Wow, sounds like an awesome mission. Don't think I had the pleasure of playing that one (it sounds quite memorable, so I think I'd remember it!)
I like the idea about enemy air threats. I can see that having to deal with enemy choppers could distract the friendly ones and draw them away from the area where the ground troops are, so our choppers aren't just hanging around there, taking out most of the ground threats and leaving the ground troops with little to do.
Perhaps another option could be to have mortars/artillery somewhere away from where the ground troops need to fight but which is a threat to them and have the chopper have to go there to take it out so that the ground troops can do their job? If it's far enough away, then it will take the chopper a while to get back (maybe have some other stuff for it to deal with on the way back that's advancing on the friendly ground troops) to avoid the chopper killing the stuff the ground troops are meant to deal with.
