Continuing to try to come up with a strategy to engage helicopters in air-to-air combat: The initial merge is critical. Head-on against the Mi-24 Hind is a suicide. Hiding doesn't work all that well either. Seems like flying fast and keeping the enemy helo at your 2 or 10 o'clock position until the merge makes it difficult for the opponent (at least for the AI) to target you. Once merged, it depends on your skills and the abilities of your airframe. In this video, I'm applying what I learned to engaging a Ka-50 and a Mi-24. Enjoy!

Oh, they do. If you go head-to-head with the AI, you are dead (been there many times). If you manage to evade/survive the merge and manage to land a hit, then they "run". I think the AI is programmed to try and open the distance before they re-engage. Depending on the helo, that's actually a good strategy (e.g. the Hind). The trick is to get them before they open the distance. Once they have their nose on you, it's "game over". Of course, with real people, the rules of the game will be totally different. In fact, my main interest is purely academic - what's the best strategy to engage another helo. Highly unlikely real world scenario, but interesting to thing about... Cheers! :D

That was not a fight. The K50 did not make any evasive or attack maneuvers

That's the AI in DCS. If it gets its nose on you, it's game over - it has terminator-like precision (trust me, I know...). But if you manage to hit it, then it stops engaging and tries to open the distance. As long as you stick with it, you will get it eventually - just don't let it turn around.
