Correct with a twist! Some soviet/russian transport helos can provide decent support to the troops (compared to their western counterparts). So if you're approaching a "hot" landing zone the player
may consider the option to proceed with the landing rather then getting the hell(icopter) outa there! But in most cases transport helos must be treated as "fragile" units (more so when they're loaded).
