@MrKnoxguy101 eh the rewards are they are blindly lobbing rockets which isn't really that effective... Maybe if they had some type of ballistic computer to get close the sector I could see it. They don't seem to be using them in tandem with other assessts which I believe is the bigger overall issue.

I wonder how much advantage the jungle gave the Vietcong. Like did the jungle work for helicopters or against them. Especially curious with modern optics found on helicopters. On one hand spotting someone in the jungle is hard but that foliage also gives YOU cover as most infantty missile systems cannot penetrate foilage. Same thing though the enemy can use it as cover and use locations where they have LoS. Nothing like having a 25 to 57mm blasting though the canopy at ya I suppose.

@HyperboreanAnchovy44 I know what it is. Are you going to say it is an accurate way to fight? I saw reports where they just randomly sent it with seemingly no regard to what they were hitting completely missing anything or being far off. Do the pilots have enough training or enough time to do it properly? It isn't easy to do especially when you know the enemy may have missiles. They would just fly low, lob em, and turn around while using flares.

@HyperboreanAnchovy44 Didn't realize they had a system that calculated it for it. Wonder how it looks and works by the crew. I can see the usage but from the reports a lot of times it seems to be ineffective. Like they are missing their sectors ineffective. Of course you don't want to be sitting around. That's just blatantly dumb regardless of what weapon they are using it. Like I said they havent been using their helicopters effectively from all reports. Admittedly it's harder to find non biased information but there is a video of a Russian soldier complaining about it while being shelled themselves.
