BOB-UP
This is a very effective attack. It is done from a masked hover and the point is to rise up over your cover and bring weapons on target then re-mask and move on. It is fairly simple just increase the throttle to ascend over the terrain, identify and destroy your targets and then descend back in to cover. They will never know what hit ‘em.

BOB-SIDEWAYS
The same as bob-up but you fly sideways out from you cover instead of popping over it

HIGH SPEED LOW ALTITUDE FLIGHT
This is best used for travel across open areas. It is done by rising in altitude slightly the pitching steeply forward to gain speed the leveling of and costing to you destination. (By raise altitude I mean from 30-45 feet not 30-300 feet)

JINKING
This is the act of making sharp and rapid sideways maneuvers to avoid fire on open ground.  Keep cool and don’t get out of control.

EVASION OF FIRE
Evasion vs. Mobile AA
The best thing to do here is to stay masked and avoid the situation all together but if you are caught in Shilka fire you can do one of two things, get lower than the Shilka or move quickly to a masked position. Don’t panic.  Make swift but controlled evasive maneuvers until masked.

Evasion vs. RPG
These aren’t much of a threat because it takes a number of shot to down you keep you eyes open because an unseen RPG man is harmful to a hovering chopper. Move to mask or send some rockets his way is all i can say.

Evasion vs. infantry
Not really a threat EXEPT when they get above you then a good shot can easily shoot you out of the cockpit. Keep your eyes open

Evasion vs. tank
The main gun can pose a problem to a hovering or on coming helicopter though it is easily avoided by moving across it. the top gun does little damage its best to mask and move out of the area.

Evasion vs. BDRM
Similar to the tank top gun strategy but this gun does more damage so be quicker in finding cover.

Evasion vs. HMMWV TOW
Keep your speed up and jink and the missile will have a hard time hitting you.

Evasion vs. Fighter
This is a scary situation. if you even survive its first pass you must move quickly to a good masking position so that your out of site when he comes around again.

Evasion vs. Stationary AA
The best thing is to quickly mask and then move out of range.

ATTACKING
When a helicopter attacks it can be very deadly in the right hands.  Hopefully every thing I’ve said up until now will prepare you for this.
Attacking vs. Tank
Accuracy is key here for you have a limited ammo supply for your hellfire missiles. Attack from low altitude and at low speed, to the rear of the tank if possible. When dealing with multi units bob-up is very effective. If you cannot engage the tank from the rear or by surprise, then you have two other options. Mask and travel to a different spot to attack and hope that the tank doesn’t figure out your strat, or get out of range and get some altitude and then come in from above.  This will prevent the tanker from taking you out of the sky with the main gun of the tank. Keep in mind though, if you use this tactic, you’re wide open for fighters to pluck you from the sky as well.  If you come across a skilled tank operator, it’s probably best to wait for him to go into terrain that hinders him and offers you plenty of room to mask and attack from safe angles. Otherwise you run the risk of exposing yourself to air attack, let alone the tank on the ground.
Attacking vs. Infantry
The most effective way to deal with theses guys is to give them a rocket salvo of 2-6 rockets in a slight sweeping motion. Attack while on the move is easy vs. infantry and bob-up is not really necessary vs. just infantry. also watch for enemy vehicles that could be with them

Attacking vs. soft vehicle (HMMWV, BDRM)
Stabilize in to a slow moving level flight and attack with large rocket salvos. For the BDRM you might want to use a hellfire but only if it’s not moving very fast

Attacking vs. fighters
Most helicopter pilots will tell you to forget about it, run and hide. Try to blast them
before they take off.  But if you really have to shoot down that MIG or F-16…

The first rule for survival in the Apache -TAKE A GUNNER!
If your gunner gets killed -drop what you are doing, and pick up another one.
If you fly alone -you deserve to get taken out.

If you hear an enemy aircraft behind you, or see tracers hit the ground in front of
you or passing by you -TAKE AGGRESIVE EVASSIVE ACTION! Pitch left and right,
throw appropriate rudder in there. Get low to the ground and try to get into some
