I think that the last go-round showed the limitation of the choppers. Small arms fire is not very useful against the bucket bottom of an A-10. I have never seen them in battle, but I have seen them doing manuevers that most piper cub pilots could not match. As an anti-tank weapon, they are, I hear, quite "useful."

Agreed. As I recall the 101st was roughed up trying to use them in the attack.
