Effective, no.  Distracting, yes.  I targeted my enemy's orca with an apache
when the orca was grounded.  He took off.  But the apache followed the orca
until it landed and resumed firing.  He took off again.  And again.  And
again.  He had no air defense set up - it was early in the game. 
Eventually, the orca got blown up, but while he was vainly trying to save
it, he wasn't doing anything else.
