Surely the Huey has many variants that would cover a larger period. Starting from the -H we have, maybe the -N and -Y version would add a lot of different mission capabilities. Then we have the puma, with a service history ranging from the 1970s (AS332 Super Puma) 1990s (H225M). Unfortunately the AW-139 is fairly modern, as is the H135 (1995). I still think that given the variety of nato assets for the early 2000s any of these helis will fit quite nicely in the game, especially in multiplayer servers that feature logistics, troop insertion to capture objectives and CSAR. Unfortunately i'm nowere near good enough to try and code or model any of them.

I feel like we're missing modern medium utility/cargo helicopters. Troop transport, CSAR, SAR, Maritime patrol, and even more civilian type operations like HEMS, Police work, Firefighting (?). The Huey and Hip fill the role, but are better suited for an early cold war/vietnam era. The UH-60 mod currently fills this niche a bit, but given the large variety of helis in use today, why are we limited to these 3? Would anyone else be intrested in some modern versatile multirole helis? I'm thinking something like: EC-135/145 AW-139 AW-109 AS365 H225 NH-90 Modern Hueys I know many of these have civilian variants with extensive documentation available, while others are obviously more classified (NH-90 my beloved), but I feel like we're missing on a lot of really interesting operations right now.

This looks really cool man, I can't wait to see where this goes!

With the coming release of the Eurofighter, Tornado, Bo-105 and cold war germany we're missing a medium lift Helicopter from the old continent to complete the european roster. The NH90 is used by Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and many others; it fulfills naval, recon, cargo and special operations roles and is in service since the 1990s. I think it would be a valuable addition to the sim. Also, consider the following: It's one sexy helycopter!
