All of its problems are fixed, but sadly at the cost a quite a few lives. Even though it makes a poor helo, and it makes a poor airplane, its combination of these two things really makes it invaluable on the battlefield. I can see why commanders want it in action, it gives the enemy little time to react when troops are on station now versus 20 mintues from now. It is a strategic asset for what it can do.
