The Tiger has an automatic countermeasure system against missiles. Last I heard there was a bug so afterburners could trigger it as well, but generally this sounds like a nice idea against shoulder launched missiles. You're still left with machineguns etc, but the bigger ones are similar to tanks and should thus be destroyed by the helicopter in the same way it destroys tanks, only with a bit more care and maybe distance, most AA guns don't have the same range as anti-tank missiles do. And if they do, I'd say some upgraded missiles are in order. Of course in jungles or forests, the AA can hide from long range detection but depending on the situation it won't see the helicopter either.
And then there are cities, which are not really the terrain of helicopters I'd say, but still better than using artillery if you don't want to kill civilians.
