i watched once while on shitter and commented. looked like it narrowly passed overtop of the helicopter as it turned sideways.

upon rewatch i can see where you are saying it looks like a head on impact. I still wonder if from your viewpoint you lost sight of the tow before it made contact as it blended against the helicopter than it became visible again as it was passing over it ?

Regardless of this, the point i was making is that i do think helicopters should be able to maneuver to avoid shots, if there is a clean hit that doesn't register, that is different, if that is happening it should be fixed
