Believed to be life-saving helicopters for medical evacuation duty and transport, the UH-60 Blackhawk is a good helicopter to utilize for airborne rescue missions if a group of medics cannot make it to the target in time, costing the Company lives of their fellow soldiers.
A specially designed Medivac version of the UH-60 Blackhawk were used by medics and soldiers to make haste to the wounded as fast as they can, although mostly many Blackhawk helicopters were practical for transporting soldiers on and off the battlefield, many believe due to their versatile handling, but sometimes they can be vulnerable to enemy forces on the ground and air.
Since then, many Blackhawk helicopters were issued with a set of Gauss Cannons, which they can upgrade on their Blackhawk anytime, therefore making it an armed transport.
Operational History
Since the UH-60's first flight during 1974 along its introduction to armies and services of the world during the year of 1979 and currently in active service, the Blackhawk Helicopter is a medium lift transporter helicopter which can bring soldiers in and out of the battlefield without any problems.
The Blackhawk is great for transporting important supplies to requested locations and soldiers in and out of the battlefield, though they come without a set of door mounted miniguns on its sides as used by the USA's Task Forces, it has a set of Gauss Cannons to compensate it. While it is expensive, the UH-60 pilots from the Company of Liberty can utilize their Gauss Cannons onto the helicopter once they get clearance from their commander.
Gauss Cannon Clearance
All-thou the UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters the American Army utilized during the past wars had miniguns, the Company's version of the well known helicopter can be equipped with a set of gauss cannons, which will allow pilots to defend themselves from enemy ground and airborne attackers, the medical evacuation can also acquire the Gauss Cannons if they receive the proper clearance from their commander.
These helicopters are fast and can easily outrun anti-aircraft vehicles on the ground, the helicopter is good for specialized missions when it has the opportunity to fight back with the gauss cannons, but without them installed many losses of Blackhawks were examined to find solutions to help the Company of Liberty achieve less losses to helicopters.
