Make a UH-1 Huey

[MDRZulu]

I think alot of people would agree that a Huey with an M-60 and open both doors open would be great. It is still used and it was even more used in 1985. I think it would just be awesome if you got an authentic sound for it and you could here it coming. Also it would be cool if you made some dust blow up when the choppers are landing.

[Cane]

Zulu, you're d*amn right, a huey is missing, this chopper is used since vietnam. but forget the idea about the dust blowing up

[AA Aussie Shooter22]

By 1985, the UH-1 Huey wasn't used in a major way by the U.S. millitary. However, it was used by many third world armies and by civilians. So make it a resistance/civilian weapon

[Vegabond]

It will be in the Vietnam mod

[NVA Killer]

the Huey is still being used. It was used in the Gulf War and if you noticed on TV when the plane crashed into the Pentagon there was a Huey packed on the lawn

[MP]

The best f**king idea I've ever seen up here...

*bump*

[MP]

*bump*

[NVA Killer]

riight..............what kind of huey anyways? they had hueys with remote machineguns, some with rockets, some with door gunners, some with grenade launchers on the nose, or just plane old troop transport?

[Die Alive]

There could only be one gun shooting on any vehicle or aircraft, so therefore, could only be one door gunner on a huey, therefore, it would be a small version of the blackhawk.  As for a Huey gunship, there's a AH-64 and the cobra, plus the Blackhawk with rockets and the Kiowa with 14 rocktes, I think there's enough flying rocket platforms out there as it is.  I'd rather see these aircrafts with possible different weapon systems, such as miniguns or gun pods than just another aircraft.  But yeah, a Huey would be cool, but I guess we'll have to wait for Operation Vietnam.

-=Die Alive=-

[Rifleman]

i totally agree
i would like to see a transport huey with a m60 in the door and 2 m60s if they get the "only 1 gun fireing at a time" thing fixed
i would also like to see a loach for spec ops missions
and maybe a bell-47 for the resistance hehe

well i hope the release the SDK soon then we can have what ever we want

[AA Aussie Shooter22]

The U.S. Millitary wasn't using it during the Gulf. Some of the other Coalition forces were

[MDRZulu]

Is there anything new about the SDK or any 3rd party ones being developed?

[NVA Killer]

Aussie US forces were still using the huey, not as widely as the UH60 models, but still was being used

[BlueJames]

how about a Huey with a minigun and rockets with the ability to transport just a few men

[DVII]

A transport Huey like in Tour of Duty with an m60.
And i'd love to be the gunner.

[azraelthe32nd]

the US Marine Corps still uses the huey. i dont think they even use the blackhawk. just hueys and chinooks for transport

[NVA Killer]

marines still use the cobra but now its called the Super Cobra/Sea Cobra

[Stag]

US marines use the twin engined UH1N even now. Their other transports are the CH46 Sea Knight, same layout as the chinook, but smaller, and the CH53 Seastallion and Superstallion. But hueys are common as muck the world over.

There is a saying; "When the last Blackhawk goes to the boneyard, it will arrive there slung under a huey."

I think they'll be around for a while yet.

[NVA Killer]

actually, probably most likely slung under a chinook, they use chinooks to carry things of that sort more often. In OFP a chinook would be cool, but i hate it as a helicopter, first off it basically needs a running start before taking off completly, it has no armor, and its not that fast

[Furia]

The UH-1 Huey was in wide use on the US army on the 80's. It took long time to replace them all. You can bet that many units had it on 1985. The UH-60 was quite new by then and was gradually replacing the venerable UH1.
It would be wonderful to have it on the game.
What It was not flying by 1985 was the Warrior OH58.
The Kiowa was in use them. It is basically the same airframe but lacks the optics and harware. It also have a different rotor and some other stuff (for not going into detailsm like engine......)
What I do feel is that we have to make even the forces strengt with the russian equipement.
BIS can also add the MI-2 for reccon purposes and the Ka-29 or the latest versions of the Mi24.
BTW the new addon is for weapons that did not exist by 1985 like the GS36 (nice assault rifle)

[WTFonslaught]

ahah.. I was just about to re-start one of the Huey threads here (there have been a heap, but most are so old I cant find them when searching anymore).

The Huey would be ideal for this game.. mainly as a troop transport... Id prefer not to see it armed with rockets, but with M60 either side would be hella cool.

