>No, they definitely can't! But they are much better at avoiding taking fire in the first place. From what I've read, that really depends on the terrain. The Apache, from what sources I've seen, was really designed to take on Soviet ground forces in Germany. It's a tank hunter, designed to hide around and behind rolling hills, make quick attack passes on advancing armor columns, and then get the hell out of Dodge before AA can shoot back. Unlike its Soviet counterpart, the Mi-24 "Hind", the Apache isn't very well armored. This makes it not very well suited to the sort of mission where it has to loiter in an area and provide fire support for friendly forces.
