The Chinook

[Outlawz7]

Well Mi-17 can be used as a road vehicle due having the wheels down, so...

[arjan]

Dunno if it stands in this thread, but how big will this thing be?
In comparison to for example the merlin.

[arjan]

allright thanks drew
but will it be on real scale?
Since alot of vehicles in PR (specially bf2v vehicles) are pretty tiny compared to real life.

[Masaq]

It will of course be in-scale with all the other vehicles.

[ReaperMAC]

I hope the testers will take it into account when testing the water capabilities.

Perhaps, if we are not to busy fastroping out of it.

Three of these big boys just flew over my office on their way to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham, pretty low flying and hovering for a bit, and i'll tell you. they are LOUD.

Windows shaking, people going outside to have a look kinda loud.

They are BEASTS, when rhino say's they need a map big enough he's not joking!

hehe, one flying low over my house the other day shook it quite a bit, dont get many Chinooks round here, get loads of Sea Kings, Lynxes etc but that's cos I've got a Fleet Air Arm base next to me, as well as Westlands

[.:iGi:.NinjaJedi]

its a bit worrying tbh, three chinooks flying to selly oak hospital cant be good news....

EDIT: unless they're training maybe...

I say a NATO vs Insurgent map somewhere in Afghanistan, with enough flat opium fields where the Chinooks can land. Some small villages who can be encountered either by air or by light combat vehicles. And enough weapon cashes for everyone!

Pretty much Operation: Archer without all the mountains and the castles add a lil bit more vegetation and there you have it

Ah-64,Merlin,Lynx,Little birds,Huey and now Chinook - I kind of feel bad for the OPFOR "stuck" with EA models.Don't they make helicopters in Russia as well ?

Mi-26 owns your little prissy chinook.

But it's so big ... It would require a map twice the size of Kashan. So no, big no.

[Psyko]
