At the second attempt we positioned better (not on top of your heads hehe, that went rather bad when we crashed on you), back to the west (I think). From there we could fire all our (eight) Hellfire missiles outside the enemy weapon range. The mistake was that after we depleted our missiles we advanced forward, and got shot down. I suggest that in the next attempt we will hold at the back, fire the missiles and wait for the attacking infantry to get closer, we can engage them with 20mm from that range. Can be useful against light armour such as the BMPs.
Maybe the helo could hang back a bit to the West and still be able to take out the tanks as they approach without being as vulnerable to AA?

With hindsight, I wish I'd stayed there supressing and kept one AT guy with me to take a shot at the vehicles whilst I told everyone else to keep running for the trees, as they might have made it before the helo engaged us. Ain't hindsight a bitch Â
