A great helicopter for both the beginner and experienced pilot.

About the real helicopter:

The Apache was first used in combat during the 1989 invasion of Panama, Operation Just Cause. Apache AH-64 and AH-64Ds have played important roles in several Middle Eastern wars, including the Gulf War, Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. The Apaches were proven to be excellent tank hunters and also destroyed hundreds of armored vehicles (mainly of the Iraqi army).

During Operation Desert Storm, nine AH-64s carrying an asymmetrical load of Hydra 70 flechette rockets, Hellfires, and one auxiliary fuel tank each, and guided by four MH-53 Pave Lows, were used to destroy a portion of the Iraqi radar network to allow bomber aircraft into Iraq without detection. This was the first attack of Desert Storm. Recent reports indicate that the helicopter is vulnerable to ground forces in certain environments. Similarly, the Apache has been shown to be vulnerable to infantry when operating in urban terrain. During the Second Gulf War, Iraqi ground troops and insurgents were able to damage propulsion and flight control systems with ground-fire, sometimes forcing the helicopters to make immediate emergency landings. During the Operation Iraqi Freedom, some Apaches were damaged in urban combat areas including one captured near Karbala by Iraqi troops in March of 2003 and paraded on Iraqi television. The captured helicopter was destroyed via airstrike the day after it was captured.

There are various factors that contribute to these occurrences. First, Apaches were designed to engage and destroy armor at safe ranges, where they could not be fired upon. Secondly, infantry are less easily detected than armor. In Iraq, the close-quarters, and ample cover afforded by the urban environment make it easy for ground forces to attack at close ranges (50 - 850 m). This environment brought out the Apache's vulnerability to close range attacks from heavy caliber machine guns (0.5 inch). Also, since the Apache is only capable of firing at a single target at a time, it is vulnerable when attacked from several dispersed positions. Combat utility helicopters like the UH-60 Black Hawk may not suffer this disadvantage, as they have multiple manned side armaments, adding extra protection in certain tactical situations. However, the relative effectiveness of utility helicopters is debatable when taking into account other factors like the Apache's superior maneuverability, armament, and speed. In either case, the Apache's use in both attack and support roles in urban environments has proven effective. Apaches have been successful working in support roles with ground troops, and as an observation platform for directing artillery. Despite the Apache's vulnerability in urban operations, it is currently rated as the most survivable of all military helicopters. The vast majority of Apache helicopters that have taken heavy combat damage have been able to continue their assigned missions and return safely to their bases.
