Answer 1

Well, the newer Cobras can mount the Hellfire missile, but either way the venerable TOW missile is just as lethal against Armour. Each Cobra can carry eight TOW or Hellfire missiles, plus rockets. The Apache can carry sixteen Hellfire missiles. So for tank killing power one Apache is the equivalent of two Cobras, not five. If you add in extra points for the Apache's larger cannon, you could say the Apache is equal to three Cobras, but beyond that it's very hard to justify. So you and your friend are both wrong.

Answer 2

all depends on what model and weapon load-out you're talking about.  a longbow is rather more impressive than older apaches, and a zulu cobra is a long way from its' Vietnam-era brothers

Answer 3

well it might be true due to cobra s shape it may be able to dodge rpg weapons a lot easier than the apache gunship can & ive heard some rumours about apache targeting systems not being too effective

Answer 4

five Cobras equal to two and half Apache payloads.

the Supercobra is able to carry eight Hellfires /source: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/ah...

the TOW missiles are still more than satisfactory effective.

Five aircraft give the enemy four more possible targets thus reducing the risc of each individual craft.

Speaking about most tasks available for helicopters today, a flight of Cobras is deadlier than one Apache.
