Unless you bird is 49er AAFSS with steel armour resistant to 12.7mm that would blunt even the biggest VC Scorpio (Ed: proper Roman term). Since military helicopters have not been made obsolete on the battlefield thanks to a revival in siege engines I don't think this is a really serious threat.The 49er's prop may be vulnerable to damage from direct ahead and direct aft but that's better than the rotor heads of all helicopters which are vulnerable to all angle fire except from directly below. Since the pilot can control this limited zone of vulnerability by just not flying right into or away from AA guns its a much, much better surviability issue than a helicopter.
