Will there be seats in the chinook where people can spawn inside the chopper? and im guessing the ramp can go up and down, im asking because me and a couple of mates have been trying some things with the merlin and wed love to do it in the chinook, thx

The Dev team has not released the infomation on that. I don't think there will be, but best bet is to wait for there response.

Im pretty sure its going to work just like the merlin.
@ Maxfragg and im pretty sure it will come ingame after 0.8 or maybe even 0.8
Thats what i heard.
/Offtopic
that story of the pineacle landing on a public server with the merlin was fun to hear, lol

yes me and my two mates tried it out in a public server (pinacle landing) we did it a couple of times it did work and on top of the roof we did it on and it was effective (just our pilot needs to practice a bit more) we had orginally seen a chinook do it in a realife on a hill sort of thing on youtube, we will be making a short video of our own pinacle landing so look out for it

effectivly the merlin and chinook have the same role, the diference is the chinook can carry more personnel and also light heavier loads, for example CVR(T)`s and 109mm light guns

ingame i'd expect big merlin (remember, max seats = 8 in BF2), I dunno if its armed either.

deffo not armoured can seat if i remember right 30 people but reduces the amount of space inside they can add or remove seats as needed.
the only protection it has is angel like a chaffs system plus GPM side gunner

I don't see a tendency to put spawn points on vehicles.
They had it on support trucks then removed it.

an idea springs to mind, i wonder if you can have spawn locations inactive above land as well as above somthing like 5 meters so you could spawn through the drop port on the bottom in the right circumstances

How about a truck that can be a movable rallypoint? when the SL is in the 2nd seat, and press "T" he creates a rallypoint inside the truck!

heres my thought put a dune bugy in the back of a chinook and be able to drop it like a blackhawk drops a supply crate and be able to see the bugy in the back. i got the image from join ops tr sorry about the bad quality

Hopefully there won't be spawn points in it.I think the spawning into vehicles (APC's) thing left us in .5
It will probably be like all the rest (Merlin)..

JOINT OPS! i played it out of nostalgia a couple of days ago, but it had so much wrong with it, and only a few aspects that were fooking awesome
my question is, since teh chinook is BIG, will it have 2 supply crates?