Personally I'd like to see the UH-1H (upgraded 1D) variant, which was the longer bodied one. The 1N had the pointy nose, which looked s**te imho.

Please BIS add the Huey! I can hear that heavy rotor sound already http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif



(Edited by WTFonslaught at 4:04 am on Nov. 26, 2001)

[Frizbee]

AUstralia still uses them too... bloody slow things though, and you can hear them coming for miles... but they look and sound cool..

BIS could still put a m-60 on each door... just have one inoperative... or have the gunner able to change positions by pressing space... (ie. change weapon)

[Scooby]

Its just one of the worthless additions I hope not to see as addon...

Well said Scooby

[Deathbysaw]

Well I am in the US ARMY and I see 3-4 Hueys a day. They are maily used for medical evacs and stuff like that around here. Our Air Assult school uses them and so does are OPFOR here and at Ft Irwin. I am at Ft Polk. I am pretty sure almost every base still uses Hueys.

[NVA Killer]

i am near Ft. Eustis(US Army Transportation HQ aka Ft. Useless) and ive seen hueys a few times, mostly Chinooks, and sometimes black hawks and then sometimes helicopters from Norfolk Naval Base

[Devildog815]

First, the Marine Corps uses the UH-1, CH-46, CH-56, AH-1W. I would like all of them. Second, the US has used the UH-1 since Vietnam and still uses them today although not as much as more modern A/C. would also like more US Marine units even if the change is small. My two cents, take it or leave it.

[NVA Killer]

ive posted a suggestion of adding the AAV, ive heard the military's version of OFP will have the AAV

[Deathbysaw]

What isthe AAV? is it the LAV? A lLAV would be great in the game.

[frk19732001]

the huey would be great but but the us side already has a lot of helicopters compare to the russians

[NVA Killer]

an AAV is an Amphibious Attack Vehicle, the turret is many a MK19 and M2(in 1 turret) it can be out fitted with 2 M2's instead of an MK19 also.

[WTFonslaught]

sort of off topic.. maybe to balance the large variety of US choppers, they could maybe produce more derivates of the Hind ?

I'd love to see a kit-out pre-screen much the same as the "gear" section pre-game, allowing you to arm a chopper as needed... (like extra boxes of ammo for door gunners etc..)

[Ir0n 3agl3]

They use a modified version of the Cobra... it has 2 engines.. hellfires, and they are using a newer version with some Apache features


(Edited by Ir0n 3agl3 at 1:50 am on Nov. 29, 2001)

[NVA Killer]

eeeeeeer right, they are called Super Cobras/Sea Cobras, as i said earlier

Screw the russians they can get a KA-52 or something and how is a Huey going to un-balance anything as long as it ins't a gunship.

[NVA Killer]

"OMG! A HELICOPTER WITH NO ARMOUR! WE ARE SO SCREWED!!!"

[Deathbysaw]

No comments on the LAV?

[GFX707]

This is idiotic.


You want ANOTHER helicopter. For the US.

There is already a blackhawk in the game, it serves the exact same purpose, so shut up and use that.

Not to mention the fact that the US already has FIVE helicopters....

[NVA Killer]

so what? EAST has 3 amphibious armor, use only has 1, sure, a LAV would even it out some

[Deathbysaw]

If it exist and can be put in the game it should be put in it.

[Ignacio]

Please add a HUEY!

Oh for crying out loud

[Blind Guardian]

i agree a huey should not be refused http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Oversoul]

I agree, the UH-1 would be a great addon vehicle. I think it should be the very next vehicle to be added.

Also, there is all this talk about the "SDK" (three-d object builder) floating around:
1. Has Bohemia or Codemasters explicity said they will develop such a thing?
2. If so, where was this said (website, heard it from my friends dog while I was on acid, etc.)
3. Did they say when?

[Oversoul]

YES! I wish this was everyone's thinking... We should be able to (have the freedom to) make whatever vehicles we feel are necessary. It is the responsibility of the mission makers to decide what is appropriate (and balanced if I have to use that despicable term).

[NVA Killer]

adding a huey will not make it any less balanced because it does not present something special that the East does not have. so you might ask why add it then, well simply because it looks cool and would be fun

http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/nm/20011128/mdf92324.jpg

USMC Huey in Afghanistan

[MDRZulu]

Exactly, you could just use a huey in some maps instead of a blackhawk no big deal.

