Armor and damage

Main health is 400 HP. The engine has 200 HP, the fuel tank 200 HP, the main rotor 400 HP and the tail rotor 300 HP.

Rifle rounds do 7.5% of their damage against the hull. Bullets that hit the fuel tank take an extra 200%. Rockets that hit the tail or tail rotor take an extra 200%.

Hits needed to destroy the main health. These counts are derived by simulating the damage rules with full-power, point-blank, standard (FMJ) hits; they are estimates from the data, not measured in game:

Ammunition Hits to destroy
5.56 mm rifle 191
7.62×54 mm rifle 122
.308 Win 264
.50 cal 60
20×102 mm cannon 71
30 mm cannon 7

The data does not say which of the two seats fires the miniguns. The seats are a driver and one active passenger.
