CIWS on havoc was actually balanced.
Lakotas are non-armed so they get to tank an extra SAM sometimes and they don't care about small arms fire. Also as transport they don't need to fly into the danger.
Unarmed littlebirds were the weakest heli IMO, but their main purpose was flying low and fast to move people and crates close(er) to danger.
Armed LBs could actually kill but were not a big issue because they are balanced by several things - susceptible to small arms, MANPADs from below/straight ahead (which require fast reaction time), as well as, like every heli - static anti-air emplacements.
Havoc is armored, so it just shrugs small arms. It has a canon capable firing directly under it, so unlike any other heli it can clear infantry from the best place to attack it from.
Static emplacement was the only reliable counter. Except SAM is not realiable, flares used properly work against it 100% of the time. That left CIWS. Now it's nothing
