The Huey is fun to fly (once you get the hang of it as it is also pretty difficult at first and anything but stable) if a bit useless in actual combat. If your opponent has anything that might remotely be classified as AAA you have to stay far away. However it's next to immune to small arms fire. It will only knock out your radio and some instruments but will never shoot you out of the sky or kill the pilot (at least it has never happened to me and I've been hit by thousands of bullets...no joke.).

I wouldn't mind the Sabre either, but I hear that she's not quite as detailed as the 21 and Huey. The Hawk might be one that I'll look at too, although it's only really been used as a trainer in the RAF. |

Fun chopper to fly, but can get a bit exhausting. |

What annoys me is that we are still lacking multiplayer crews on it, can't see what's inside the cabin (passengers, cargo) and that the AI gunners are obviously high on something as they can't shoot straight. Bloody useless. Another thing is that no one should spawn or use a big weapons if any Huey has a sling load. Otherwise the lag will desync the Huey and the sling load and that WILL tear the chopper apart if it doesn't jettison the load pretty much immediately. Which makes that feature bloody useless again on any public server. And last there is surprisingly little stuff for it to download regarding missions and campaigns.

I agree, it's very rewarding feeling when you get the thing fly straigth.
MP crews would be great, flying alone is not very fun. Not to mention, the gunners would give the pilot feedback whether it's clear to land etc. |

Not quite useless, if it wasn't for your door gunners opening up on the AAA truck in that mission with Hunter and the Dam I'd never have seen the truck until it took my rotors off. So they're good for target marking.

Oh wow, in all my time at subsim (mostly as a lurker) I never even saw this DCS section. I have been flying in DCS for years now.
Any of you frequent the 104th server or the blueflag campaign (on hiatus due to 1.5 bugs)? |
