UH-1C Gunship

[Marcosis]

OK how about using the UH-1C as a gunship, it needs dual minigun's and rocket pods, and if your feeling froggy a thumper up front.  (thumper would be a genade laucher)  Use the UH1D Helicopter with Minigun thats floating around as a base all that is needed is a 2nd minigun and the rocket pods.

the topic and where it says uh-1c in the post originally said uh-1d, its been edited and the uh-1c and uh-1d are completely different helicopter models, the uh-1c is a bell 204 the uh-1d is a bell 205

If I may:

Actually, the D model (or H model with the upgraded T 53 L-13 engine after 1967) was used extensively in Vietnam by the Australian and South Vietnamese Air Force.  They were generally armed with the XM-21 system. (M134 Mini-gun mounted on the forward hardpoints with the XM158, -157 or -200 mounted on the rear hard points)

OK I will just have to wait for the Nam pack 2 to come out.
