The change in VC tactics exposed a major weakness of the Aircat: the fiberglass hull offered no protection against gunfire or shrapnel. Standard defensive tactics for the Aircat were to "avoid becoming decisively engaged," i.e. to dodge enemy fire and perform offensive actions. The Aircat was also modified to defend against the piano wire traps by welding a large piece of iron to the gun mount that would protect the Aircat crew from the wire. The Aircat's hull was durable otherwise: it withstood ordinary damage and cross-country travel easily. It was also much sturdier than the wooden sampans used by the enemy Viet Cong; Aircats used ramming attacks against sampans to great effect. In one November 1965 battle involving three Aircats battling a VC platoon embarked on sampans in Kien Tuong province, considered "a classic instance of successful employment of an airboat unit" by the Army Concept Team in Vietnam (ACTIV), ramming attacks were responsible for about half of VC casualties and sampan losses. No Viet Cong survived the battle. A downside of the Aircat was the level of additional training that it demanded from operators, gunners, and repair personnel. Almost every aspect of operating the Aircat proved to require substantial training. Learning the basics of operating an Aircat took two weeks, although ARVN troops often took longer to reach the desired level of competence. Learning to sail in formation and execute tactical maneuvers would take ARVN troops an additional three weeks. Gunners and riflemen also had to receive training in firing at moving targets while moving towards, laterally, and away from the targets. Any engine maintenance required bringing in scarce aircraft mechanics. As ACTIV wrote, "Even the most elementary engine repair work required the attention of a skilled mechanic." Though US and South Vietnamese forces had fiberglass-repair capabilities at the unit level, they lacked the ability to do extensive electrical or engine repair, which was often required because the Aircats were initially built with commercial off-the-shelf electrical and drive system components that did not hold up well in Southeast Asian conditions. ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #5015 **********************************************
