we need the Focke Achgelis Fa 223 in AH
it WAS used in WWII. Germans planned to use it to get Mussolini out of jail in 1943 but it wouldn't work. Flew across the English Channel post-war. Rescued a downed German pilot behind enemy lines.

What purpose would it serve in the game?

Why have a helicopter that doesn't work?

Back in WWII helicopters were brand stinking new. I wouldn't wanna fly a literal piece of garbage that would not offer me any benefits except to hit the brakes in mid-flight.

low level penetration, could land next to map room if deacking isnt goin well, i think its a good idea for an alternative C47

best alternative to c47 would be ju52

wouldnt it be nice to land next to the map room instead of dropping MG targets?

Name one helicopter in World War II that was capable of carrying 10 soldiers with full combat gear plus 1-2 crew members.

ack-ack

it would be an easy target as it only went 70MPH it would be like hitting a chute except much biger that is why we don't have heilcopters

and the JU-52 would be a great addition to the C-47 as it was hitlers go around airplane it could carry more than 10 me n easily

I also had another thought I probly will get negitive feedback on this but what about the ME-323 gigant it had 6 engines and rockt assited it could be a great cargo plane you could drop a tank in the middle of the battle it could carry over 300 people just i do not know how fast it went I bet you it wasint that very fast though

u could come in low, land next to the map room, release troops, and get outta there

Bosco123 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 30, 2007, 01:36:28 PM »

it could ony carry only 3 troops you would need at least 4 to drop troops it wouldnt work

Only around 20 were built and it only had one MG (I think it was a 7.9mm) and could carry 2x 250kg bombs. Max speed was around 110mph. The one that did see action were used as transports. So we will never see in the the game mainly because of the numbers built and because we already have a caro plane.

So no.

Bosco123 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 30, 2007, 02:21:19 PM »

It acually 4 MGs I thougt it wasn't going to fly but imagine seeing 300 paratropers falling to the ground

yikes
