[Vehicle] Chinook (preferably for Al Basrah)
Posted: 2010-01-19 20:28
CH-47 Chinook Medium Transport Helicopter
Info on it, if needed
It can hold 33 players (but I think we should limit that to 12)
We were having a discussion about a helicopter on Al Basrah, and I came up with two little birds (one trans and one armed) but people said it wouldn't work because it would get shot down by Insurgents with ordinary guns.
A huey was suggested too, but we said that the Insurgents would need a buildable AA (but they can't build anyway, so that was quite weird. We ignored this, however).
Then Benard Jones suggested a Chinook.
What a great idea!
What we haven't discussed is how it would work, but it'd just be one or two choppers on the map altogether, and helicopters usually have long respawn times anyway.
RPG-7's can take it down in one or two hits, whereas ordinary weapons from the Insurgents wouldn't do much or any damage. (If a helo has 200 HP, and an RPG-7 takes 100, then for every shot, and insurgents normal weapon can deal .25 damage, thus needing 800 bullets to kill, and with an average 500 shots being fired at it, it should return to get repaired urgently asap)
I think it should be able to drop one supply box and a repair station. An advantage for being so rare.
Also, the British team have hardly any helicopters. The Little Bird apparently belongs to the US allies, whereas the British only have a few helicopters on Qiling.
Or we could just place the British transport chopper onto Basrah, but yeah. A chinook wouldn't be so bad.
