I mean they never did a search and rescue. The closest choper that saw combat or action was one that was lauced off CVs for sub hunting I think it carryed 1 or 2 deph charges. IIRC

Sorry, I didn't know it had to pass YOUR acceptance test to
make it into AH. Not that I was asking for that to happen anyway,
but you were still wrong...even after I posted the information
link first..amazing.

Did you ever think of this "hmmm mabey he didnt see the link" and its not MY acceptance tesst its HTCs thier not going to just put any thing in the game you have to post something that shows they did something during the war. And overlag the nikis were built in the hurdreds IIRC it was something like 500 and they were use more then once.

You have too much time on your hands Furball :D

I posted this in the CT about 6 months ago. No one came.
Rescue Mission Name: Behind enemy lines
Mission brief;
A pilot has been reported down behind enemy lines. The mission is to rescue the pilot and bring him back home.
A pilot will fly over enemy territory and bail out (or ditch). He will parachute to the ground and only be able to communicate over the channel 200 in the game. This will make it as if the enemy is listening to his transitions. The downed airman may communicate as much as he wants on channel 200.
What the pilot cannot do.
The pilot may not use the map to vector in or use it in anyway to help, communicate or see where the friendly aircraft are. Even today, those capabilities are not feasibly available (bad guys will pick up the radar signal). This will ruin the scenario and the mission. The pilot may not communicate on any channel but channel 200.
The rescue aircraft must be a 2 seat aircraft or vehicle of some kind. If it is an aircraft, it must land at which time the airman my join the person flying the aircraft. The pilot will them takeoff and RTB. The rescued airman may operate any armament on the aircraft, but may not fly it.
If the rescue vehicle is a ground vehicle, the downed airman must wait until the vehicle in within 500k. Then he can join with that driver. The rescued airman may operate any armament on the vehicle, but may not drive it.
Mission Success; Airman is returned to any allied base.
Mission failure; Airman is killed or captured.
Allied air forces may use any aircraft or vehicle available and up from any allied locations.
Axis air forces may use any aircraft or vehicle available and up from any Axis locations.
Anyone interested?

I think it's a good idea, but the trouble would be finding someone that would want to stop what their doing and come get you. I suppose squiddies would, but it seems almost impossible to have someone bring you GV supplies half the time, let alone run a mission to pick you up. A PBY would be cool for sea rescues though, and a M-3 for ground would'nt be hard to do. Just type the .join (id) command when your within 1000 yards And your in.
