@quickscope2011 From what I can remember, the helicopters failed because of the harsh winter conditions, not because of enemy fire.

@TheMachinegunWay Maybe not but probably. Griffons are more maneuverable, smaller target and carry less. During Falkland War the British learned that big helicopters where a disaster. They almost had half their SAS force wiped out due to a helicopter crash. They later figured it will be best to have smaller choppers and more of them so if one get hit it won't be KO punch.
