Very nice video. Personally I rather sit in fast and agile attack chopper than in slow-moving but highly armored tank.

Personally I'd rather sit in an IFV...but that's a matter of taste. tuner

The Helicopter has much better chances is staying undetected and moving away from the fight fast enough.
So in most cases it will score the kill before the armour can even react.

In a duel situation...my money will be on the tank (esp. with state of the art FCS like the M1A2).
Sabot round is just much faster then anything the Heli can spit out neaner

... but still I think that there were more armored vehicles kills by choppers than vice-versa.

there more tanks then choppers around to shoot at. That part of the quota. And the liklyhood that YOUR tank gets hit is lower. Teamwork gives the enemy other people to shoot at wink Anyway, picking at choppers is not the tanks job...thats what AD-units are for.


Ok Ok, i do admit that 8 out of 10 the chopper will win as he can strike first (and likely undetected) and has a much longer engagement range.
