UH-1 Iroquois

The Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" is a helicopter that was used primarily by the United States Military during the Vietnam War. It is featured in the game, Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
The Helicopter is the main American helicopter in Black Ops, featuring in almost every other mission. The Huey first appears in the mission "SOG" as US troops attempt to defend themselves from the overwhelming numbers of the NVA. In "The Defector," Texas provides fire support for SOG operatives, followed "Victor Charlie" where one operated by the 1st Cavalry Division is shot down and attacked by Viet Cong or North Vietnamese Forces, while another saves Mason and Reznov from being killed on a cliffside. In Crash Site, it aids SOG in finding the shot down Russian cargo plane containing Nova 6. Finally, Mason and other SOG operatives fly several helicopters against Russian defenses on board the Rusalka before Mason's is shot down.

In multiplayer, it is used as the Chopper Gunner killstreak for all sides. Unlike previously, the player uses a minigun from the door of the helicopter with non-explosive rounds. Hueys were used as troop and cargo transports, medivac choppers, and support gunships. They were later replaced by the UH-60 Blackhawk, as seen in Call of Duty 4.

Trivia

 * The UH-1's popular name "Huey" came about because the helicopter's original designation was HU-1.
 * In multiple screenshots of the UH-1 in Black Ops, an M60 machine gun can be seen mounted in the main cabin.
 * All UH-1's in the game are the UH-1A model (both transport and gunships). Although the A model was still used as gunships by 1968 (the time the vietnam part is set), nearly all Transport UH-1's by that time would had been either the D model or the H model, which has a stretched fuselage.
