not sure about that, but the dutch modders seem enthusiastic about spawning a vehicle form the chinook

Couldn't it be like the supply crate drop?

This could make LCACs possible in theory.

FOr a long time I've been watching his progress. I remember the first pages of Ice Killer's topic with his first models.

Great work, I hope see it flying in 0.8

dear god its beautiful!

also sry for the double post, but theres two things that need answering:

1. jeeps cannot fit inside it as due to the bf2 engine i.e. collision mesh both jeep and helo will just explode if this is attempted
2. for the love of god, there is NO fastropes!

G.Drew · Post by **G.Drew** » 2008-04-27 01:04

yet another question need answering (wheres the edit button!)

3. personally i dont know the armament the Chinook is getting, but from what ive heard (ie family member that flies chinnoks) its probably either two door mounted MGs or two M134s mounted on the side doors

(plus i think another MG is mounted on the rear door, but im not if thats possible to do here)

I really hope that's a joke. If not .. you -did- read the post that was only 2 above your own post, right?

Technically, vehicles could spawn from the back of the chopper.

But driving one inside it and bringing it along, no way.

The same thing could be used to spawn a supply box from support trucks and transport helis. Instead of a supply crate spawning, make it a vehicle? Military bike or light transport.

I like the idea of it spitting out a DPV or something. I guess it's only a matter of time before we would see chinooks swooping down low over enemy troops and dropping cars on their heads though.
