The Chinook helicopter

[G.Drew]

There has been plenty of discussion about this aircraft, especially the chinooks transportation capabilities. The chinook will not be transporting jeeps iirc, not even spawning them, and it probably wont need to. As for what supplies it will be kitted out with, only the Devs know that.

Its armament is also under wraps, but im personally hoping for 2 side mounted miniguns. As for a rear door gun, depending IF the Devs include a moving door, and IF they remodel the FN MAG (M240) or put in a placeholder, then mybe we will, but thats a slim chance imo.

These things are nowhere near slow!

Ive heard that apaches escorting chinooks had trouble keeping the rhythm whit them.

Its logical , with a single rotor heli , the engine's power is shared by both main rotor and tail rotor while the chinook has 100% of is engine power availible for is forward motion.

Yer sometimes if they have casulties on board and have to get back fast, they'll leave their Apache escorts behind coz they're not as fast. And tbh it won't be as much as bullet magnet as everyone is saying, it'll be faster than the Blackhawk and not that much bigger. It's only 2ft higher and and 34ft longer, and this will all be scaled down for PR

It soooooo is possible my friend.

Yeah you can drive the landy in. But I sure as heck don't want to be anywhere nearby when the helicopter tries to take off.

ive seen movie on bf editor forums where some guy created flying platform, and transporting vehicles was possible. He was using implosion(?) effect or something.

You mean this?

i hope the Chinook can carry more then 8 men ... it would be awesome if it could transport cars or anything

[MAINERROR]

... and it wont be transporting cars either.

At least not in foreseeable time.

[TomDackery]

I can't wait for the Chinook to appear. I'm going to blast that huge, slow moving target out of the sky.

Quoted from a former Chinook pilot, in the video @ 1:45 : "I have flown the CH47, it is an EXTREMEly fast aircraft, surprisingly maneuverable."

[Hunt3r]

Hopefully something like a Mk19 will be fitted to the sides and the back. It'd be a huge ball of awesome.
