In addition to the LHX prototype scout-attack helicopter, the game includes two flyable US Army helicopters – the AH-64A Apache and UH-60 Blackhawk – and (as of 1990) a prototype MV-22 Osprey (which can actually switch between helicopter and airplane control modes), any of which may be deployed against Soviet-made ground and air military equipment in the three war theaters of Libya ...

This loss can be minimized by increasing the distance between the two rotor hubs, and by elevating one hub over the ...
