Air-Sea Rescue Planes!

Actually somebody almost brought up a GREAT use for them..... resupplying a carrier.

We could fly them from land base, land them in water within carrier group (its sphere of influence).  And then with a return to tower, you've resupplied the carrier. That or have them land and then have to sit in the area for a while (kinda like rearming pads, except reversed) until a little text message pops up saying "Carrier resupplied"  It would require a bit of skill, since the pilot would have to land in such a place that they will stay within the carriers "sphere of influence" for the entire rearming, as well as it would be difficult should the carrier run them down doing maneuvers during a big fight.

they could add waves so that you would have to time your landing with the waves.

A sea plane would be nice, but they where mostly scouts and SAR. I dont know if they where really all that good as fighters.

they suck as fighters they are soooooooooooooooooooooooo UN-aerodynamic

Sorry to sound ignorant but helicopters weren't used in military use until Vietnam, right?  I know helicopters were in their early years during WWII, but I'm unclear as to if they used them or not. (I ask because if they did use helicopters to rescue in WWII, then that would make more sense in this role IMHO.  Not sure how people would feel about a chopper being implemented into the game regardless.)

wrong dude heck ill rearrange my post order ill do helicopters now!

First use of helos in combat, to my knowledge, was as med-edvac in the Korean War. I could be wrong though, not much of a helo fan
