True, in Nam they probably did fly low (I wasn't there, or born, so I can't comment)
But they were flying low, really really low. You just try to hit a thunderhawk going mach 2
at angels 30 (Or something like that, too much Falcon 3.0 for me) with better armour then
your average military chopper with a gun, that in all realism, barely goes furthur then a
football field (If you remember the whole discussion about the Battle of Waterloo) That is
an entirely different story.

But, untill me and whoever I am playing pull back our heads and flair our nostrils in
disgust at a hideously stupid rule we just discovered, I will be playing mostly core rules
(Unless I'm playing a campaign, then I'll use campaigne rules.) I paid my 103.50 .CA, and
I'm going to play with what I bought
