Actually it's a good question and would be a beneficial addition to the sim, far from being in the same league as antartica-based UFOs or other fantasy scenarios.

After all he didn't demand a chopper on release, he just asked if it's possible to some day have choppers in the simulator's engine which, judging from the long-confirmed knowledge of an upcoming Korean war add-on, is something that would be useful in the context of it.

New mission builder triggers + cessna o-1 birddogs + skyraider + helicopters = awesome pilot rescue missions in multiplayer

Well Autogyros did play an important part in the Battle of Britain.

They were also active in the lead up to the Battle of Moscow.

Helicopters proper were also used in Korea.

So the only place (for which a sim is planned) where rotary winged aircraft are completely out of place is the Mediterranean.

What part of "planned Korean war add-on" is giving you comprehension troubles?

Just because it's not a priority for BoB doesn't mean it's a completely useless addition. We already have an autogyro in SoW after all and all they did was calibrate radars which were, oh i don't know, maybe one of the most important tools in deciding the battle's outcome?

Sure, most probably we'll only be flying it on custom made missions with triggers and it won't have much combat relevance, but it's such an exotic aircraft that finding a valid excuse to include it in the planeset is a noteworthy decision.

To be honest, i've reached a point where i'm more interested in studying and flying the aircraft, whatever that may be, instead of just engaging into combat with no real knowledge of what i'm driving and why it works the way it does. If triggered objectives are incorporated into a revised multiplayer mode with long-running campaigns, i think i'll be spending much more time flying weird planes or weird missions, at the very least multi-engined bombers, than duking it out in single seaters every single time. Depending on the success of the series and what future add-ons might bring, i think i'll be spending most of my time chasing U-boats in a Catalina, flying agents to France in a Lysander, flying photo-recon, marking targets as a pathfinder or going on raids with Mosquitos. In 18 years of simming i've seen all kinds of simulated single seater combat, it's the obscure stuff i'm itching to know about now.

Who knows, maybe i'm getting old, but i've come to appreciate the satisfaction i get when getting a win almost purely due to superior planning instead of superior combat skill

Interesting info about the Soviet autogyros as well Avinimus, i had no idea they were used in combat or even existed for that matter.

Yes yes.. thanks for clearing that up for me man.. i just think it would bring a whole new nice little gameplay into it too. (not that I dont like the current gameplay). Plus, Ive been craving a good modern combat helicopter simulator for a while now. I know Oleg could do it!
