Helicopter tactics

United States helicopters trade fuel and altitude for logistical tempo. Pilot, Crew chief, and Door gunner kits share responsibility: scanning treelines, juggling wounded pickup calls, guarding supplies infantry cannot truck through deltas. NVA/VC Anti-Tank kits and emplaced AAA punish predictable flight paths—rotate ingress headings after every insertion. NVA tunnels described in tunnel warfare reposition rocket teams quicker than helicopters rearm. Pair every hot LZ with binocular overwatch from Spotters or infantry squads spotting muzzle flashes.

Supply runs win longer matches than flashy strafes. Drop crates where Supports and Medics can chain redeploy waves, coordinate with Commander cooldowns from our command playbook. Use river fog or ridgelines as natural masks while patrol boats fight for crossings underneath you. Brief gunners before takeoff on sectors mortars already blanket so weapon streams do not collide with artillery timers.
