Old game similar to Return Fire [Seek and Destroy]

I've been searching the net recently for an old game I was playing when I was a kid. The closest thing I found that resembled it most was Return Fire, but after downloading it and playing it for a while, it just didn't feel right.

As I said, it closely resembled Return Fire (the first one):
- Eagle Eye perspective (Isometric?) / you could see the unit you controled from above.
- 2D
- Could control a tank or helicopter (not a jeep or Missile launcher)
- The tank could drop what I think were either mines or time bombs.
- You could buy reinforcements, one of which was a calling in air fighters to take out enemy helicopters.
- the chopper could crash on top of the enemy and destroy them
- Enemy tanks and turrets could be disarmed but not destroyed if enough damage was dealt. I remember taking pity on the poor disarmed tanks, but the game wanted me to destroy everything to move on.
- I don't remember having to aim down or up when firing, like in RF.
- Both the tank and heli were green, or camo green.
- I remember that some maps were desert and some tundra...

And that's about all I remember about the game. I really liked it, so any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Actually, if I think again, it WAS top down.
Sarge and Fire Power are too old.
I think that Seek and Destroy just might be the one.
I'll try to get it somewhere to check.

Thank you for the help. I appreciate it a lot!

EDIT: Yeah... the only version I have doesn't work on a 64 bit Windows 7 OS (obviously)... Now I only have to learn how to use DoSbox

EDIT: Done and done. I had to disable sound, but I got it to work, and it's definitely Seek and Destroy. Thank both of you very much for your help
