I knew the Sikorsky was big, but comparing it to the Chinook it's lifting... :shock:

Offtopic, much? Or are you talking about ingame, in which case of course, I've always hoisted my enhanced project reality including the chinook with other choppers, though you seem to have forgotten the fastropes I always use.

I ment in game, but The point was that I didn't know they did roof top landing like that in real life...

"November 2003, a U.S.-led coalition launched Operation Mountain Resolve in the Nuristan and Kunar provinces of Afghanistan. The above-displayed photograph of the precarious-looking rooftop landing by a CH-47 Chinook helicopter was taken during that operation by U.S. Army Sgt. Greg Heath. The Chinook helicopter is touching down to receive Afghan Persons Under Control (APUC) captured by members of the U.S. 10th Mountain Division"

Yes, vague titles always happen to me, it is very annoying.

@GoreZiad - that is an Mi-26 lifting the Chinook.

Yeah man, Every match we use the chinook (which is already in PR BTW just invisible to the noobed eye) to do 1337 prisoner extractions from mountain rooftops. Then occasionally the chinook crashes and is recovered by the other hard to see heavy lift chopper. :wink:

I did do a rooftop insertion on Basra with the Merlin and its ramp.

That is an awesome Chinook pilot. Must be some winds going on there.
