Ha! Wait till you hear about scout helicopters.

  • no armor, no 120mm, still consumes as much fuel as armored vehicles
  • Any hit to any rotor (big or small) takes it out
  • Any damage to the thin tail boom can cause a crash
  • Cockpit not just exposed and vulnerable, but can also easily be hit from the ground
  • Flies low and slow so they get shot easily
  • Cannot operate high in the mountains because of thin air
  • Cannot operate too close to the ground because of sand in engines and optics
  • Is inherently unstable and constantly trying to kill all occupants
  • Literally became useless the moment drones were invented
