I've been trying to counter the stealth helis with Rao because others have said it's possible to counter them with him, either I'm doing it wrong (definite possibility) or he really is the most useless specialist of the bunch (in my opinion, he IS useless) and there just doesn't seem much you can do to counter them with a half decent pilot at the controls.
I think when you use the laser-designator (SOFLAM) on them, then whether they are in stealth-mode or not, you should be able to target them.
If your team is not helping, then Rao is less usefull. But, not useless. You can't take it down. But you can consistently block and frustrate the pilot. This can help slow his attack runs and it still helps your team hold and defend objectives. It just doesn't do as much for your position on the leaderboard though, unless teammates help and shoot it down. The only reward for constant peek-a-boo is teamwork.
I've been almost exclusively running Rao and often with AA missle. Far too often I'm keeping consistent hack and getting 2-3 hits. But the rest of the team is doing absolutely nothing to help against the air. All it would take is another running AA missle or even SOFLAM, and then a couple infantry with recoiless to look up. Too many clueless players. I'm certain there are a ton of players that don't even realize the recoiless will lock-on to air when laser designated.

let the helo go ham for a few min, stop hacking and let people get killed, then when you see people start shooting at the helo start hacking again. they have to have a reason to shoot at it

Lol. Good point. Have to think like a sheep.
