So this was not exactly one of my hair brained ideas. i see there is actually some interest. That is what i like about the modern tank models. We can incorporate some other elements into the game that weren't really feasible with the WWII tanks. Like Ausf said planes are a little dicey on the battle field and would need a huge amount of space. The heli's could simply patrol the perimeter or only over the playing field limiting the risk factor. just as we stay to the outside of the battle fields with the tanks the heli's would need to stay with in the boundaries. I like the idea and there are definately some heli's very close to scale to our tanks. Hell Iv'e seen airsoft guns on helis on youtube.
