we need the Focke Achgelis Fa 223 in AH
it WAS used in WWII. Germans planned to use it to get Mussolini out of jail in 1943 but it wouldn't work. Flew across the English Channel post-war. Rescued a downed German pilot behind enemy lines.

no thx
stick to your battleship wishes. they prolly have a better chanse
-
What purpose would it serve in the game?
-
Why have a helicopter that doesn't work?
:D
-
Back in WWII helicopters were brand stinking new. I wouldn't wanna fly a literal piece of garbage that would not offer me any benefits except to hit the brakes in mid-flight.

imagine the over shoot ;)
you COULD use it to drop troops.......... Top speed: 75 MPH!
wow!! you'll NEVER catch that!! nope! no way in hell!
-
low level penetration, could land next to map room if deacking isnt goin well, i think its a good idea for an alternative C47
-
best alternative to c47 would be ju52
-
wouldnt it be nice to land next to the map room instead of dropping MG targets?

Name one helicopter in World War II that was capable of carrying 10 soldiers with full combat gear plus 1-2 crew members.
ack-ack

it would be an easy target as it only went 70MPH it would be like hitting a chute except much biger that is why we don't have heilcopters
and the JU-52 would be a great addition to the C-47 as it was hitlers go around airplane it could carry more than 10 me n easily
I also had another thought I probly will get negitive feedback on this but what about the ME-323 gigant it had 6 engines and rockt assited it could be a great cargo plane you could drop a tank in the middle of the battle it could carry over 300 people just i do not know how fast it went I bet you it wasint that very fast though
-
u could come in low, land next to the map room, release troops, and get outta there
-
it could ony carry only 3 troops you would need at least 4 to drop troops it wouldnt work
-
Only around 20 were built and it only had one MG (I think it was a 7.9mm) and could carry 2x 250kg bombs. Max speed was around 110mph. The one that did see action were used as transports. So we will never see in the the game mainly because of the numbers built and because we already have a caro plane.
So no.

It acually 4 MGs I thougt it wasn't going to fly but imagine seeing 300 paratropers falling to the ground

Focke Achgelis FA-223 Drache
Primary Function: transport
Crew: one
Seats: five troops
Engines: 1 R-1,000 hp
Length: 49' 1"
Height: 14' 4"
Rotors/Diameter: 2- 39' 5" ea.
Weight Empty: 7,000 lbs.
Max. Weight: 9,500 lbs.
Cruise Speed: 75 mph
Max. Speed: 109 mph
Est. Climb Rate: 1,200 fpm
Ceiling: 23,000 feet
Range: 435 miles
First Flight: 8/40
Year Deployed: 1942
The FA-223 Drache (Dragon) first flew in Aug. 1940. In Oct. 1940 Karl Bode flew a prototype breaking records for helicopter speed, climb rate and ceiling. Based on the results of test flights an initial order was placed by the military for 30 helicopters with materials ordered for an additional 70. Three prototypes were eventually pro- duced. Initial production was to be in five versions: Anti submarine, observation/recon, rescue, transport, and as a trainer. After further testing it was decided to produce the FA-223 in one adaptable version instead of the five as originally planned. As with many German WW II military projects, production was limited due to government indecision and the Allied bombing of supplies and man- ufacturing facilities. The Germans did use it for flying in supplies, and also use it for medical evacuations. Would be a slow easy to hit target, and extreamely lucky to get to a target without really good air cover.

Yes it does matter and have you paid any attention to any of the posts besides your own?
A helicopter would be of no use in AH. It would never make it to the target unless it was the only thing flying in the arena. It would take multiple trips or a massive air assault in order to take a base using helicopters and even then if the assault is opposed, the helicopters would most likely be shot down before they even get close the base.
Use some common sense and if you don't have any, then I have an idea for your next Wishlist post.

what would that be lol

If so yea we need it, it was used in combat twice and tested once before. Hell if anything should be in the game the n00k should because it ended the war.
