50% Defence penalty. The heli has half its normal defence when attacked by a
unit with the Fighter flag(Stealth and Fighter units only in the default
rulest), along with a firepower penalty. Bombers do not get any advantage!

Makes sense. A heli stands no chance at all against a jet fighter, but I don't
see a bomber as having superiority over a heli. It is also part of the holy
process of Civ 2 compatability. Nothing can be permitted to stand in the way
;).

As in certain cults it is possible to kill a process if you know its true name.
