OVERVIEW

    A basic infantry-carrying helicopter, the Huey fills a void in the standard armored personnel carrier ranks that has stood surprisingly vacant for a surprisingly long amount of time.

CAPABILITIES

    Instead of some sort of multipurpose vehicle like the Ferret Scout VTOL, the Huey is dedicated to transporting a squad of infantry at great speed from Point A to Point B.  The Huey is solely a tool of mobility, without having to worry about serving in fire support or reconnaissance roles when troopers desperately need to be ferried over impassable terrain.

DEPLOYMENT

    The TME-167 Huey is a very common sight as it is the only truly inexpensive infantry carrier in existance.

VARIANTS

    The TME-167-A Huey Gunship carries a short range missile four-rack on fuselage-side pylons with enough ammunition for two minutes of constant fire.

    DESIGNER'S NOTE:  Good luck goes out to Anthony Napier, my best friend and now grunt in the Army.  Armor is more his specialty, but I wish him luck all the same.
