Title: Chopper
Post by: red26 on June 12, 2006, 12:36:53 PM: In WWII there was a chopper it was called the Sikorsky R-4B "Hoverfly" . Its first flight was on May 1944 by Col. Philip G. Cochran. It would be great for resuplying bases at a close ranges so you wouldnt hav to fire up a big C-47 you could just jump in a Hoverfly and take off with a load of supply,.
Of course the load would be smaller than in a 47 but it shure would be fun.
:aok :noid :rolleyes:

and it says that it could have bomb racks on it too:aok :D

Post by: Meatwad on June 12, 2006, 07:48:10 PM: Oh yeah complete your missing in CT and you earn points to sleep with a nurse. The more points you have, the better chance of getting a high class nurse in the supply closet
Title: Chopper
Post by: VooWho on June 12, 2006, 08:12:07 PM: But wouldn't the higher ranking nurses be old women? I perfer the nurse behind the desk at the pyshcal exam office :O

P.S. If this is to graphic for kids plz tell me and I will remove picture from the post. TO LATE AT SUMMER SCHOOL!
Title: Chopper
Post by: Meatwad on June 12, 2006, 09:29:12 PM: Well it depends. Some that are high class are young but stuck up brats. Even if one is in her 30's, as long as she is hot and has a good body its worth it. Besides, by then they have experience and know how to work it

I think this thread will soon turn bad after this message

Post by: red26 on June 19, 2006, 10:22:36 AM: I just thought since we had jeeps since they dont support any real purpose that we could have choppers. And in the Il-5,7 there is no casetts or how ever you spell it they were like cluster munitions would be nice for taking out tanks and or hangers.:aok :O :noid

Title: Chopper
Post by: red26 on June 19, 2006, 02:01:20 PM: Yall think Im being stupid or something but im not the jeep has a little 50 or 60 cal on it wow what good is that going to do when a 47 BOLT hits ya you might as well throw BB's at a pissed off Grizzly Bear so what would it hurt to have a choper in the game?:O

Title: Chopper
Post by: red26 on June 19, 2006, 02:42:14 PM: The R-4 was first used in combat in May 1944. In a letter to a friend, Col. Philip G. Cochran, Commanding Officer (CO) of the 1st Air Commando Group, wrote "Today the 'egg-beater' went into action and the damn thing acted like it had good sense.":aok :O
Title: Chopper
Post by: Bronk on June 19, 2006, 02:47:35 PM: I did see my edit? So you want a 75 mph no gun target? See the little part about no guns?
With the burn multiplier of the ma it will make the 163 fight time seem like an eternity.

It was a short range recon and medevac craft nothing more.

Title: Chopper
Post by: SIM on June 19, 2006, 07:00:13 PM: Gotta reply to this one.

Helicopters were used operationally by the US during World War II as search and rescue aircraft over the "Hump". The first rescue by a USAAF helicopter happened April 25-26, 1944 in Burma.
The Museum of Aviation, near Robins Air Force Base in Macon Georgia, has a display with pictures of the helicopters in Burma. This same display gives information about their flights and usage. The main problem found with "choppers" was that the air was too thin for the machines to really operate. The technology was just too "new".

A "long distance" rescue can be read about here. (http://www.chicagocentennialofflight.org/aircraft_sikorskyr4.htm)
