UH-1 entered service in 1963.

the germans actually had a two rotor helicopter like a chinook.

transported mostly supplies and didnt have defense.

could be used for troops.

(http://www.scientistsandfriends.com/images/scans/Fa223-1.jpg)

Focke was displaced by the National Socialists and he started a small company called Focke-Achgelis in which he devoted his full time to rotary wing aircraft. He conducted over 2,000 wind tunnel tests to prove his concept. He would go on to help design the first large helicopter, the Fa 223, that could lift 1,500 lbs. It had a cruise speed of 125 mph.1

Could carry light cargo or 2 250 kg bombs. Its main action was in the alps but the allies bombed them faster than they could make them.
In my opinion this could had make it VERY far as a light infantry support aircraft if also fitted with manned Mg's and if the factory's went bombed faster than they made them.

The US also had a chopper but saw EXTREMELY little to no action, Forgot the name but it was so light armor that there was a rumor once that a spear like object took it 1 down.

It looks like a glider fuesel loge with large reorders (the prop)...

The UH-1 "Huey"s' main role was a a GUNSHIP but it saw many roles.And if this was a Vietnam Sim,the "Huey" would be and if not the first thing to be in it would be the 1st thing I(and probably many more)would ask for.

Actually transport.  UH=Utility Helicopter.  AH= Attack Helicopter.  AH-1  "Cobra" main roll was GUNSHIP.

Most Huey "Gunships" were modified in the field like the Guntrucks, by GI's hanging guns off of them.

Kind of misleading here.   Only the Hogs (UH-1C's and M's of which around 760 were built total) were used as "gunships".     IIRC around 7,000 saw service "In Country."   So to make your post about 10% of the entire fleet of UH-1's sound "like they were all gunships", is incorrect.

No, it's main role was a transport/utility helicoptor, hence the U in the designation.  The UH-1C was the variant that was specifically developed as a gunship until the AH-1 was available for operational service.  Basically, it was in interem solution until a better one (the AH-1) became available.  Some models of the UH-1B were also converted into gunships.

I was playing a game called World In Conflict, and we have tactical nukes there... Theyre AWESOME!!! But they wouldn't fit with AH. Even in WiC, which was designed with the tactical nuke in mind (The game almost revolves around it) if you are looking at the patch of ground where that nuke hits, youre frame rate goes to NOTHING. And while its really not that upsetting to the game overall (Radiation affects your tanks and infantry as well, so rather than opening up a CP to be captured, you really are just taking it off the map. Plus, they require a lot of points to be stored, for a last-ditch effort.) even in a game for them, they do kinda screw things up a bit. Fortunately, almost no one ever uses them.

But, just a little bit of a teaser:

(http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc74/Serene_One/World%20In%20Conflict/TwinNukes.jpg)

(http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc74/Serene_One/World%20In%20Conflict/QuinticentialShot.jpg)

I tried to break down the stages of a nuke in game, so you could see what AH would have to develope, but this is the best I could do with that FR:

(http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc74/Serene_One/World%20In%20Conflict/Nuke4-1.jpg)

So, much more preferable arr the slightly more conventional weapons, such as napalm:

(Watch the infantry :D )

This is not a hijack, just an insight into how some other games that DO have nukes work. While the Nuke may be uber, the absolute BEST tactical aid (As theyre called) Is just a well timed airstrike and a coordinated tank assault. Wait, AH has airplanes... and tanks... so why the **** do we need a nuke?

Hmm... this just in!!! After having the UH-1 Heuy had entered service in AH, HTC is next putting in the F-22 and the Super Cobra. Good Try but the closest thing your going to get to a helicopter in Aces High is hitlers dragonfly and that was only used for strictly suppiles. And HTC is never gonna put this reckage in the game unless, of course, if they mounted a 20mm minigun under it with 12 hellfire missiles on the wings......oh wait thats the modern day Apache!!

Heres a look at the "Hitlers Dragon" i was refering to that was actually used in the war!

The UH-1 "Huey"s' main role was a a GUNSHIP but it saw many roles.And if this was a Vietnam Sim,the "Huey" would be and if not the first thing to be in it would be the 1st thing I(and probably many more)would ask for.
MAIN ROLE=TRANSPORT

instead of helicopters,which came into their own POST WAR how about the gyroplane? It did have a practical use,inso far as it helped calibrate the British radar,thus playing a pivotal role in halting the german advance

I don't think FAEB did, (IIRC Thermobaric muntions, etc. are a more modern thing) but I know napalm did. In fact, the only time TRUE napalm was used IIRC was in WWII. Everything since then has been a different chemical mixture than 'napalm', the name just stuck.

IIRC, (And this may be VERY flawed, im trying to pull memories from years ago, when I dont even remember this morning...) Napalm was originally used in flame-throwers and as incendiaries in BUFFs, so yes, the Phillipines and Japan would have felt the burn.
