Spathiphyllum Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 My dream helicopter in DCS would be the CH-47 Chinook, this mighty tandem rotor heavy lift beast. First of all, it is different from what we already have in the simulator. We already have standard tail rotor helicopters (Mi-8, Huey) a coaxial rotor helicopter (KA-50) and we also have one with a Fenestron (Gazelle). But we do not have any tandem rotor helicopter in DCS yet - which the Chinook is. One of the fastest and amongst the most powerful helicopters, the Chinook is full of mission potential. Be it a very basic troop transport (we could squeeze in quite a few troops, huh?) or delivering military equipment to the battlefield, dropping paratroopers, moving heavy underbelly cargo (such as a Humvee), carrying out medevac missions into high threat landing zones, dropping humanitarian packages and even carrier ops, there's plenty of combat-oriented possibilities with this well tried and tested helicopter. And then there are the civilian duties, log transport, heavy construction assistance, disaster relief, search and rescue, aircraft recovery, fire fighting, VIP transport and much, much more. And the pinnacle of helicopter flying, mastering the tough and complex pinnacle landing, in which the Chinook is the champion - really, the sky is the limit in what we can use this helicopter for. Since it's been so widely and extensively used around the world, many repaints could be done to it and as a result, several countries could be included, further enhancing its mission capabilities within DCS. What is the Mi-8 for the reds, could be the CH-47 for the blues, two rotary wing titans. Bring us the Chinook please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 i would buy it but not at the top in my wish list. also, those tasks that you mentioned can be done also by mi-8 or uh-1 but dcs devs are not seem to be keen on doing such developments in the sim. no fire fight, no proper strechers, no porper troop transport.. so you may be disappointed even if you get this bird FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcrazyx Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 As much as i believe that there is place for such an awesome helicopter in the sim however i'm not entirely sure how many people would invest into it. It does not have much offensive capability outside of .50 cal and the minigun which is what most come to the sim for. however if it was paired with a Nato attack helicopter such as the Apache then I can see the appeal for it as it would be awesome to go pick up troops and supplies while an Apache runs fire support over head.

Harry.R Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If MERT, CSAR or QRF was actually a thing in DCS, the Chinook would be very entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spathiphyllum Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 If MERT, CSAR or QRF was actually a thing in DCS, the Chinook would be very entertaining. Yes, agree, the fun starts with all of the above implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evoman Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If aerial firefighting was ever introduced to DCS the Chinook might have more appeal to be used in firefighting missions. I just found out that there have been two companies in the last few years that have been converting Chinooks for firefighting duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streakeagle Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I would love to see this helo in DCS World. DCS helicopters and DCS mission scripting have come a long way, but they are not the best for this type of helo operations. If you can tolerate inferior flight model dynamics, the Chinook and its missions really shine in the old OFP/ARMA series games.

David OC Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) You could see one, it is a Boeing aircraft so it could be a possibility. Need to be way after the Apache;) About picking up troops. You can fake script this, I just have the AI land or have trucks stop at a zone or spot and then activate a bunch of troops to simulate this. Yes it would be nice when CA gets better to have real troops load/unload when seeing this from ground level, until then there are workarounds. Those other sims have the troops magically jump in the aircraft anyway, so it's not that much different spawning troops at the choppers.

Sierra99 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) If MERT, CSAR or QRF was actually a thing in DCS, the Chinook would be very entertaining. All of those things can be implemented with proper mission design...both from an AI perspective...and from a player perspective. This would be a day 1 buy for me...For that matter ANY US heavy lift Helicopter wound be a day one buy for me.

VZ_342 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Definitely would have different mission parameters than anything currently available. Be pretty cool to fly one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaOneSix Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 As much as I'd love a Chinook in-game, it would be an absolute travesty if the Apache and Black Hawk didn't come first.

Leo1606688537 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I`d buy it immediately! Blue team need it as an actually helicopter for troop transport. Thirty-three troops could be transport by each ch47. It has inflight refueling capability (Not all variants). Could carry vehicles from/to the enemie lines.

Renegade30 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Disymmetry of Dcs helicopters (Needed Helicopters We have the mi8, Gazelle, and my favorite, the huey The huey has longline capability but its not suitable for lifting most of the cargo offered the mi8 has has the greatest lifting capacity. We need, UH-60/CH-47 for larger longline/cargo in general however. AH-64 would be great for combat (we are getting the mi-24 and AH-1) soon ???? But honestly i would love an observation helicopter of some kind @eagledynamics Such as OH-58 for multiplayer list of Helicopters Needed in order 1. OH-58 2. AH-64 3. CH-47 4. UH-60/ or naval equivalent w/ aerial refueling capabilities Please and Thank you Respectfully submitted Renegade30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowmover Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 90% of modules in this games is for attacking.People like me like transport helicopter.Ch-47 is also my dream and I want to see that helicopter on dcs but i think it will not happens the next 10 years.Or should I dare to say 20???The most countries has the chinook.Ed has forgotten us I mean the helicopter dudes.All time releasing airplanes.Chinook in dcs is a dream for me and I wish it come true some time [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlidfan Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I suspect that something like a Chinook would be quite a bit of work from a flight model standpoint. It would be an awesome bird to fly but the rotor setup would require a lot of new work to model correctly.
