Helicopters

The new Cold War turned hot wargame from On Target Simulations, now expanded with the Player's Edition! Choose the NATO or Soviet forces in one of many scenarios or two linked campaigns. No effort was spared to model modern warfare realistically, including armor, infantry, helicopters, air support, artillery, electronic warfare, chemical and nuclear weapons. An innovative new asynchronous turn order means that OODA loops and various effects on C3 are accurately modeled as never before.

Helicopters

Post by Gratch1111 »

How do I position them?

1/ keeps getting shot down by enemy SAM
2/ Why wont they fire at enemy helicopters? Had no AA/SAM but thought that my AH-64s would shoot down some Mi-24 but they just backed of and the Mi-24 just Went all around the map cause no one would shoot them down.

I actually keep my birds behind the frontline trace a klick or two, then they form a mobile and fast lateral reserve. I lost too many when I actually put them out front to scout.

Of course, if you're not seeing many radar traces, you can be a bit more brazen with them.

Just remember MANPADs and a number of IR based systems don't use radars. [;)]
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

True. Hence "a bit more brazen." [8D]
