U.S. Marines with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 775, Marine Aircraft Group 16 refuel their UH-1N Huey helicopter April 30, 2004 at Camp Taqaddum, Iraq after completing a security escort mission.
IF the devs decide to put hueys in they could use the EoD ones but they would require new skins and i think slightely new models because the vietnam era hueys look a little diffrent from todays

Just getting back in the game Riflemen, SAW Gunner, Grenaider.
Tbh, between the LB and BH the Huey is not a major necessity. The lynx should IMO be the most focused on helicopter next. Brit's don't have a light utility craft unlike all other factions.
I fully endorse this event or product. (Though in future please remember proper presentation when suggesting something as epic as the Huey.)
Should replace all USMC Black Hawks when the force is split into USMC/US Navy and US Army/USAF factions.
I agree that the lynx needs to get in a little more urgently, but the Huey should be next on the list, prefurrubly a Bell 212/UH-1N "Twin Huey" so it can be used by the US, UK and MEC.
Oh, and while I'm at it I also suggest that when the BH is remoddeled I suggest including a PLA version as it is in use with PLA SF and airborne units (which are, apparently, the ones represented in PR on several maps).

The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.
Many thanks to [R-DEV]Adriaan for the sig!

Why? We don't use it as a frontline helicopter.
The last time I checked the only unit operating them was 25 Flight Army Air Corps that operates them is support for training in Belize.
It was a support helicopter for the Gurkhas but I doubt that now.

It's the army's jungle warfare helo, perfect for at least some of the GB vs PLA maps.

No, no, no, no!
The map makers will not even bother with the Merlin or Lynx if they have the choice of the Huey because of it being American.
It is not THE British Armed Forces Jungle Warfare helicopter, if we want to debate that then twenty or so Hueys is not an argument against the mass of Lynx, Sea King, Puma and Merlin airframes witch could do the job just as good, if not better.
Welcome to the forums, MCI. A Huey is possible in the future and has been suggested before. NP, just use the search feature before making a suggestion.
