I don't think a huey would fit in the "conflict of 2008" realm.

Nothing like that. Whatsoever.

Why wouldn't a Huey model fit in the "conflict of 2008"?

i don't understand how asking for a medivac huey and getting a medivac blackhawk is nothing like it whatsoever.

And I don't think a Huey would fit because in 2008 most will be used in training only as part of the upgrade program of AH-1's and UH-1's started in 1997

Re: Give me a Huey please...

The Blackhawk and Huey are both two different birds, designed by two different manufacturers. They are different in all dimensions of size, power, maximum endurance and agility.

UH-1's are Huey models... Are you saying that the UH-1s will be used for the training program? I'm not clear on what you're saying...

I am aware of the differences between the two whirlie-birds. I was simply giving you an example from Desert Combat (a popular modification of Battlefield 1942). In this mod, we had a medivac chopper (albeit it was a bh and not a huey). I was just using my picture as a "something like this you mean?" reference.

And yes, UH-1's will be taken out of active service and be used in a training program. The USMC only has 107 in inventory.

The more I read though, the more it seems they are still used in support roles in the military (though mainly ship to ship). The reason i say 2008, is because this is when BF2 allegedly takes place.

"The UH-1N is a twin-piloted, twin-engine helicopter used in command and control, resupply, casualty evacuation, liaison and troop transport. The Huey provides utility combat helicopter support to the landing force commander during ship-to-shore movement and in subsequent operations ashore.he aircraft can be outfitted to support operations such as command and control with a specialized communication package (ASC-26), supporting arms coordination, assault support, medical evacuation for up to six litter patients and one medical attendant, external cargo, search and rescue using a rescue hoist, reconnaissance and reconnaissance support, and special operations using a new navigational thermal imaging system mission kit."

Also, here is the source for the upgrade program initiated in 1997:

I'm not sure why you and hueys are so much in love and cuddly, but...

In BF2, a FAC inside a huey with a commander would have a lifetime of what... 2.. 3 seconds?

Whatever.

judging from his avatar and the fact that the syntax seems to be tail markings for a mustang aircraft - i'd say he's a pilot.

Then he may be better off with a chopper-sim than BF2 :)

Mustang as in the P-51 variety? Possible although that is a civi serial.

Re: Give me a Huey please...

You want to be commander...in a chopper with no defense? So the J-10's and things of the sort can blow you out of the sky every 3 minutes? Good plan!

LOL, not the BF:V hueys, those things had better handling than a j-10.

i googled it and it was the civi serial # of a famous mustang that is now at the RAF museum.

Re: Give me a Huey please...

I love hueys, I wouldn't mind having one in bf2 but a mod only. It would just be out of place in game since they're from the hippie era.
