I don't think DICE gave a damn while making it, actually

Doesn't EA have a version included in the files somewhere where it has two large external fuel pods hanging off the sides? I wouldn't be against an un-armed version of the blackhawk if it meant it carries 1 or 2 more people ?

USMC doesn't use the Blackhawk. Only branch that doesn't.

would it be possible to re-skin the "Sea Hawk" to make it a "Black Hawk"
i dont think the marines use the Sea Hawk in Iraq
just re paint it black

The Marines generally dont use the regular UH-60 Blackhawk. Instead they use the MH-60S (looks like a regular UH-60 in grey) and the UH-1Y.

UH-60L/M = Blackhawk - Army utility helicopter
MH-60S = Knighthawk - Navy utility/multi-role helicopter
MH-60R = Seahawk - Navy ASW helicopter

affirmative

They use the UH-1N Twin Huey. Isn't it planned to be ingame at some point?

well the UH-1Y Huey is a WIP to replace the blackhawk for USMC... so just gotta deal with the blackhawks for now

Yea, when is this coming. I've been drooling for it ever since they said they were going to put it in.

Some Singleplayer mods like NAW and Allied Intent have a "battlehawk" cept its not that good.

The bird has different nicknames as different roles as for Army's "Blackhawk", Navy's "Seahawk", and Airforce's "PaveHawk". The Marines do not have a blackhawk which i think in PR could be replaced with huey. DICE made a bad model/skin of the Black/Sea Hawk, and the miniguns are also unrealistic as only the 160th SOAR use miniguns.

USI made a sexy skin for a Blackhawk

A Blackhawk is used by the Army. Blackhawks also dont have miniguns except for the 160th. I think the PR team is plan to have a huey for marines.

Been discussed before, folks. Please do a search.

The Marines do not operate the MH-60S Knighthawk, and have made it clear for the past couple of decades that they do not want the H-60 for the combat utility role, hence the development of the UH-1Y. The only Blackhawk/H-60 variant the Marines operate is the VH-60N for presidential and other VIP transport. But as said before, they will hitch rides with USAF Pavehawks, US Army Blackhawks and US Navy Seahawks/Knighthawks, and have done so quite often. The uniforms may be different but they're all on the same team.

Miniguns are not used on helicopters only by the 160th, but they are rare in the regular Army aviation units. USAF uses them on their Pavehawks and Pave Lows and the Marines and Navy have them in inventory as well.
