This is definitely awesome. Looking forward the gameplay in 1.0!
So mi17 also can be used by PLA now?

So, that means we won't have any medium/heavy transport for the French for v1.0?

The French have called in their Royal Air Force buddies to help out with some old Chinook action.

the cougar didnt make it in then? It's not like I wanted it or anything..

That Osprey looks quite big and fragile. I imagine I'm going to be avoiding that one as a pilot.

I think Pavlovsk is one of those maps where a secured LZ is required alot or you'll get shot down.

The Osprey needs quite alot of room to get rid of its speed so you can drop supplies compared to a huey, but if little ol' me can do it - anyone can

[[uBp]Irish]

I'm guessing you can combine 2x LSC + 1 Heavy Crate to be able to build bigger assets?

[Jafar Ironclad]

Yessir!

[hobbnob]

What happens if you drop a crate whilst going full forward in an Osprey? Will the crate break on impact or is it possible to make it shallow enough that it just skids?

[sm4rtiez]

I'm curious if the Canadian Huey is going to be implemented.

you guys are being spoiled

Will the Germans get a medium/heavy transport chopper due to the fact the Huey will only carry light supply crates?

Hopefully zee Germans get the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion as their medium/heavy transport chopper.

[Kothra]

The Sea Stallion is kind of big, but it'd be better than nothing. What they really need is an NH90.

[Rhino]

The NH90 is the best candidate for the German's Medium Lift Chopper. The CH-53G would be classed as a Heavy Lift Chopper since its lifting capability is around twice that of the NH90s and other Medium Lift Choppers and more or less the same as the lifting capabilities of the Zhi-8KA.

[DDS]

How many troops would the NH90 transport or only used for supply?

[Hulabi]

How many troops would the NH90 transport or only used for supply

Considering that it can carry 20 fully loaded soldiers IRL, i'd guess 8 guys and 1 supply crate.

[Kothra]

I'd imagine it'd be like any other medium transport helicopter: pilot + 7 passengers and 1 heavy supply crate.

Indeed, hence why I said:

And as per the OP:

Rhino;1884767']Medium Transport/Utility Helicopters

The Medium Transport Helicopters which most of you are pretty familiar with are as the name suggested, a medium sized helicopter that are used equally for both troop transport and logistics, carrying a single "Heavy supply Crate" (the crate your all use to in PR and works the same way in v1.0 as it did before) as well as a full load of troops. This class includes the UH-60 Black Hawk and the Mi-17 Hip which is also China's new Medium Lift Helicopter.

Thanks. I like the submarine like portholes.
