Default Re: [High-Tech/Vehicles] Rugged, Simple SAR/Medevac Helicopters

I think one of the problems with Hueys on Navy ships is that they have skids. An aircraft carrier requires constant repositioning of aircraft due to the needs of deck space for flight ops. You'll notice that every dedicated navy helicopter I am aware of has wheels instead of skids. This would not be a problem for a helicopter that only has to land on a single helicopter sized landing pad on a very large yacht or a cargo ship. I'm not sure much would have to be done to make a Huey sea worthy as far as resisting salt spray, they are pretty rugged helicopters. As a player I would not cry foul if this organization used them aboard ships just because Navys that use full sized carriers did not.
