Some rotor craft are much harder to land on a water based pad. The Bell 47 or MD500/Loach compared to something like an HH53 is much easier to get tossed around and are much more intensive with small adjustments. The 47 doesn't even have auto-throttle. The Little Bird is a blast though. I was always jealous of the pilot that flew the more difficult scenes in Magnum PI. Roger Mosley was a certifies rotorcraft pilot and flew a lot himself.
You did well landing that bucket on the front of the ship. I have a hard time landing on the back of a frigate or something. Front would be worse.
