Before posting rude and un-nice comments hear me out....IN the years 1943 the helicopter was put through final test at military bases and through 1944-1945 it was used by special-ops mostly in the pacific campaign but yes it was used i think it had a 50 cal. in front and could sit 4 people including pilot also i think it could have a rocket on each side cant remember but for real it did exist trust me is would be awesome....it was called the sikorsky R-5 it might of been known as a rescue heli yes. but the special -ops made a version for combat too i am going to post a link but it only shows the navy rescue not the army fighter one http://www.military.cz/usa/air/war/helo/r5/r5_en.htm (http://www.military.cz/usa/air/war/helo/r5/r5_en.htm)

Unfortunately being awesome is not a requirement for inclusion to the game. However, seeing combat in unit strength is.

No but it win the exclusion seat!

I say no to hard to fly slow.

I say no to hard to fly slow.
actually it will be about as hard to fly as in Microsoft flight sim and its ment to to be slow so u can hover think u can destroy ground targets more easily and use it for troops and its smaller then planes so its harder to hit defiantly when hovering.please post when you read any ideas changes yese or nos

What's it weapon? Chopping blade power with kung fu style?

What's it weapon? Chopping blade power with kung fu style?
no....i wish it had kung fu. Yet the navy heli could be fitted with mine or a torpedo and special-ops had a 50.cal in the front and im pretty sure could have a rocket on each side of heli or maybe even more 50.cals?
remember u read u post thats my rules.

please dont let this topic die if it does i make a new topic and i hate doing that please post for the sake of helicopters :noid any who really they need to make one

Did you read your link? The helicopter you linked to was unarmed.
It's empty weight was 3780 lbs. It's max takeoff weight was 4,825 lbs. It had a crew of two, so a manned one would weigh 4180 lbs if you allow 200 lbs for each person. I don't know how much fuel it could carry... lets say 250 lbs of fuel. So, a manned, fueled R-5 would way...4 430 lbs. This would allow under 400 lbs of armament...

PHAIL.....does this count as my post? ;)

fine but my new topic will get ur attention this bomber looks like the p-38 and its nick name is the black widow

that was the navy rescue that i had posted and actully the navy one could have mines on it to drop in ocean ....and the other was used by the army not on my link that had 50.cals and rockets...but any ways im letin topic die

You don't understand the concept of weight, do you?
Depth charges, rockets, and large caliber machine guns are very heavy. Far too heavy for early helicopters.Well since I have to post,
Bubi is that Billy Mays?

Darn.. I read the post, therefore I must reply.
I will agree ( not that my approval, by any means, carries any weight ) to helicopters after all of the following conditions are satisfied:
Every aircraft that saw more combat than the helicopter has been included into the game, plus at least one rebuild for each new addition from now.
Every ground vehicle that served in a combat area more so than the helicopter has been introduced into the game.
Every geographical area where combat was experienced is represented by a practical and useful map.
Naval craft are expanded to include strategic importance and supply features.
Certain arenas contain comprehensive and manageable strat and supply systems that can be attacked, defended, and resupplied.
Skuzzy experiences a 3 month period where no threads need to be locked, no PNGs are necessary to be administered, and Microsoft releases an efficient OS to replace Vista.
Then.. and only after all those conditions are met, will I think that adding helicopters is something that needs to be done.
Amen.

Did you even read the article or any other article about the Sikorsky R-5/H-5? It never saw any action in any combat theater during the war. The USAAF didn't take first delivery of the YR-5 until February of 1945 and it didn't enter into operational status until 1947. it wasn't outfitted with guns or rockets. It was never used as a gunship, however for SAR missions, the copilot and crew chief regularly carried personal weapons if they had to exit the craft to pick up downed airmen.
I think you are confusing the R-5/H-5 with the R-4/H-4, which did see limited duty in the CBI theater of operations and served with the 1st Air Commando Group. The R-4/H-4 was the only US helicopter to see operational duty during World War II and its most famous flight was in 1944 when it was used in Burma to pick up some wounded soldiers behind Japanese lines.
Honestly, if you are going to suggest an aircraft for the game, at least spend some time researching the aircraft to ensure they are relevant to the game.

For all you who want helicopters. With the policy's & rules for aircraft to be included in the game here is the one & only helicopter that qualifies for AH11. Don't ask for anything else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EFt7cLCRSY

same with todays choppers, but the modern ones only go like 250 mph, they slow....yea...right im against this idea, if you want troops take an M3, jeep, or goon, you want rockets take a pony, hog, jug, 38. simple.

You have any idea how light armor that thing was during WWII, rumors of a metal rod like spear thrown out of anger took one down rumor says...
YOU SIR NEED TO STOP PLAYING MEDAL OF HONOR RISING SUN. A chopper in this game would be a slap to society.

I think wee need a ROFLCOPTER first

By 1936, many of the problems had solutions and with the introduction of the German Focke-Wulf Fw 61, the first practical helicopter was a reality. Vertical flight was not a dream anymore.

shure helicopters were used on ww2 but they did not have combat roles, they were used by the germans in the alps to transport supplies in !!harsh mountain terrains!!, something that we dont have much of, unless aces high evolves into more of a battlefield game ( i doubt it ) i dont see helicopters in the game.

Can someone teach this little squeaker how to properly use "In" on a post? Maybe someone can explain it in simple terms that using "In" in a thread that isn't a troll or a flame and no chance of being locked by the moderators is moronic.

I say yes. Being a helicopter pilot myself i sometimes find this game boring because it doesnt have any form of rotary aircraft! Even though rotary was still in the works in WWII i think some would be great for attacking airfields! Maybe even perk them! Or do like the RV-8 and make it unavailible in the MA's!! :devil :salute
-
I don't believe any WWII helicopters were outfitted to attack anything except grass blades, trees, and heads..

Submarines was what the Japanese gyro was used for & I believe it had sunk one. We don't have subs so not much point in having it.

Perfect idea or you can just limit the use of one, like the 163, cept this one only for supps at certain bases, its not like you whiners will die if there is some rotary
