thinking about the new upcoming versions of pr i began thinking about new vehicle asset ideas. with the new arrival of the new Ch-47 Chinook for GB forces, and Possibly for US army since they do use the aircraft. I was thinking what could fit some of the other factions as far as a Heavy transport Heli.
The CH-53 Sea Stallion could be used for USMC instead of using the US army Huey helicopters for Transport one or two of these could take its place on maps such as operation barracuda or what ever new USMC maps are being developed. I am pretty sure other mods already have Ch-53 models available so creating a new object wouldnt be needed.
CH-53 Sea Stallion
The CH-53 is also in use by the Isreal Airforce

depending on the map, i support this.. but i think it will be alot of work for someone : ). but having a chinook that could really in theory carry the whole team at once is a bit too much.. i think..

The Bundeswehr too.
I approve your suggestion, but only on appropriate 4x4 maps. Hueys would have a crucial advantage on dense maps like barracuda. And a cargo of 8 passengers and 2 crates would be fitting too.
Those are pretty old
And as you probably know, the Chinook made it too.

We already have a potential Heavy Transport chopper for the USMC as mentioned many times before, that being the v22 model we got from the RC mod when it closed down. The model and texture aint the best but it would do with a little work, main thing is we do not have a 4km USMC map to even being to think about using it.

Correction, The Helicopter in the picture and the one you've described as the USMC's Heavy Transport Helicopter is the CH-53E Super Stallion, Which will be replaced eventually by the Kilo models. It wouldn't be worth it for the Bundeswehr to get it, since a whole new model would be needed for it. Just a little complaint about the V-22 being planned as the USMC's Main Heavy Air transport, The V-22 was never meant to be landed in improvised Landing Zones, Its simply too big with its side rotors, which will make the Super Stallion, or the CH-53K will make a better vehicle for quick landings, and extractions. Plus the 3x M3's.

Well, It would be nice to have something a little bigger than the Blackhawk and so forth, but, then you would need to pretty much make a heavy trans heli for the conventional armies in PR.
But the Stallion seems nice, the AIX Stallion looks nice (If I'm correct)

The Merlin is even bigger than the Sea King and the Chinook was made for the British and is the HC2 version, the Americans are just going to be using it as well with a modified skin etc.
