The UH-60 Black Hawk is a four-bladed, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter. It entered service with the U.S. Army in 1979, to replace the Bell UH-1 Iroquois as the Army's tactical transport helicopter. This was followed by the fielding of electronic warfare and special operations variants of the Black Hawk. Improved UH-60L and UH-60M utility variants have also been developed. Modified versions have also been developed for the U.S. Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. In addition to U.S. Army use, the UH-60 family has been exported to several nations. Black Hawks have served in combat during conflicts in Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Somalia, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and other areas in the Middle East. Compatible with all iPhones and iPads.

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Helicopter Wars at none against Helicopter Simulator 3D's shown. Helicopter Simulator 3D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
