What? The US army currently operates 425 CH-47Ds, as well as a handful of MH-47s.

Anybody got a list of confirmed .9 new things?

Any confirmed added vehicles, maps, factions, class changes?

We need chxxxxlogs

I don't expect you to dig up the post where you think they said that, but I'm skeptical of it. The Chinook is appropriate for Kashan, Qinling or any interim 4x4km map with factions that use them IRL.

That was the Merlin:


This is the Chinook in game on Qinling:

Actually i didnt know bout the merlin in UN colours, i was thinking about a youtube video with a title something like "project reality HD". it definitely had hd in the title, and it was a series of pr pics editted to look better. One of them was definitely a chinook in UN livery. Trust me i should know considering i have flown in one, if i didnt then i would be a moron.

Eitherway, the US operate them IRL so its possible they will operate them in game.

That is the UN chinook, just to prove me right

Found the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2WUfmAkf6s

1:26 is the Chinook

But would they be ingame?

That's just photoshopped from this:

Both have RAF livery.

chinooks are cool hopefully it will have some miniguns on it

HAHA, big dreams. They'll probably be armed with M240s. I seriously doubt they'll have M134s, seeing as only the MH-47s of the 160th SOAR in the US Army arm their Chinooks like that. And I haven't seen one SOCOM faction in PR.

Wow, people who are not in the military are quick to post their extensive knowledge of US operated helos.

Fast-roping is not a very common practice, yes most Marines in helo companies are trained to do it (like I was) yet my whole time in, I never fast-roped in a real combat operation.

US Army utilizes the CH-47 Chinook and the UH-60 Blackhawk, the Marines use the CH-46 Sea Knight (V-22 Osprey is slowly going to phase these out) and the CH-53 Sea Stallion (These are their general names, I know we use the Super Stallion, etc.).

The largest helos in the US military are typically the fastest helos, such as the CH-53 which is faster than an Apache.

This wasnt a prediction, quite the opposite in fact. i saw a dev blog by uk_force about the new jackal. On it was a mark 19 GMG, which i believe was shot down in flames when it was suggested a while ago. its good that its there,because its there IRL, but wasnt it considered overkill by the devs?

You are aware it's not for PR but for the VBS2?

darn, i just thought it was a making method or something. in that case, why is he posting a dev blog for another game on a pr site.

It's just a blog for all the devs to post anything they want, hes not the only one to post something not PR related there you know

DEV blogs are not the same as PR highlights, the PR devs do have things in their lives other than PR mate they have their portfolios to consider.

they can put whatever they want in their blogs, their favourite breakfast if they like they just won't put their favourite breakfast in the PR highlights
