Yes, BH222A usually @125-130 knots IAS with a modest load at ISA SL and MT 80%.

What little Cobra flying I did I enjoyed, once it got through translational, but preferred the UH1C Charlie model due to total four crewmembers i.e. more eyes, and much better lateral coverage in a break or while low-bird on VR.

Take a strong UH1H up to short of blade stall and it'll slowly walk away from an armed AH1G; much to the surprise of all us one day in 1971 in a far off place when a bit short on fuel.
