Other copters?

Recommended Posts

Hi. The copters that are in Arma2 are great, but I was wondering about two other types that don't appear to be in there. I'm not sure what their names are (...I know my Huey's and my Apache's, but can't remember what these two are called)... but they are smaller copters, both used in Vientnam. One is like a mini Huey (has the little nose), and the other is smaller and has a spherical chasis (kind of similar to a civilian Bell(?) helicopter).

First of all, could someone tell me what the names of those are, and also if they are in vanilla Arma2. If not, are they available via downloads? I thought I saw them in Arma2, but I'm probably mistaken.

Ya, that's kinda what I mean (for the smallest one).

Basically, in Apocalypse Now (for example) you see three helicopter types (I think)... The big Huey's, the smaller 'police helicopter' shaped ones, and then the Bell Ranger type copters (sphere chasis, thin tail).

Okay, so those aren't in the vanilla Arma2. What are the names of those two types? The smallest ones are MH6/AH6?

Yep, or a variation or similar copter...

Seems there are more variations than I thought!

So, ya, you have the big Huey, the mid sized OH-58 and Bell 204, and the small MH6(?).

Cool... Thanks, guys.

So, educate me... I didn't say I was an expert... hence why I'm asking.

For the USMC you have the UH-1Y Huey, the AH-1W/Z cobra, the HH-60S Knighthawk (More globally known as a Blackhawk), and the new AH-64 Apache. The Russians have the Mi-8 Hip (and variations of it), the Mi-24 Hind (And variations), and the Ka-52 (Hokum? I can't remember the name of this one. There's also the (Black) version, which I don't know how it's different).

Any other Helicopters are addons, and not in the "Vanilla" game.

What are the copters you see in Apocalypse Now?

(Please keep in mind this is just me asking out of curiosity.... not saying they should be in the game or not... from an accuracy/historical perspective)

[Late addition]: Oh, shoot... I just noticed that the 'mid sized' one I was trying to identify is actually the Huey! I was confusing the Huey with the Blackhawk. Kinda stupid of me, since I know what Blackhawk actually is! Just kind of confused them right now.

Okay, I now know two of the three copters I'm trying to identify. The only one missing is the little guy... Again, they were in Apocalypse Now. Spherical chasis with a very thin tail. The photos from the 'Little Birds' look like one of them might be it. Just looking for a specific match (...to the ones in the film). I think it's the AH6.

If you're talking about the AirCav "beach" attack scene, I think they were flying two type of birds:

Bell "Huey" UH-1

Huges "Loach" OH-6

@Thirdup: Yep, there's the first two (small and medium) that I was referring to. So the little guy is an OH-6.

Okay, cool. That completes it.... OH-6, UH-1 and Blackhawks.

Thanks everyone...

there's no blackhawks in that scene....UH60 was introduced later on to replace the UH1, so was not available during vietnam

@pufu: Yep, I know. I'm just made the Apocalypse reference to help get an identification of the two smaller copters of my list of three... just to help others know what two copters I was trying to get the names of.

All good....
