General information

The UH-1B (Japan) is a license-built UH-1B by Fuji Heavy Industries and only differs in armament and name, with a Japanese-produced engine that delivers the same amount of power. It's officially designated by the JGSDF as UH-1B Hiyodori (ひよどり, Bulbul). It was primarily used for disaster relief purposes and only ever armed with rocket pods for training purposes.

It was introduced in Update "Starfighters". While it is a domestic copy of the UH-1B, it only comes with FFARs as the JGSDF only ever used its utility purposes rather than its attack power. This leaves the Japanese Huey in a very vulnerable position as a combat vehicle and will have to fly very defensively to get into a position to unload its rocket arsenal into targets, playing very similarly to the AH-1G.
