The missles are ground only from what i've seen but against a heavily armored hind your helicopter will survive as long as you back it up. If you are far enough you can fire rockets at the hind without being detected so it will just take the hit while still targeting your helicopter. His miniguns will finish it off.

I prefer the H rocket maxed over the AS missles. A rocket salvo usually does the trick.

How in the world is a Helicopter equipped with 2 Autocannons which use HE rounds and a loadout of either Unguided HE missiles or ATGM's a transport?

The Military classifies the type by it's armament and purpose.

The F35 series of Jet can be taken as both an interceptor, ground bomber, multirole and everything inbetween for example.

Exactly the same model of plane however.

Since when mercenaries played by military rules?
Hell they can use a tank to pull a trailer and call it an APC if they want.

My Pequod often gets his ass whooped by APC duos (mid-rocket, first-tier armor, 3rd tier engines).

if you call in the heli for support it will shoot down hinds in about 1-2 seconds with its miniguns.

How to trigger it?everytime I called in air support it just stood there and got itself shot down

If you call it in on your location, yeah he just waits for you to jump on. If you select a target (whatever you've marked) he'll come in and kill it with awesome.

If you want to use the Heli as support need to upgrade at LEAST the armor.

The dual AS missiles do a number on tanks, but won't destroy them outright. The rocket volleys do a ton of damage and are fun to watch.

Against enemy hinds best just hit it yourself. 1 recoiless rifle round will do the trick if you want to remain undetected otherwise about 1 mag from your LMG will toast the Hind.

Note: the rockets you pick up from soldiers are less powerful than the ones you can have dropped in. If you can half aim the Recoiless Rifle (aka Carl Gustov) is all you need for any of your mechanized problems.

The Mi-24 is a transport. It's also a gunship. The Mi-8 is a transport. It's also used as a gunship. The UH-60 is a transport. It's also used as a gunship.

And the only thing the F-35 is classified as is a jobs program and overpriced paperweight.

it depends on how far away you are from the LZ if you are about 30 m it will land, if you are over 30 it will just hover in place. if you are about 40 or less away it should defend its self or come help you.

yup, I am not 100% sure on the range but for the most part its been that for me too.
