Why the huey they have two other choppers that they use that are far beter the ch 46 sea king and ch 53e

Because the those two would just be flying targets for RPGs etc. The UH-1 is fits the typical "normal" sized transport helo the the Hip and Black Hawk.

Yeah, you've got my support 100%. Hueys are useful at almost any mission. :-P

No, it wasn't. It's never left US service, and the Marines will be using it until they find something they like better than the UH-1Y. :)
Cheeseman wrote:Will it shouldn't be too hard to model the Huey, since Battlefield 2 already provides a model of the AH-1 Cobra which is basically a attack helicopter based on the AH-1 Huey. In reality it shares the same rear tail, engine, transmission, and rotor system as the Huey (not to mention a similar name).
So you guys can simply access BF2's AH-1Z Super Cobras model and take the measurements of the rear end and engine design of the Cobra and use it to design the UH-1 Huey.
That's AH-1Z side-by-side with the UH-1Y you've got there. The hover infrared suppression systems and the wingtip sidewinders give it away. :)

Also, the AH-1Z model in BF2 is actually a hybrid of characteristics from the AH-1W and AH-1Z; it would be incorrect to model the UH-1s based on it. But don't worry, there are other ways. :)

Your right, I didn't see the 4 rotor system. It looked like 2 rotors at first. Any ways, it doesn't matter if its a AH-1Z or AH-1W, the UH-1 series and the AH-1s share the same rear design and depending on the model the same engine and rotor. I think its a good idea to take some of the Dimensions from the BF2 AH-1Z Super Cobra and use it to model the UH-1Y. This way they'll be the same scale in game and by looking you could then be able to tell that they're similar in design.

Which ones a Cobra and which ones a Huey?

Your right. I cannot tell any difference in the picture. Show us the unedited one too.

Bottom one is AH-1.

The swashplate is "thicker."

Not sure if it's possible, and it is only a suggestion. But wouldn't it be cool for a co-pilot or someone to be able to close the doors on the huey? Like in the merlin. If it's possible, I bet it could also be done on the Blackhawk.

Then they forget to open the doors to let people out... Besides, I don't think the doors are heavy enough to actually offer any protection.
