I just thought since we had jeeps since they dont support any real purpose that we could have choppers. And in the Il-5,7 there is no casetts or how ever you spell it they were like cluster munitions would be nice for taking out tanks and or hangers.

The R-4 was first used in combat in May 1944. In a letter to a friend, Col. Philip G. Cochran, Commanding Officer (CO) of the 1st Air Commando Group, wrote "Today the 'egg-beater' went into action and the damn thing acted like it had good sense."

I did see my edit? So you want a 75 mph no gun target? See the little part about no guns?
With the burn multiplier of the ma it will make the 163 fight time seem like an eternity.

It was a short range recon and medevac craft nothing more.

Still waiting for link for spec to hoverfly with bombracks.
I don't mind being wrong. This piqued my interest and I cant find the spec you claim.
