Actually the Hoverfly did fly in combat, it rescued some folks in Burma where it was deployed, and because of it's size (could only bring back a couple guys at a time) had to spend the night on the ground in the combat area before flying out with the last men the next morning.

I do not know if I would call SaR operations actually active combat. That's what german choppers did, too, foremost in alpine environments. Also with a bit of recce thrown in.
Actually, the Drache was planned to be used in the special operation to free Mussolini, which would have made it the first SpecOps choppers. Only technical difficulties prevented it from doing so.

UP 3 already has some helos in it.

Voted yes, as long as it's in the proper theater in a future expansion (Korea, Vietnam, etc).

Ooooh yeah!

Helicopters would be great!

And submarines and race cars too!!! Lol

I love helicopters ( flying them RC :)), if historical correct for the time frame I say:

BRING IT ON!

+1

Helicopters involve even more complex flight models and AI than we have now. If it's taken this long to get what we have (which couldn't be called complete in any case), you're living in fantasy land if you think that all the time and effort for a couple of SAR birds (at best) is going to be worthwhile and profitable. My 2c...much though it 'would be nice to have', it just isn't going to happen.

This :D

If you want choppers I believe there is a simulation called DCS:BlackShark. Probably the best chopper sim you can get, it will satisfy your need completely!!!
