Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the helicopter. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, how many engines the vehicle has. Describe the armour, if there is any, also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Armaments
Offensive armament
Describe the offensive armament of the helicopter, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in battle, also what ammunition belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.
Suspended armament
Describe the helicopter's suspended armament: additional cannons under the winglets, any type of bombs, and rockets. Since any helicopter is essentially only a platform for suspended weaponry, this section is extremely important and deserves your special attention. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the helicopter, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".

History
Experience using the UH-1 multipurpose helicopters revealed that this aircraft had no noticeable flaws and turned out to be quite effective. Needless to say, the success of the Iroquois helicopters did not go unnoticed by allies of the United States. When the USA released the UH-1D model, the West German government agreed to purchase a license to manufacture the latest Iroquois helicopters at German factories, particularly those of the Dornier company. Between February 1967 and the end of 1981, German aircraft manufacturers constructed 352 UH-1D helicopters.
How is the UH-1D version of the Iroquois helicopter different from the base one? First of all, in terms of size. The payload of the UH-1B was increased greatly, so in the UH-1D modification the fuselage was extended and widened, and the overall length of the helicopter was increased by over a metre. A new rotor that had a wider blade span was installed, as well as all-movable stabilizers like those in the UH-1C. The shape of the nose section of the fuselage was changed: the bottom of the hull was now rounded rather than flat, and the position of the antennae and signal lights were altered. The German manufacturer decided against the armoured pilots’ seats that were used in Iroquois helicopters during the Vietnam War, so the UH-1D has no armour on the seats. For the UH-1D in War Thunder, we have decided to introduce several weapon loadouts that have been used with the UH-1 series.
