Can they spot submarines?
Many helicopters have dipping sonars, as well as being able to deploy sonobuoys, just like in the vanilla game.
Their main use is anti-submarine warfare really, though rather than detecting, they are useful for rapidly getting to the position of the submarine and being able to drop a torpedo extremely close to it.
Some countries also have AWACS helis for long range air detection, such as the UK's Sea King ASaC7.
If you're asking about reconnaissance helicopters then no, they cannot. They are land based and meant for scouting out enemy land positions and ships nearing the coast.
Where is the actual download link? Very exciting list you put together. Thanks!
