A Black Blackhawk?

[Razzia.be]

Well, the BH's in BF2 are grey, I find that a little stupid because the BH's irl are black.
Now my question is: Is there a skin that makes BH's black? I saw it in a stunt movie made by Sir. It was on Gulf of Oman and they all got into a black BH.

FYI The grey BH's in BF2 are actually Sea Hawks. Mostly used from the deck pad of navy vessels.

Regular Army Blackhawks are usually green, sometimes sand...depending on where they're deployed.

Army Spec Ops are black

Navy are gray

Marines are usually gray, sometimes green

Coast Guard are orange and white

The green is a dark green like the Apache's green. Over years they turn almost black. Some Apaches experience the same thing that's why some pics of them look almost black.

Yes. Except in the Navy we have Sea Hawks (SH-60).

Re: A Black Blackhawk?

US Army helicopters are traditionally named after Native American tribes e.g. Apache, Comanche, Chinook, and Kiowa. That is why the UH-60 is called the Black Hawk, it has nothing to do with its color. By the way, the UH-60 deviates a bit from this tradition; Black Hawk was an individual, not a tribe. He fought against the US in the War of 1812. He finally surrendered in the 1832.

Question.... where in the regular army were you when you saw a Desert Camo Blackhawk? They weren't in Iraq when I was there.

Oh they're real, AND they're spectacular!

Sorry for anyone that didn't get that obscure reference^^.

Seriously though, I've spent many hours in black helicopters. They're very real. Nothing sinister (well, not too much anyway ) about them.

The USMC does not use the UH-60
They use the UH-1 Huey, UH-53 (or CH-53)Super Stallion, the AH-1W Super Cobra and the CH-46 Sea Knight. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Oh yeah, the US Navy and Coast Guard designation is the SH-60 Sea Hawk, not Black Hawk, and there are some pretty sizeable differences between it and the Army counterpart.

Not entirely true. Marines operate the Whitehawk A.K.A Marine 1. Besides its a moot point anyways since the Blackhawk in BF2 clearly says Navy on the tail and the Navy/Marines pretty much go hand in hand.
