so the answer is yes, it is possible, and i think is already included (presuming they finished that aircraft bug free in time, if not it should be in an update patch soon)

a little history on the topic:

The first Hoverfly Is reached the UK at the beginning of 1944. German Fl 282s and Fa 223s were in various forms of service test from 1942 on, but never reached a true operational capability. Their primary contribution to the German war effort was evading capture by advancing allied armies. The U.S. Was the only nation with a true operational helicopter capability with deployments to the Far East from mid '44 on. In the interests of self-aggrandisement, here's an article I wrote on the subject: http://www.airspacemag.com/military-...rom-Luzon.html
