Fallout Re: Survivability and aircraft

There is a thread where some of us discussed this about helicopters in particular around 2 or 3 yrs. ago. Basically it was felt that as we can buy these units and add them to our "core" units that they should receive a crew survivorbility rating due to ejection seats in many modern AH types but most importantly do to mandatory training and qualification standards of helicopter pilots known as autorotation or autorotative flight. I would still like to see this for helos ONLY in the game. One can dream after all.

The basics of this procedure is discussed below...
