"I thought I told you this was a one way trip?"
"Looks like it still is."

NOTE:

• LOAD THIS MOD UNDER THE SRTS MOD TO AVOID POSSIBLE ERRORS
• IF YOU MERGE TWO OR MORE HELICOPTER CARAVANS, you will lose a helicopter if launched on a map. Be sure to split them into separate caravans for each aircraft before returning to base/performing a raid, you cannot use one to carry another for now due to coding reasons.

What do the helicopters do?

They fly you to places and blow things up; They can be used for caravans and trading with other factions. Each helicopter has their own fuel efficiency, they come in various shapes and sizes that affect their speed and carrying capacity. Each helicopter has seating limits written in their description. Some helicopters are designed for transporting and heavy lifting, while some are for fast hitting bomb runs.

You can use these to perform raids or to travel to places, depending on your helicopter you can also perform bomb runs or precision bombing (Close Air Support) thanks to the features added by Smash Phil for SRTS.

Helicopters also explode when damaged, their blast radius depends on how much fuel was inside it. Be sure you have acceptable fire safety procedures in your base.

Because they can be used for caravan, you can perform CASEVAC (Casualty Evacuation) and heal your wounded in the world once you've sent the helicopter off the in-game map. You can also move large quantities of items with ease, very useful for any situation.

Helicopters require research in the Red Horse tab, depending on what you wish to build you may need a pawn with high construction skills, lots of steel and plasteel and the rare spacer components.
