Flying Tips

Use your altitude to avoid fire, as your helicopter is the most manoeuvrable in this axis.
   
When you're firing on moving objects, try ‘leading’ the target by firing at where it’ll be when your shot reaches the floor.
   
Flying high is good as it gives you plenty of time to react to incoming fire, but remember, it’s harder to hit targets with rockets and grenades.
   
If a target is close to your helicopter, sometimes it’s quicker to drop down rather than pulling back to line up your guns on it.
   
When avoiding tank fire, try and feel the rhythm of its fire and move accordingly.
   
Don’t waste rockets and missiles on ‘soft’ targets like troops and jeeps, save them for the heavier targets like tanks.
   
Explosive weapons have a blast radius, use this factor when blowing up VC camps by placing your shot between targets, thus killing 2 birds with one stone and conserving ammo.
   
In escort missions, get yourself between your escortee and any aggressors, they’ll always fire on the closest target.
