Helicopter shot
My friends and I have been trying to enjoy Arma recently. I've noticed something however, when we're in a helicopter, the other players can shoot out certain parts of the helicopter, such as the rotors and other essential things. But when we try to hit the helicopter, they just laugh and fly away. Can anyone tell me how to shoot down a helicopter without using rockets? And yes I am aimng ahead and above it when needed.

6.0+ does the job, 5.56 under doesn't work as well, a Katiba or AK works good for it, and the pdw works too, also any marksman rifle besides MXM and Rahim works.

depends on the heli. It is easy to bring down a pawnee or humming bird, much harder to do that with huron even if you use Lynx.

Hurons are tough, a humming bird, pawnee, or m-900 are easy to shoot down, the orca is the same, so as the mohawk, and also the ghost hawk, tbh, the ghosthawk is armored, but one he bullet screws it all up and an he bullet to the humming bird is like a pistol shooting at it.

Well, your aim should be to disable the Heli, not to destroy it. There are two simple tactics.
1. Shoot weak spots of the Heli, best would be the tail rotor - on distance, 7.62 should to the job better than smaller rounds. Inexperienced pilots would now struggle to keet the heli in the air.
2. Shoot the crew. If already being attacked, the gunners are the first priotity, then the pilot. I'd recommend 7.62 here again, due to the windshield. But if you're the one shooting first, go fir the Pilot first. If the windshield cracks, he might try to evacuate first and come back later, giving you soem time to hide or prepare the second attack.

Also, if being equipped with an AMR (Lynx APDS) and you're in need to shoot down a Pawnee or hummingbord, aim for the engine or the windshield. One proper hit should do the job.
