Just woundering... If a Apache was to engage something like a ... BRDM, would it use it's 30mm or the Hellfire?
KTM21 (July 3, 2008 at 4:26 am)

this is the greatest attack helicopter in the world today! Period.... I'm from Europe and i still think that the Eurocopter Tiger is nothing compared to this beast...

there is nothing more dangeruos for an infantry unit or an armour unit then to be moving aroud a field, not suspecting anytihing, and then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, behind the trees a silent apache rises up and showers you with missles and hot lead... this is the helicopter equivalent of the word FEAR
