There wasn't camo netting in the rules back then -- we had to make stuff up (the total -5 to shoot a "concealed" ped -- -3 for the ped, then another -2 for partial cover -- made it hard enough).
My solution, as such, involved a 1-man helicopter, and a Passenger with grenades. A _Micromedic_ can be used for this; if one is willing to risk it, having Passengers with grenades on the Skid Stretchers in addition to the Passenger inside the hull makes for a fairly-impressive improvised bomber on-the-cheap. (For a particularly nasty variant: Have the 'copter "dust" the footsloggers, *then* give them the grenades.) Then there's what evolved into the "EDSEL _Snapdragon_" for "The Death of EDSEL": Univ.-turret MG w/ Explosive ammo, plus a pair of CB15s....
