Yes and no - depending on what tactics are used - what the mission
is..........

Overall - the Apache is sturdier - but less nimble, heavier and less able to
hover OGE at high altitudes.

The D model apache (longbow) has some great features that the Z model
Cobra - may or may not have - depends if they bought the MMW Radar pod....

The Z Cobra has better optics than the AH-64 (either models)....

And since the USMC uses more balanced tactics when employing their attack
helicopters - Then the army does - the Z model is probably a lot more
likely to kill bad guys and not get shot down......

If the Army can teach it's pilots to shoot while moving - and if the Apache
has the capability to do that then yes the Apache is as good as or better
than the Cobra.....

Is the new Marine Corps cobra as good as the apache?
