I think they should put at least one helicopter in the game. The specific helicopter im talking about is the Sikorsky R-4. It was put into service in 1942 which is earlier than the Me 262 and the Me 163. It would be a great helicopter for search and rescue missions. So if u could put one in the game I would really like that.

Although it's a nice idea, helicopters weren't a "fine art" back in the older days. So what you would be flying is more "bait" than "support".

Anyone else think that sounded like a very random comment. Kinda like the comments that people say when he has recieved 5 crates for bribes!

The f4u turns into a helicopter when you get it slow enough.

So does the zero. I hovered to the front of the Cruiser ship and landed.

All the while, have you been thinking about how the flight model would work in AH? I think in some ways, It might be easier to code than some of the planes we have. In some other ways... maybe not.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

Slightly OT question (but not really)... is ground effect modelled in AH?

Check out the link in my "helicopter" thread from last month. I linked to a functional, armed dual rotor heavy lift design that was used during the war.
