Some games allow attack choppers to go out to attack other choppers. This all takes a bit of imagination but it makes it easier to insert players into hot zones to keep the excitement up. Generally the pilot has to be back within 30 mins or they crash killing everyone onboard and lose the ability to use helis for several hours.
