Tips
- Fuel management is critical; prioritize grabbing fuel barrels when your gauge gets low, as a dry tank instantly costs you a life.
- Save your limited heavy Hellfire missiles for dangerous targets like anti-aircraft guns, and rely on your chain gun to deal with infantry.
- Rescuing MIAs is more than just a mission objectiveโdropping them off at a designated landing zone restores your helicopter’s armor.
