An export version of the American Iroquois for the German army with an enlarged fuselage, a new rotor system, and a new engine!
Experience using the UH-1 multipurpose helicopters revealed that this aircraft had no noticeable flaws and turned out to be quite effective. Needless to say, the success of the Iroquois helicopters did not go unnoticed by allies of the United States. When the USA released the UH-1D model, the West German government agreed to purchase a license to manufacture the latest Iroquois helicopters at German factories, particularly those of the Dornier company. Between February 1967 and the end of 1981, German aircraft manufacturers constructed 352 UH-1D helicopters.
How is the UH-1D version of the Iroquois helicopter different from the base one? First of all, in terms of size. The payload of the UH-1B was increased greatly, so in the UH-1D modification the fuselage was extended and widened, and the overall length of the helicopter was increased by over a metre. A new rotor that had a wider blade span was installed, as well as all-movable stabilizers like those in the UH-1C. The shape of the nose section of the fuselage was changed: the bottom of the hull was now rounded rather than flat, and the position of the antennae and signal lights were altered. The German manufacturer decided against the armoured pilots’ seats that were used in Iroquois helicopters during the Vietnam War, so the UH-1D has no armour on the seats. For the UH-1D in War Thunder, we have decided to introduce several weapon loadouts that have been used with the UH-1 series.
In the game, the UH-1D can be found at rank V in the German helicopter tech tree. Pilots of the German Iroquois helicopters will have access to six-barreled 7.62mm miniguns placed in two containers along the sides of the fuselage, unguided Hydra-70 rockets, and six AGM-22 ATGMs that can be used to penetrate most ground targets at its rank.
Like the American UH-1B and UH-1C, the German Iroquois fits into rank V battles well, and it also has the same potential to take on more advanced vehicles. Since the helicopter has no seat armor and only one engine, the pilot will have to learn to avoid any enemy fire. It would also be wise to research flak jackets for pilots as your first modification. Before researching the ATGM we recommend avoiding large-scale skirmishes with ground vehicles and focus on destroying “snipers” and light armoured vehicles. However, you’ll have a lot more options once you’ve installed anti-tank missiles. Those six missiles will allow you to calmly pick off several enemies during every sortie. As long as you keep your distance, aim your missiles carefully, and stay out of the crosshairs of anti-air guns, you’ll be unmatched!
The UH-1D will be available for everyone after the release of the War Thunder update 1.83!

The way Helicopters are working in game at the moment cant be maintained its to OP you can just go out of range for the aa tanks and snipe while at a hight where they can see everything and for the germans they dont have many planes on their team because the are very expensive in repair and get killed fast. So the helicopters need a rework so they work like in reality and the maps need some reworks too so the Helicopters can be played like they should be!!!
***Gaijin**** I hope you put MG or canon on German helicopters (BO 105 CB2, BO 105 PAH-1, BOT 105 PAH-1A1)
read the BO-105 Devblog...They are only having ATGM armed BO's during the testing phase.
Rly add french choppers guys --' germany isn't a big chopper nation you'll add Allouette on german three are you stupid it's a french hélicopter
I have a question, will helicopters ever be able to carry torpedos for use in Naval Battles? there are several different types of helicopters who can do that, some of them can even be configured to either perform as a gunship, ASW or anti-ship warfare, one such example would be the Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk and another would be the Westland Lynx
the torpedoes carried by those helos are not anti-ship capable. They are anti-submarine torpedoes. Anti-ship torps are considerably bigger. The Seahawk carried the Penguin anti-ship missile for anti-ship duty. The Lynx carried the Sea Skua.
Another awesome update - I don't know how spamming vehicles improves gameplay but it obviously must
Arnold Schwarzenegger voice: GET TO THE CHOPPER !!!!
Nah hey that's cool, germans get the big boy huey first but the americans don't.
a dev blog was not needed for this. Though I would've prefer a devblog for the German M48 to see your explanation as to why it was put at 8.0.
Are you going to add a competitive top tier tank or helicopters for Britain? Or is it only the Wehraboos' complaints you listen to?
I hate how the UH series plays in general and seeing this only makes me fear for the German helicopter tech tree, i'm not blaming the developers i'm just saying i don't like the idea of more UH series helicopters.
