0.9: past predictions

[hobbnob]

Hi i'm new to the forums but i've been on the training servers for a while, great mod. Straight to the point, whilst looking through the forums i found a forum for a chinook that was started in 2008 and predicted for release in 0.9. I was wondering if this and other "old" developments have still been remembered and completed, thanks in advance, hobbnob

[rampo]

We KNOW its going to be in 0.9 lololol

He was asking for any other stuff to be added in 0.9


Which is something to just patiently waiting for

k thanks for the fast replies, certainly eased my worries of no chinook

Ye that has been pretty much confirmed but as for maps on which to use it... can't think of any other than qinling

[Rissien]

Given the upcoming release to possibly before the end of the month *as per the latest Highlight Reel if nothing causes problem* Im sure we can expect a changelog in the coming future.

would be "fitting" if you know what i mean for it to be on al basrah, but the lack of decent landing areas inside the main town would make deployment impractical and would put pilots off wanting to fly it because of it's size. If there was a map similar to kashan with the british then it would work, but then it's just another map made to accomodate a single helicopter, which is a bit unneccesary.

That's why the devs are working on fastropes

i wish


possiable the L85A2 upgrade?

[hobbnob]

fastropes would be good but unrealistic seeing as they are not commonly used on chinooks, rather on blackhawks. Another thing i fear will be the chinooks brownout. for people unfamiliar with this, its where pilots trying to land on desert terrain the huge rotor wash causes the pilot visibility to flatline if they dont flare. yes a chinook would be awesome though, i have no doubt the devs will make all well by the time of release.

Afaik,the chinook should be comming in with sangin,and sangin probably isnt in .9,so i dont think teh chinook will be comming in .9.

Proof me wrong tough

From what iv'e been reading the chinook is pretty much ready for 0.9 But ofcourse i have no official source on this

False, The USMC specifically MSOB only fastrope from chinooks. They do not use blackhawks. If they need a smaller chopper they use the sea knight.

But yeah, Sangin is confirmed not in .9 but I dunno about the chinook.

Marines, nor the Navy even have touched a Chinook. Unless say they they're doing a joint op or something. But even considering that possibility, its not right to say they use the CH-47.

Considering that there are some ingame screens of the Chinook, it should be in pretty darn soon. I just hope its coming for the U.S. Army too to replace the problematic Blackhawk.

AFAIK, the amount of blast a helicopter will produce probably isn't controlled. If I'm not mistaken, a Littlebird will produce as much debris and wash as a Merlin. But I'm sure a little magic in BF2 Editor changes this.

[Burton]

As much as it pains me to say it, the DEVs have always said that the Chinook and Sangin will be released together - so if one's not ready (Sangin), I'd hedge my bets on not getting the Chinook either.

Anyone know any knews that i believe were made/posted by matrox back in 2008? They looked really interesting and would like to see how they would effect gameplay. They work great in FH2

I love chinooks as much as the next person but not too bothered about a release in the game, a huge slow moving target isnt something i would like to be transported in. In game that is.

You do realize Chinooks are faster than Apaches for example?

indeed.
theres a vid of the chinnok doing all kinds of crazy stunts and fast flying on these forums somwere.its kinda like a fat dude thats realy agile.never to be underestimated.

[hobbnob]

i doubt it will come out for US because it is not used by the regular us army. The single in game pic i've seen of it was in the UN livery, so that might mean something.
