So far there are only u.s. helicopters in WWII that I can find reliable specs for. They could be used as spotters, or to do supplies/troops.
- Sikorsky R-4/HNS Late War Only

I want a ROFLCOPTER!!!1!1!1!!!11!!

lawl.

:rofl

I think by the guide lines for acceptance into the game it would have to have seen combat & at least at squadron strength. I think the only copter that was used in combat in ww11 & @ unit strength was a Japaneese gyrocopter that dropped depth charges on subs. Still it is a wish list no harm in wishing.

Here we go again.

We have only one Helo in the game... It is painted black and ONLY flown by Voss, sorry.

I think it could be cool, I'd have to think of it's roll in this game though. The problem is I don't think anyone would fly it unless rescue operations were implemented. The C-47 does supplies more efficiently considering how far you have to go from base to base to resupply. However, I could see it being useful in resupplying GV's and such.
The problem I see with rescue operations is that people go down so often in such big numbers, there would have to be choppers flying around constantly. I love flying choppers, but I don't think I'd want to do it constantly like would be required.

:uhoh

What's wrong with that?
-
is this a joke? :rofl
-
I do know they were actually used in Burma dropping supplys and extracting wounded.
But I don't think they actually saw combat, but were used in a support role.
But I'm sure someone else will know more about this than I do.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :huh :huh

well how many people make it to the ground?

The only American helo to see be used was the YR-4. It was used to rescue some downed pilots in Burma. So, it never saw combat, and the Y designation usually means that it is a prototype, not a production aircraft.

Do you even try to search before you post something?

No No No No No No No No No NO NO NO!

I dont know if they did this in WWII, but could the chopper have rockets on it to help take out a town. Not large rockets, but the ones on the fighters and only a few, say 6 or 8.
The might not have had rockets so I dont know, and I am to lazy to look it up right now.

these ones had no armament

you forgot about the German dragonfly, it was used in 1942 to aid the mountion division, get supplies and wounded men out of the area. It seem service before any of those if they ever did.
-
why rescue a downed pilot? so you fly out to the battlefield slowly with the risk of getting ripped apart by flak or cons then pick up the pilot and bring him back to base ..... :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh

Didn't they use Zeppelin's as bombers or transports in late WWI?
I know they where used as passengers transports, we all know the Hindanberg. But I want to say they used them to move cargo
But now I am off topic.
Helos are hard to fly, and slow. (The ones that have been tossed around in the topic) So crushing a furball, I doubt. I can see a chopper with a gun acting as mobile ack. But they where not in WWII, as far as I know.

Didn't the Brits have some sort of armed gyrocopter in use in Britain during the BoB?
-
Zeppelins or any airship would be cool, if only because I'd LOVE HOing them with a B-25H. :devil
-
I would love to see Helicopters added just so i could hover over allied gvs and give directions for the nmes. and to accurately drop sups
-
It'd Look Like 'Nam In The Arenas The Day They Came Out.
That'd Is If They Get Added, Which They Won't.

If you knew the rules for puting a plane in the game you wouldnt have any new threads. So please read a book or two about WWII aviation and stop posting things you think would be cool just because you know nothing.

what are the rules, they need to post the rules and a specific format for our posts. that way the admins could easily read our plane requests.