[Pete]

why add a chopper that doesnt bring anything new to the game?...better add something that makes a difference....a mortar http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[GFX707]

Plus, it is a complete waste of a new addon. We are probably not going to get many more addons (if any) from BIS so could you all please stop requesting such worthless sh*t....? Just because it looks cool or whatever....there are already FIVE helicopters in the game as I have said and I will be pissed off if you people waste an addon that could potentially be something that brings something new to the game. Wait until modders start modelling things, then you will get your Huey....until then there is absolutely no point in adding one to the game.

To whoever said 'If it exist and can be put in the game it should be put in it', remember that the number of addons BIS are likely to give us from now on is getting smaller and smaller

I just don't want to see the next Addon and BIS time wasted on a f*cking Huey so that the little armchair specops-wanks can go 'kool man that rocks now I can stroke my bellend even more when I play my spec ops missions'

so to summarise

1) It's a waste of our precious remaining addons
2) It adds nothing new to the game
3) There are already FIVE perfectly good US helicopters for you to fly

so there is NO POINT in adding a Huey

[Deathbysaw]

Hey Pete are ya a Mortarman?

And GFX are you in the milartary? Whats your job if so?

[Deathbysaw]

Quote-armchair specops-wanks

Thought you may be in specops or somthun. But any person with any knowledge of militarty or in the military knows that Specops don not use the huey. They have more sophiticated aircraft

[King Kong]

I agree, but i would love to see an
MH-53E Sea Dragon
Actually the Huey still has a big role in the US military because UH-60 is used for air assault, air cavalry, and aeromedical evacuation units.

I would love to see the Huey and a MH-53 in a mod

[GFX707]

Oh yeah, actually, I forgot, I am in the SAS http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

hahaha

anyway, I can use the term 'armchair spec ops' even if I am not in the military, surely....? Implying that it is someone who just sits and home and wishes they were one, but they are too young/fat/stupid

anyway

[BIN LADEN]

Lets put in Kenny Rogers as the gunner for the Huey!

[Bilko]

If BI are going to add any more choppers at least add something which is usefull :

Bell Model 47 (The Medic Chopper Off MASH - 2 stretchers)

Boeing (Mc Douglas) MD-500 Defender (The Small Choppers Off Apocalypse Now) - Weaps inc TOW/Stinger/Gun Pods/Rocket Pods

Kamov Ka-50 Hokum - 1982 First Flight

Mi-11 a huge side-by-side 2 rotor transport chopper, at least 90 troops and cargo.

Mil Mi-28 Havoc - 1982 First Flight/successor to the Hind

Kamov Ka-25 Hormone - island hopping chopper /2 pilots/12 passengers (1961 onwards), weaps inc torpedoes/depth charges/door MG

If anything at least 1 Russian chopper to balance the numbers a little, or a couple a varients each for the Mi-17 and Hind

Mi-17 Diff weaps inc Swatter/Spiral/Gun pods/12.7mm MG instead of the Thimble Radar on the nose.

Hind - Mi-24P has 2 door mounted 23mm cannons/Mi-35 has a twin 23mm gun turret on the nose. Also artillery recce and internal security versions have been built




(Edited by Bilko at 6:31 pm on Dec. 6, 2001)

[NVA Killer]

bilko the Bell 47 wasn't used anymore in the 80's, they have medivac black hawks and hueys. i suggest the Bell 47 with rocket pods mounted on the sides for the resistence http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[WTFonslaught]

agree with NVA Killer... its pretty implausable that the Bell 47 would be used by anyone.. even the resistance.

[NVA Killer]

well my thing with the bell 47 with rocket pods is it'll look goofy and give you a good laugh http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

I agree with the "No Huey" lads , waste of a good add-on IMHO , also the bell 47 .

I think maybe 1 more Russian Chopper , but I would like more ground vehicles , BTR-80 , LAV-25, AAV7

[Frizbee]

yeah well if we had the SDK that allowed new vehicles etc. to be added then we would be requesting BIS to give us new vehicles.

And GFX707... as for you being pissed if we "Waist" a good add-on... Rack of hairy before I call the pound. There are alot of people who want the Huey, and a lot of people who want other add-ons, some of which I disagree with, But you don't see me going "Waaaaa mummy" about it.

