The problem there is you really need some good weapons and very good aiming to do it. Also you can't use grenades on flyers.

They are easy to down. Thing is, armor don't work like in UFO. Armor is cumulative in UFO 2000. As long as you keep hitting the same place (like front or rear) you'll go thru the armor quite quickly. Any guy with an auto setting will kill someone in a flying armor with an auto shot at blank range.
