When performing evasive manoeuvres, most SPAAGs are also hull breakable from the turret and can be targeted safely from 2.5 to 3 km away if it hasn't detected you on radar or visual range. SPAAGs that are only armed with 20 to 40 mm automatic cannons and target-tracking modules will also have a hard time targeting you from 2 to 3 km. The faster and powerful BGM-71 I-TOW takes less than 7 seconds to destroy a target 3 km away. Keep in mind that the UH-1Cs AGMs have very limited range yet 3 km is an already decent range, but below average. When using the ATGMs, it is better to be more than 1 kilometre away from the target to avoid machine gun fire, especially from tanks armed with 12.7 mm guns, and also try to be hidden in a place where you can look, shoot-through then hide again as modern MBTs are capable of helicopter engagements such as the Soviet tanks that are armed with ATGMs that are designed to shoot down helicopters of all kinds efficiently and with precision. The typical tactic of the AH-1G where the pilot doesn't have access to ATGMs leaves them no choice but to go directly near or behind the front line will prove hard for the UH-1, since the UH-1C XM-30 is not manoeuvrable and fast enough to do it, but if the pilot hasn't unlocked the ATGMs yet, the pilot doesn't have a choice but to temporarily bring back the AH-1G tactics until the ATGMs are unlocked. Additionally the XM-30 has a 40 mm grenade launcher installed in its nose, the grenade launcher is a perfect weapon for knocking out enemy helicopters at close range. Using its AGM-22 or the BGM-71 TOW missiles, it excels at long & medium range engagements. The UH-1C XM-30 is a utility helicopter, therefore not built for speed, protection, and manoeuvrability. 38 x FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets + 2 x 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine guns (3,000 rpg = 6,000 total).The UH-1C XM-30 can be outfitted with the following ordnance: Main articles: BGM-71C Improved TOW, FFAR Mighty Mouse, XM140 (30 mm), M134 Minigun (7.62 mm)
