Helicopters?

One of the early Sikorsky's. S-51 perhaps? (unless the R-4 or R-6 low numbers count as mass produced)

I feel helicopters are not needed.  I would rather see some more early war fighters than a helicopter which didnt grab its fame till the Vietnam War.  Yes it was used in WW2 but not to an extent as it was used in Vietnam.  

 What could we possibly use a helicopter for?  The fighters in AH would have more speed and guns than the helicopter so basically its good as dead.

  We need some more early war fighters, definately no more late war fighters.  Could use some more bombers and vehicles.

Simshell, ive watched MASH a very good shot. disappointed it ended.  

  Yes i know they were used in Korea for taking casualties back to hospitals.  But the helicopters grew their fame in Vietnam.  Helicopters in Vietnam were used to asssist ground troops, bring troops to the frontlines and take casualties to the hospitals.  

  Helicopters did not gain fame in WW2, that is the point im trying to make to point out we dont need helicopters in AH.

On top of that, helicopters didnt start to take on a noticable offensive roll until well after WW2...

So if we got whirlies, what exactly would you do with them?

Needed?  This is a game, nothing is needed.  But helicopters would bring alot of fun to AH2.  Just the helo flight model itself would make them fun.

Put two rockets on them, give them 1 7.62 mg on them with a 15 deg up, down, left and right arc, and give it a horrible GPH rating.

Perk it to about 150.

I don't think there should be heli's, the first successful helicopter flight was in 1941.

Hot stuff....



Look at the twin rotor setup.  That actually seems kind of ingenious.  Judging by modern helicopters, I guess it isn't.

There are more modern helicopters with similar rotor setups, but most use the classic Sikorsky setup or coaxial rotors nowadays.

Really?  I've never seen two rotors next to each other.  Are you talking about a counter-rotating design, such as the Kamov bureau?  That's a bit different.

edit: Duuuuuuuuuh, co-axial.  Sorry, wasn't thinking.
