CH-47 Chinook Questions (mounted guns + more chinooks?)

[Jmek91]

Hi all,

I understand that the CH-47 Chinook can be equipped with three 7.62mm guns, one on either side of the helicopter and one on the ramp, though I'm unsure if this is only a feature on certain variants. If this is in fact correct, are their any plans to incorporate these onto the Chinook in the future?

Also, are there any other maps that the Chinook will be making an appearance on? The only maps I get to play relatively often that have a Chinook are Silent Eagle and Operation Archer.

Despite what some people may say, I think the CH-47 is the most enjoyable helicopter to fly in PR if you do it well.

Oh, and this is my first post, so apologies if this has been asked before. I did a quick search and skimmed but didn't see anything similar.

Thanks,
Jmek91

Resuggestion dude. Try searching a little bit harder next time.

I know it's annoying, as I've been asking why the Hueys aren't armed, when IRL they are almost never not armed in a combat environment.

Edit: And welcome to the forums.

My mistake, thanks for the redirection though.

Also yamalia (the Canadian vs russian open map) has chinooks on.

this would be pretty damn sick though i must say. me and my flatmate (Kossolax) keep saying that if we were privileged enough to be on the ramp of a chinook with a 60 in our hands, we'd spend the whole time whackin one out haha

I'm not sure, but I think the devs said that they are waiting for a GPMG first. So after they have that one done, they might be added. However, I would like to see some arnament added, just for testing. Are people still going to shoot them at random targets? Probably. Will they we used at all? Maybe.

Would I be completely off thinking that some Chinooks come armed with Mk. 19?

I think there is some issue with 40mm grenade and helicopter... Cause its a low velocity weapon so basicly the wind created by rotor will push the grenade in every direction except the one you need to shoot at' lol!

Ugh COD Bollocks. Thats a Seaknight and they don't use Mk 19's in real life.

Having three guns seems like a waste of resources, rather have the Ramp M240/M2.

Mk 19 LOLOLOLOL

[mangeface]

I'm sure that the M240D is more common than the M2 on the ramps. Some aircraft can handle the recoil, some can't. I personally prefer the M240D, as you can carry twice as many rounds, and most of the targets you shoot at are in the open, so you don't need the massive penetration that the M2 has.

Edit: I wouldn't doubt that the Mk-19 has the ability to mount on the ramp, as I know a few CH-53E crew chiefs and they've seen a few shitters with a Mk-19 mounted to the ramp. And I know that the CH-53E is a little more beast than the CH-47 is.

Yea so the chinook isnt armed. it has 2 crates. nearly all the choppers in PR carry 1 crate. its for balancing purposes.

actually I'd venture to say that the reason the Chinook gets 2 crates isn't because it doesn't have weapons, its because its such a huge helicopter, but for now it is indeed super duper fun to hunt Chinooks down using the Russian Trans chopper on Silent Eagle.

Lol, trans on trans action.

[Maxfragg]

seriously, the cases where MGs would have had impact on the game balance are very rare

just shows some aerial gunnery

[SGT_Griggs]

Didnt the CH-53 in AiX have mk-19's on its sides? and as i remember it worked ok...but then again from a realism perspective the rotor down wash would throw them all over the place as previously mentioned. I reckon have a ramp mounted M240 or GPMG, just to keep their heads down

[hornedviper]

how do iu close the back door of the CH-47???

[Rudd]

the door closes when you reach a certain speed and altitude, its automatic. (like landing gear)

Silly thing is you can still get inside even though the door is up.

Quite impossible though since you would be flying. And that not just above the ground
