UH-1H Huey

[[1]]

If the Huey needs any introduction, then just GTFO. It may technically be the “Iroquois” but ever since its initial and temporary HU-1 designation was first used, it has been known to everyone by the Huey monicker. The only thing more familiar than the name is its sound, which has become the universal shorthand for “helicopter noise” irrespective of what any given helo might actually sound like.

In DCS World, the UH-1H serves in role of acting as troop transport, cargo slinging platform, ground-support gunship, and general showing-off-your-skillz platform. It is by no means difficult to fly, as helicopters go, but it is the most direct and pilot-dependent way of doing so. Aside from some trimming and engine fine-tuning, there are no pilot aids to keep it straight and level, nor any hidden engine resources to keep the pilot out of trouble. Indeed, with version 2.5, long after the module's introduction, engine heating was added to the simulation, and suddenly sim pilots started to fall out of the sky in unprecedented numbers as their attempts to save themselves using engine power would instead just shred the engine completely.
