sorry if i anoy anyone by asking this question

thanks alot for the help

The Chinook is not in the current .86 Release no. It may come out in the next couple releases rumor has it

aww shucks lol

is there any new vehicles or anything in this patch?

is it basicly just fixing bugs and better graphics and stuff or?

better graphics ? its a patch not a new engine change.

I can't wait for the Chinook to appear. I'm going to blast that huge, slow moving target out of the sky.

seriously... i dont get why every one is so excited to get into a death trap, then complaing its too weak or something else is over powered


i just dont get pilots in general

I know, I just don't see the huge fuss is. It can't carry more troops than the Blackhawk or Huey (in game) and it's a lot bigger, slower, and less agile than the both of those helicopters. It's going to be a bullet magnet. The only thing I see a Chinook doing in PR is falling out of the sky in a ball of flames.

yes its going to be a bullet magnet, but we know that on the map its on, Sangin, there will be an Apache afaik. So expect to see alot of Apache/Chinook joint flights.

Which I think is great!

and it will get extra supplies iirc.

Just like IRL

I hope their is fast robes in the chinook

Chinnok should actually be faster than the Apache and such, so it won´t be sluggish. Can pull some nice moves.

Fixed for you,
I wouldn't get your hopes up as Fastropes are hardcoded, but the I'm sure the Chinook's awesomeness will be good enough.

how many supply crates will their be in it and will there be a chance that a jeep will be in the back for squad in the middle of no where?

Hope there is it will be amazing

I'm hoping for the jeep option too, but dunno, I've heard varying reports of it being a hardcoded no, and a very definite possibility.

Any clarification for the payload of this beast?

(It could even be set up so you need a copilot to drop crates or the jeep)

Robe of Greater Agility? Sweet!
Wait, wrong game...

I think the chinook will make for an interesting game experience. The ability to drop a whole squad and set them to build up a fb will be a great asset to the US.

A door that can be open/closed would be full of win. If an Apache escorts and does it's job, then you could have 2 squads, and the rifle specialists could do a fastrope.

Oh and having the ability to drop a supply truck or 2 supply crates would also be equally awesome. Give the Chinook speed and you have the best target ever to shoot down with technicals.

Yeah, over the patches I believe the system reqs have gone up.

you realize the chinook is faster than the apache and huey , and only slightly slower than blackhawk?
