#WAR THUNDER HELICOPTERS AVAILABLE UPDATE#
Introduced in Update 1.81 "The Valkyries", the AH-1G is the first helicopter available in the U.S. Overall, the Bell AH-1G Cobra employed the same engine, transmission, and rotor system as the Bell UH-1 Iroquois, which had already proven to be a viable platform during the war, but added a revised narrow fuselage and other features.
Rapid follow-up purchases had boosted this to 500 Cobras by the end of the year. The US Army initially signed the first production contract, ordering 110 aircraft in the first batch, and mass production of this helicopter began with little adjustment from the original Model 209 prototype. Bell's Model 209 prototype (later renamed the AH-1G Cobra as the initial production model) took its first flight on September 7, 1965, and won the production contract against the other competing companies in April 1966. Army approached five different companies with their desire for an urgent solution. The necessity for an immediate interim gunship for the Vietnam War became obvious, and the U.S. soldiers became more prevalent, and the AAFSS program became bogged down in technical difficulties and political disputes. However, as the Vietnam War advanced to 1965, attacks on U.S. Army to launch the Advanced Aerial Fire Support System (AAFSS) program in 1964. Army that a dedicated gunship was required, prompting the U.S. At the same time, Bell had been studying helicopter gunships since the late 1950s, and it eventually convinced the U.S. A dedicated gunship was not conceivable during the early phases of the Vietnam War for a variety of reasons, most notably disagreements between the U.S. In general, the AH-1G was built as an interim gunship to meet the demands of the U.S. It is a single-engine attack helicopter designed and built by the American rotorcraft company Bell Helicopter, and served in the U.S. The Bell AH-1G Hue圜obra is the first variant of the Bell AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters family.
