That...is INCREDIBLY unlikely to work.


Even if a Helicopter was flying at lower altitudes (it can easily fly above the range that you'd be able to hit it even if you had rifles) at a sluggish speed...you'd still need a mental super computer to calculate the velocity of the helicopter, and the arch of the net flying through the air to catch it.

You'd need a pretty big hole to do that...and at best, you're only going to temporarily inconcinience one tank. It's buddies are likely to hold up and cover it until it can get dug out, probably call in infantry support to.
