van on the road and then an apparently unarmed transport helo and think it's OK to advance, then you get to the road and there's two armed vehicles waiting for you and the helo turns into a lethal gunship
