actually... in one of the earlier dev updates didn't they mention something about an autogyro being included in the game? I have no idea what happened to it though.
Something like this: http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/mileston...0-AvroRota.jpg

Voted yes, but only if it's a Vietnam expansion and I can re-enact the scene from 'Apocalypse Now' with the Hueys and listen to 'ride of the valkyries'.

Why not? There have been quite a few helictopters been active during WW2 already.







just a few examples and all of them saw active service during WW2 (not in active combat roles, though).

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.

Absolutely not.. well, not until they have covered all theatres with all main aircraft types included.
But, we will never see that because we will all have passed away by the time they get around to it.. lol!

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!!!
