Focke-Achgelis_Fa_223

The Fa 223 "Drache" was the largest built helicopter during WWII. There are two variants in FHSW, the freight version which was called Fa 223D and a fictional variant with two Nbw 41 launchers. The driver of the helicopter can either fire the twelve rockets or drop ammunition crates by parachute and hover the vehicle. There is only twelve rockets onboard so it has to resupply once emptied. This vehicle can be used in various ways. Since it has a high crew capacity it can be used as a transport vehicle to get to places that are hard to reach. Or it can be used as a gunship, using the rockets and machine guns to harass the only to return again and again with new rockets. Or to make a breaktrough enemy lines, quickly providing infantry support whilst supporting with said rockets.

Supply Version[]

Instead of carrying rockets this version of the helicopter has eight ammunition crates that can be dropped by parachute to the ground below like other transport aircrafts such as the Junkers Ju 52 Tante Ju and Messerschmitt Me 323. It is fitted with MG 81 machine guns just like the other variant of the helicopter.
