Hey Developers, whats about CH53?

[Sofapiloz]

A Legend. The workhorse of several Armys all around the World.

 

A chance not to only carry some Boxes, but bring a damaged F15 from Carrier to workyard. Or a light Tank into landing Zone.

 

Outstanding SAR missions over the seas.

 

Ohhhh, the possibilities are unlimited...

 

Give it to us Rotorheads! Please!

 

Hopeful from good hot germany

would be cooooool........alongside with a Iwo Jima class LPH, Tarawa or Wasp LHD

[Krasniye]

Do we really need a transport helo with just door gunners in DCS right now? I mean no offense but the CH53 makes the Huey and Mi-8s weapon systems look AH-64 tier. I think maybe a transport helo like this would be cool after we get attack helos in the game.

 

Just my $0.02 though.

[Rangi]

A CH-53 would be cool once there is a native logistics system and dynamic campaign.

[Aginor]

I'd love to fly it. One of my favourite helicopters, it is frickin' huge and it can do lots of stuff and it looks cool and did I mention it is huge? Holy cow I love it.

With a proper logistics system implemented I can imagine it would make a great DCSW module.

 

I can still understand that many people want something more combat-oriented though.

Fun fact: It is designated as a "medium transport helicopter" in the german army, although it is by far the biggest helicopter in german service ever :D

I never understood this :huh:

 

Edit: Just before anyone complains, they are of course not in service with the army (Heer) anymore, since they got stolen by - I mean transferred to - the air force (Luftwaffe) a few years ago.

Yeah, I remember that from my days with the Heer. Pretty funny to call it "medium". :D

Yeah, those days are over though (see edit above) :(

[Vitormouraa]

Chinook? :)

[Jarlerus]

I like it too, but yeah. Waiting until we at least have some gunships could be prudent.

 

I'll still add it to my list ^^

[chev255]

MH-53 Pave Low would be awesome (terrain following radar, air to air refueling, etc.)

Agreed! CH-53 is pretty iconic as-is, but HH-53 or MH-53 would be awesome++, adding even more versatility. :thumbup:

[Angelthunder]

I think well see a Sea Stallion some day by a third party.But not until helos like Belsimteks UH-1 Huey and Mi-8 Hip models get workable AI infantry and movable cargo vehicles to load & unload from the transport helicopters.Then i'm sure 3rd parties will be enticed to make more bigger helos in the future like the Mi-26 Halo or the CH-47 Chinook.

They weren't stolen; the Army didn't want to pay for them anymore to have more funds available for other things like the Puma IFV, so they wanted to get rid of the CH. That's what I've learned. The German Air Force gladly jumped on the chance though.

changed APC to IFV

[ebabil]

i would buy it just because it looks way too perfect. i don't think it is needed as much as a western gunship like cobra or apache

[USSInchon]

I will only buy it if the devs make sure to add dripping hydrolic fluid and/or oil from the ceiling and other places.
