Cera Bell 212 vs 412

All that have her, which do you prefer and why? I need to add a Huey to my fleet, but never really liked the single engine variants and want more SAR/Life Flight missions within my fleet. Thanks

I love em both but i think there is just something about the 212 - there are more moving and opening bits, textures are just a little better than the 412. 212 flies a little more stable.

I would not want to be without either and fly them more than many of the Nemeth products.

Just get BOTH!!
 
Thanks Maurice and Gajit. I too have some Nemeth birds and my opinion is mixed on the two I have, CH53 and the EC135. I totally love the EC135 but the CH53 is a bit of a pain to get around in, not implying the FDE is messed up, just much more cumbersome, in my opinion.

Matt,

I can even agree totally re the CH53. I have the Nemeth and the Alphasim models and much prefer the Alphasim, even though the cockpit is not too clever. The EC135 in Dorset and Somerset livery is one of my "stock" favourites.

Maurice.
 
Perhaps you missed my "need a helo recommendation" thread but I ended up buying the B412P because almost everything looked identical between the 212 and 412 but the 412 is about 20-30 kts faster than the 212

Agreed, the 212 for me as well, although I spend equal time between the 212 and the nemeth huey, it just has a much nicer VC IMO.

Ryan,

You're right, I somehow missed your thread and some great screenies of the 412. I am certainly leaning more toward the 412 as I also want the more modern and faster variant. I see the weather RADAR bulb on the nose, is that modelled well on the bird or is the Captain Sim add on better?
