But how about the  Focke Archgelis 223 Drache?

-Being a heli, It could up from GV bases, Which could make it a great spotter aircraft during GV battles. and the thing can easily be taken down by a single.

-Could be loaded with both GV/AF supplies, or troops.

-This idea is from the old thread, i still kinda want it in the game.-(my fav idea) it could act as a med-evac for downed pilots. remember those times when you had 15 kills in your p38, but you get bounced close to base, shot down, you bail out. but you get soo mad cus your too far to get to the base top land those kills? well with this helicopter we can finally "rescue" downed pilots. imagine this: your shot down, stranded within the helicopters range. the helicopter could then launch, come, "rescue" your, fly you back to base. and there you go. you get to land those 15 kills.

-Had the weight capacity to carry 2 550kg bombs.

-it was equiped with an mg15, so it could be used also as a kind of "troop hunter". hovering around the city watching for any enemy troops who try to take the maproom when the flags white.

Quote or your lying.

I believe he said no to the B29 as well. yet i believe its in the game isent it?

he said no to the B29 having nukes. the B29 would come, but the way people were asking for it (nukes enabled) it wouldnt have come.

i quote your lack to research correctly.

still waiting on that "no to heli's" quote pumpkin.

i saw HT himself say no to heli's himself. still searching for it, just about 200 pages with the words "helicopter" and "no"

A Storch, Grasshopper or Lysander would be a much better idea, but they should not carry supplies.

in the OP, i saw that he wants to "pick up downed pilots" -10000 to that.

For someone who's asking for realistic bombing speed, why would you say no to them carrying supplies when thats what the Drache did in WWII?

if you obviously know how to do EVERYTHING then why dont you search for it? you seem to be doing my job. so, go ahead. i could take a break.

What was the lift capacity of the thing?  I highly doubt it carried anything like the weight needed to resupply a tank or an airbase.  The supplies it carried were probably light weight materials for infantry.

Because your the one who's saying Hitech said that. Your making the claim, Im asking you to prove your claim. If you cant then its likely your lying. Its not my job to prove your claim. Its yours.

Quote from the website:
For cargo transport a load-carrying beam was used to carry heavy or bulky loads suspended beneath the helicopter by cable, which had a pilot-operated, electric quick-release mechanism at its lower end. The maximum load actually carried by an Fa 223 by this method was 1,280kg,

Paragraph 11.

Most of the equipment required for the various roles the Fa 223 was to perform could be fitted to or removed from the basic machine, the various equipment being as follows. For all roles except training, an FuG 17 radio, FuG 101 radio altimeter, nose-mounted MG 15 machine-gun, and an observer's seat were fitted. Additional equipment required was a rescue cradle, winch and electric motor operating through the fuselage floor, for reconnaissance and rescue; a hand camera pointing through the cockpit floor, for reconnaissance and anti-submarine duties; a jettisonable 300 litre (66 Imp gal) auxiliary fuel tank, for reconnaissance; fuselage racks and two 250kg bombs for anti-submarine work. For cargo transport a load-carrying beam was used to carry heavy or bulky loads suspended beneath the helicopter by cable, which had a pilot-operated, electric quick-release mechanism at its lower end. The maximum load actually carried by an Fa 223 by this method was 1,280kg, which was greater than by any other contemporary helicopter. However, carrying loads suspended by cable proved tiring for the pilot on long flights, and, during troop-supplying trials, stabilizing surfaces fitted to the loads were found to give some improvement. The remaining equipment which could be fitted was a Luftwaffe dinghy stowed in the tail section, respirator racks and, for training purposes only, dual controls.
