In 1966, the company Costruzioni Aeronautiche Giovanni Agusta SpA managed to obtain permission to produce the UH-1 Huey under license, which not only allowed them to be built but also sold abroad. The first to be built was named AB-204 which would eventually be used by the army to help with the role of transporting personnel, food and armament. The AB-204 was later modified and upgraded, and redesignated AB-205, whose fuselage was lengthened allowing the cabin to accommodate up to 14 people, including pilots. With new metal support capabilities for armament and utility, and also upgrades to the engine, the AB-205A-1 was born, this helicopter would be used by the Aviazione Leggera dell'Esercito Italiano Corpo Carabinieri.

Introduced in Update "Hot Tracks", the AB 205 A-1 is the first helicopter you will use in the Italian helicopter tree. A UH-1 with a more powerful engine that can manoeuvre faster, the armament is quite poor, composed only of 14 FFAR Mighty Mouse and two 7.62 mm M134 Miniguns. Effective use of the helicopter will require reasonable accuracy with the rockets, while the miniguns can be used to shoot down enemy air targets.
