The Apache Longbow was the primary attack helicopter of the Allied Forces during the Great World War II, in which it served as an anti-tank gunship.
[edit] Background
During the World War II it was equipped with heavy armor, sophisticated targeting equipment and several powerful missile launchers. Its powerful missiles and great speed enabled it to hunt enemy tanks, particularly fragile V-2 missile launchers. Other units, such as heavy tanks, were equally vulnerable because of their lack of anti-aircraft armament. And their armor meant that they could withstand at least a few volleys of missiles.
Apaches did not have sufficient armor to survive prolonged anti-aircraft fire, and thus commanders were forced to deploy them carefully. However, once deployed, the Apaches almost always were able to destroy their designated target or fulfil the mission.
