Even the marines know to have their aircraft painted in light gray for effective camouflage.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/media/4431-US-Army-160th-SOAR-Helicopters-Must-Fly-FASTER-FARTHER)

Problem Is most Heli's take the damage in the landing and taking off stages and the max speed change wont stop this. Ever since blackhawk down times we dont tend to loiter within smallarms and rpg range if you dont have to.
