Tactics
- It's easy to take down a helicopter with a ZU-23-2. To do this one must get into a straight stafing run and fire 3 burst of rockets into the vehicle. If this fails the player is likely to be shot down.
- It is also very easy to take down the gunner with small arms fire because their sides and rear are exposed.
