The older model 47’s see heavy use in the US civilian utility market so it would be awesome to see bits like the pilots’ bubble window and a 300’ longline to allow for vertical reference utility flying. Yes I know this is digital Combat simulator, but it would really add to the solo pilot usability of this beast.

Not sure I would call it “confirmed” but here’s a photo from the army.mil website showing 50 cal guns out the front door of the chinook. Not sure which model though, the caption didn't include that. ”A gunner in a U.S. Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter mans a .50-caliber machine gun in support of Operation Provide Comfort efforts to aid the Kurdish refugees who fled the forces of Saddam Hussein in northern Iraq”
