Avionics An Avionics hit results in losing the radar and some fire control
equipment. You cannot fire missiles in LOBL FCR mode if you
have avionics damage.
Rotor Rotor damage causes the rotor to lose power, lowers its maximum
torque, and can cause vibrations and eventual failure.
(Rotor damage is ignored in Easy flight mode.)
Drive Train The drive train affects the tail rotor and its ability to offset the
main rotor torque. If damaged, it will require constant right pedal
input to offset this torque. (Drive train damage is ignored in
Easy flight mode.)
MFD This means that one or both MFDs are damaged. A damaged MFD
will go dark and display the word MALFUNCTION. Of course,
if both MFDs are damaged, you can’t see the damage MFD.
PNVS This is the Pilot’s Night Vision System. If it’s damaged, IHADSS
mode, thermal mode, and zoom mode do not work in the Pilot’s
Cockpit. The cannon is only able to fire fixed forward in LOS
mode, but is not affected in TADS mode.
TADS If the Target Acquisition and Designation System is damaged,
IHADSS mode, thermal mode, and zoom mode do not work in the
Gunner’s Cockpit or the ORT cockpit. Weapons cannot be placed
in TADS mode. Additionally, the laser range finder and designator
no longer function, preventing you from firing any laser
guided missiles.
Weapons This reports damage to the fire control system in the helicopter.
Depending on the severity of the damage, the Air to Air Missiles,
Anti-Tank Guided Missiles, or both can be unusable. If you try to
use a damaged weapon, MALFUNCTION appears in your
IHADSS display.
Gun The cannon is disabled. If you try to use a damaged weapon,
MALFUNCTION appears in your IHADSS display.
Weapon Stub This message results from damage to the weapon pylons on one
Wings of the stub wings. A damaged wing can prevent you from firing
weapons mounted on that wing.
