  1. While it is very capable. I've heard it seems to have targeting issues, aquiring, and hunting issues. I guess even the M version isn't that great relative to western targeting systems. Right now the majority of their missions are just being rocket artillery since they are so vulnerable to MANPADs. (I'm under the belief ALL helicopters are really vulnerable). Countries including the US need to make helicopters snipers and more indirect fire capabilities at range. Being able to kill over 5km out more often would be key to use terrain as cover against a MANPAD counterstrike. If helicopters could have AI target for them while the gunner just had to touch a touchscreen with the video and graphic overlays on it? That would be cool. That way a helicopter could come in and blitz targets, unloading at different targets in minutes. The military really needs to take a peak at video game controls and overlays(graphics). Also a trophy system. Alright I'm dreaming!
