Default Re: Need Help with Helo Unit Class Problem

Surprisingly you're finding out a historical reality as well. The USMC never used the H-19 and UH-1 for major troop transport. The UH-34 and CH-46 were used in these roles primarily, with the H-53 series eventually taking over.

The H-19 and UH-1 were used for light transport, small troop movements, insertions and extractions of small teams, MEDEVAC, and forward observation. You really shouldn't be trying to mount aerial assaults with them. It was never their intended role.
