If you're sick of planes then you really shouldn't play a game where the main focus is...wait for it...Airplanes.

If you're basing that on the fact the Ka-1 was modified to carry a small depth charge for ASW missions, then the Fa 223 would also be considered a combat helicopter as it was armed with machine guns and could carry a small payload of bombs or depth charges.

Don't think either of them actually dropped bombs or depth charges though. The Japanese Ka-1 was mostly shore based as the carrier intended for the Ka-1 was sunk before it was commissioned.  The Fa 233 proved itself as a valuable workhorse transporting men and supplies.

I think the KA-1 did see combat but very few if I recall correctly.

Anyone that can't keep a plane in the air after raising their landing gear should not be calling anyone else a noob.

Really? I have films that say otherwise but I digress as this is not the point of this thread.
