Switching to the USMC UH-1Y

Post by Drunkenup »

Now I have checked the *** and search, I've only found references to the Venom Huey and one actual suggestion (Pre-We-Got-The-Twin-Huey).

Now I'm pretty sure everyone knows what the Y version will bring us. 4 Rotors, New Composite tail rotors, Better engines, its faster, has a higher payload capability, more effiiciant and a larger combat radius. And seeing PR takes place in 2010-2014, the USMC would already have most of they're Aviation squadrons converted to the "Yankee" Huey. This would be a reletively simple change from the Twin Huey's Model, the Engines are larger, the Tailrotor is changed (Its the same as the AH-1z, which we already have), other small to unoticeable changes, avionics, updated FLIR, etc. Shouldn't be that much of a change, but survivability against AA would be increased.

The UH1Y shares a lot in common with the AH1Z Cobra -- as shown in this diagram. It would require remodeling the tail section of the current Huey.

I do believe in fact that that the Cobra was based off the huey? :)

Resuggestion.

Also, cosmetic change that doesn't have much affect on gameplay.

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.
