The Apache may be the best "attack" helicopter but the Navy MH 60 S is the most diverse platform and best utility helicopter in the world.
There is no actual fighter helicopter. The closest thing is attack helicopters such as Apache.
Check the website on the UH-1 Iroquois (aka Huey). The UH stands for Utility Helicopter, and be advised the term "Huey" was also used to ID the HueyCobra (officially designated as the AH-1/Attack Helicopter/the world's first designed and built ATTACK helicopter).
America's first designed & built attack helicopter was the AH-1 Cobra fielded in the Vietnam War. Note: Any chopper can be called an attack helicopter if its armed for the job. Consequently the terms "designed & built" specifically as a gunship (attack helicopter).
It is the American Apache AH-64 is the most advance attack helicopter today.ANS 2 -Best is a poor term for a comparison. For instance, the above-mentioned Apache is terrible for hauling cargo. There is NO BEST in such a wide group. -Some are best at Attack, some are best at rescue, some are best at Sub-hunting, some are best at heavy-lifting and so on.
Yes, the Vietnam War was nickname the first "helicopter war." The US Army's first AIRBMOBILE Divisions were created in the Vietnam War: 1st Air Cav Div, 101st Airmoble Div. Just as WWII created the US Army's first "Airborne Divisions." The most famous birds of the war were the "Huey" & "Cobra" (UH-1 Iroquois and AH-1 Attack Helicopter). UH=Utility Helicopter/AH=Attack Helicopter