Complain about the stupid requests / ideas... but not the reasonable requests asking for vehicles that did exist, and were used during the period in which OFP is set.

[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>

I agree with that and I agree that the Bell 47 is out of date, but is still used as a crop sprayer to this day, plus if the military have a number of these choppers they do not throw them away when new tech comes about, they are phased out gradually, Mi-17's are still in use as are Hind's and they are not top of the range equipment.
However by 1985 it was old tech so the Resistance idea is a good point as they are a bit limited in hardware (As it should be), I think they sould have something else apart from the cessna in the air.

[Hindhunter]

How about an Antonov AN-2 "Colt" for the civilians. A very ordinary crop duster in the Warsaw Pact countries and it can (of course) take off from improvised fields or even plain ground. It´s neat too you know =)

[Hindhunter]

A Huey would be nice. Just remember that chopper would the 7th chopper BIS hands to the US whereas Soviet still only got 2 Whippers. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

just because its not in whatever vietnam film you are all currently wanking over, tough s**t

[KingBeast]

I agree, there is absolutely no need whatsoever in any possible way that you could imagine in all fairness that we need even half of a new helicopter to add to the mounting collection.

[Blind Guardian]

if any of you have something again adding a new chopper just remove the pbo of the chopper in your addon dir. and don t mess with who wants to add new vehicles.

[GFX707]

DON'T YOU IMBECILES SEE?!?!?!?!?!?

[Gilroyg2001]

I agree with GFX, there is no need for another helicopter, we have enough, we need more tanks, I mean, BIZ release APCs but the russians only have 2 tanks, NATO only has 2 tanks and the resistance only has one, so I think we need tanks. Jesus people, do you have a fettish for helicopters?

[Hindhunter]

Tanks? We need tanks? Why? Just how many different MBT´s do you think the US and Soviet field? 2 tanks per nation is enough. Maybe more IFV´s but since Soviet got 2 versions of the BMP now and the US got the Bradley, I don´t see the need for more armoured fighting veichles. Let´s add those APC´s instead if any, the BTR70 or 80 and MT-LB to the Soviets and BTR-152K for the resistance. =)

[KingBeast]

Whats needed in frank are more professional BIS made coop missions (they only made a few rather boring ones) , more infantry tools/weapons (not necessarily just more rifles) and possibly static defences such as more static machine guns, artilelry etc. imo.
Definately not more Helos, and it isnt a case of "if you dont like it remove it"
Its a case of Sure if its added then fine, thats al lwel land good, but to start with if theres going to be a new addon it definately should not be any more choppers.

[Stag]

Three, in the case of the USSR at the moment. Am I the only one that's noticed that a T-90 has appeared after patch 1.3, complete with AT11 missiles? Check it out in the mission editor.

P.S. Although looking closer, the 3D of this vehicle is identical to the T-80, but I don't remember D/L ing a user addon this vehicle anywhere...

(Edited by Wardog at 3:47 pm on Dec. 11, 2001)

[GFX707]

That's either kegetys's T-90 or the one that came with the skinheads addon

[Stag]

Must be Kegety's then. Very nice job, though I wonder if any AFV built in that configuration could be that tough.

[Bilko]

As said before a few more varients to the Mi-17 and Hind would suffice in balancing the sides chopper wise :

Other than that the abolishment of the East M2 MG for a proper static 20mm cannon on the hand portable revolving base 360 degrees, or at least a proper Russian MG, as it just looks crap.

Also a couple more Light Tanks/APC/Armoured Cars for both East and West

The Resistance should not be given too much as then they would be another competant armed force, which considering they have just stopped farming and picked up a few AK's. They should not be able to compete with East / West, they should be able to annoy the crap out of them.

If they can be arsed maybe 1 Russian Attack Chopper, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Axelthorpe]

The only thing needed is the Mi-6 Hook, I've always thought it was strange why they added the Kiowa when all we needed was the Hook, it's what the russians needed after the chinook was added.

the spikes are pitot tubes. They mesaure speed of the aircraft by the speed oft the air

[Bilko]

There she blows, what a chopper.

