I didn't play this that much back in the day, but seeing it now it looks extremely similar to LHX Attack Chopper from the same era. Same kind of displays and fonts, same kind of briefing.. Probably from the same studio I guess? Edit: Nope. LHX was not from Microprose but EA instead. Weird.
What I liked about LHX was that it was pretty versatile with its cameras and modes. You could focus the camera on enemy tanks etc.
It was very bad at actual helicopter combat though. The terrain was all flat and there was no scenery to hide in, no hills to sneak behind, no trees. The only objects were enemy tanks, camps etc. Later another game came out with a weird kind of voxel graphics, Comanche, that fixed all that.
Novalogic's one weird trick was using voxel terrains as much as possible, like Comanche or the Delta Force series. I'm not sure if "Black Hawk Down" still had a voxel level or if they have changed the secret recipe at that point.
