Hi.
This game is amazing, i'am having a blast.

I'am currently playing the Big red one campaign against the AI, in the scenario 3, i noticed the following :

The soviet have a decent Helo force, but during the scenario, All the helo moved to the box in the following screen and waited.
I was frightened that maybe they will attack near the end of the scenario, creating havoc for a final assault (or being coordinated to attack with ground forces), but near the end of the scenario, they returned home and did nothing else.

The officer should be disciplined. Maybe something to check.

I also encountered this a number of times. The helos would fly to their objective and then sit on it like mother hens, shooting at anything they see, but not moving or doing anything else while my stinger teams crept up on them. I figure they're supposed to conduct an air-assault and disembark infantry, before flying around the US backfield and exploiting, but this never happens and instead they loiter over that one area.

Air assaults are not in the game yet. Depending on the battle plan the Soviets have, the helos may be looking to defend an area, being used as recon (depending on the type of helo), or hunting in a restricted manner. Also possible the command cycle was long enough they never received new orders before the game ended.