Although it looks like a Bulldog licking piss off a thorn, it is an answer to the chinook, as well as the Hook, but this thing has a 90 + troop capacity, and 1 version was rumoured to be able to carry an amphibious version of the T-55, although it sounds far fetched.

[The Jub-Jub Bird]

This thread is...crap basically. Just 'we need a Huey', 'no we don't' and very very boring. Well I stand with GFX707 on this topic all the way. But I can almost garantee that we'll have a UH-1N by April/March(?) when BIS release an ultimate addon cd containing loads of extra vehicles, aircraft and foot units from VBS all for OFP. Its likely to contain all sorts of stuff from the Huey (or latest varients) to LAV and AAVs to Harriers and probably also Russian stuff like the Havoc and Mi-6, ####, it may even contain completely unconnect additions such as Australian stuff. Well until then I don't see it likely that an SDK will be released, maybe later (much later).

[WTFonslaught]

*bump*

I hope you are right (love the Huey).

Do you think VBS will rectify the problem where a vehilcle can only fire one weapon at a time ? (preventing two side door guns?)

[FetishFool]

The UH(Utility Helicopter)-60 and UH-1 are basically the same helicpter.

The Blackhawk is just larger in every way.
BIS can easily add a second door-gunner to the Blackhawk. They're just lazy.


The UH-1 is still heavily used today. And is mainly a chopper used by officers.

The huey is a classic symbol of the US the blackhawk isnt.

is it just me or does my name say deleted member? I must have pissed bis off.

[FetishFool]

Hahahahha Zulu.

BIS can easily add a second door-gunner to the Blackhawk.  They're just lazy.
[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>

Unfortunatly that isn't the case...OFP is plagued by a bug which means only one weapon can be fired from a unit at any one time, thereby making two door gunners (cammander machine gun fixings on tanks, AC-130s, usable gun ports on the BMPs and Bradley, etc.) impossible since when a soldier enters a vehicle they become part of the same unit.

It appears as if VBS has worked around this, but whether BIS release a patch to correct OFP, remains to be seen, I would doubt it.

Jub Jub...

Let us all hope that CD aint bogus...

Today i saw the movie Spy Game and they still used hueys to carry troops to and out of combat situations.

Its the most beatiful helicopter ive ever seen (and flown http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif )

However i still do think that we need more land units.
APCs, AFVs, MBTs, IFVs, AAVs and so on...

[The Jub-Jub Bird]

...me to or I'm up for a severe flamming!

[Frizbee]

DOn&#39;t get me wrong... I want more land units too... and a proper 60mm mortar or moveable field artillary etc...

But as Long as BIS are making add-ons... why don&#39;t we ask for everything we can get our hands on...

For example.. bridges.. how many more missions could be made if we were given an Island with bridges......

[CoolCarlos2002]

Uh oh , here comes the Brits to an American forum......

What would be best is that Americans, dont touch forum that talk of, SA80 , SAS and Brits stuff
Abd Brits dont touch the ones with UH-1 , US Harrier , NAVY Seal and other US stuff..
So flame war will stop

Or maybe people could simply think before they post http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Well, the Huey may be nice, but it wouldn&#39;t add anything new to OFP, from a strategic or gameplay point of view. It&#39;s just another Blackhawk, regarding that matter.

I&#39;d rather see a completely new aspect, like subs, scuba divers or F16.

[Gunship USMC]

Lol F16 *ROFL*


Thats a Good Joke&#33;

[WKK Gimbal]

What&#39;s so funny about that. In it&#39;s time (which is not so long ago) it was the ultimative fighter aircraft. No other aircraft was as maneuverable and deadly as the F16.

It would fit perfectly in a &#39;85 setting.

weve got a huey, albiet a heavily modified one with a machiengun, rockets and tows, but still based on a huey

[RavenDK]

Make a classic Huey:
Open doors
door mounted m60 (left AND right side)
pilot and copilot + 2 gunners

that&#39;s what i like to see in ofp

[Sith]

Raven: Why r u digging up all these old topics?

[christophercles]

I think some more mil&#39;s would be an EXCELENT addition aswell, especially the 6 and the 26 in fact i posted the exact same pictures as you earlier on, that way the russians have counterpoint for the chinook. But enough with the choppers&#33; need nore tanks&#33; or mlrs&#33; or artilary&#33; anything&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; NEED POWER&#33;
