would love to have an optional Helicopter for dropping troops or supplies:


"There were eight Army units that flew helicopters in WWII, the most famous being the 1st Air Commando Group. However, the 1st through 6th Aircraft Repair Units (Floating) flew R-4 and R-6 helicopters, as did the 8th Emergency Rescue Squadron."




additionally......I would love two other things:

an ALL NAVAL arena

Subs (on rare occasions....a sub would pop-up from time to time...and could be sunk for perk points)

There were no troop drops using helicopters during the war. Helicopters saw very limited use as artillery spotters and cargo carriers and the US Army did execute a successful medivac with a YR-4. Flying one might be fun, but it would only have capabilities similar to the Storch.

If subs are introduced in any capacity, some zeppelin air ships (sub hunters) would be cool.  Slow and easy to kill, but cool...


Pretty sure the US Navy had a fleet of them.

So if we get pig boats in AH3, you will need to keep your full dirty cloths hamper open next to your PC to get the immersion effect as the captain. Or you can explain to your wife that you didn't take a shower all weekend to immerse yourself in the "Pig Boat" experience.

would like to see some enhancements on the naval side of things however my   :airplane: wish is to have a catalina or other flying boats that we can land on water and pull up to the dock at ports for no other reason than it being cool.  We can then remove the storch from ports (and end the shenanigans that take place with pilots instantly bailing and running around on base)  and replace it with whatever landing on water aircraft that are added.

Another wish to accompany this is that pilots should be able to swim or survive in the water long enough to be picked up.  Maybe a time limit of 10 minutes before they get eaten by sharks.   

Another wish add sharks that eat downed pilots after spending to long in the water.  Let's think GTA5.    :D
