Helicopters?! will it ever be possible?

[ImpalerNL]

You guys know that helicopters didnt play any significant role in ww2??

Am I the only one here who remembers that Oleg said that SOW's engine is made in such a way as to include coding for technology that is modern?
What I mean is that I seem to remember him using 'Nam and even some modern tech as examples of what the engine is capable of, so I'm crossing my fingers that I some day will be able to get an order to skim the treetops in my AH-1W Cobra from my flightleader
A Sandy, F-4 and a couple of Mig's would keep me busy for quite a while, but flying an AH would be really REALLY cool if the series ever goes to 'Nam

It is actually much more likely than the jets (much less avionics etc.)

My own guess is that Oleg and is programmers wanted to try pushing their flight model and thought it would be fun to have something that goes "whirrrrr". Autogyros just happen to fit the correct time period.

It is interesting that my guess about the A-7 being a possibility for SoW:BoM appears to be right (although Oleg has only hinted that it might not be inappropriate for the map).

I'd love to shoot down choppers in SoW. There wasn't that many around during WW2 though so including them shouldn't exactly be a priority IMO.
