Chopper Pilot Vietnam

Vietnam, the first “helicopter war.” For over a decade US Army helicopters flew and fought in the skies of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Now Chopper Pilot Vietnam lets you take part in that conflict as a pilot of the ubiquitous Huey or the deadly Cobra.

Chopper Pilot Vietnam is a solitaire and cooperative game in which you fly as a US Army Warrant Officer helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. You will start your career as a member of the 1st AirCav Division as a UH-1 “Huey” pilot. Missions will include transport infantry units to designated landing zones (LZs), resupply units already in the field, medevac wounded grunts from the battlefield and more. You may be afforded the opportunity to become a Huey gunship or AH-1 Cobra pilot and fly assault missions in support of the infantry.

If you are good enough, you might be called upon to work for the infamous Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observation Group (MACV-SOG). Your missions there will be in support of the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols (LRRPs) who you will drop off deep into North Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos, then pick them up under dire circumstances if they are discovered by the North Vietnamese.

Regardless of your mission, there will be ground troops depending on you, either to get them to the battlefield or resupply them under fire or to evacuate them if they are wounded in combat. Are you up to the challenge?
