rock45: Just remember that anything that can be dropped from the air or shot out of a cannon that goes boom, also can have various fuse settings depending on terrain and need.
Also, sometimes, when shells or bombs are set to go on impact and hit tall trees and such, that actually adds to the casualty production capability by turning the tree tops into even more shrapnel.
Helos are mucho beneficial in such terrain because land nav can be a horrible pita and the ability to fly over terrain that's between where your guys are at and where they need to be is a huge force multiplier. Add to that fast transport the concepts of enhanced logistics support and modern helos able to perform as mobile gun and rocket platforms and its pretty easy to see that "more the merrier" rule can apply. |
