I would buy a Cessna as well. I find DCS to be not only the best combat flightsim, but the best flightsim period. I simply enjoy flying in DCS more than anything else, combat or not.   I'd b

I'd watch the trailer again if I were you.

Number of Black Hawks produced: over 4.000 Number of Chinooks produced: about 1.200   Apart from the fact that they are very different aircraft and hardly comparable, I'd say the UH-60

All I want to know is. When is it releasing, and what game loop will it have at launch that's better than the other helicopter or works better than the others.
Well, they have stated 26th of June right there in the text.

It's coming June of 2024. It says it at the end of the video

@Brickle Hey man! I'm pretty sure you're the one with the 47 Driver YouTube channel, right? If so, is it possible you could make some videos reviewing what ED has given us in the CH-47F pre-order video, and their posts to Instagram? I feel like I saw some things missing. Thanks!

In the trailer the ch47f was only shown m60 door guns. Do chinooks not use m240's in the 21st century?

The British ones as late as 2007 used M60s or Miniguns. Which is odd as M60s were never a gun used by the British in an infantry capacity but the FN MAG was.

Indeed, that's me. Just getting off my feet with the channel, but I'll be hopefully doing some more stuff soon. I will take a look at what ED has put out and I can do a discussion based video about it for sure.

 

Thanks for the support!

I'd love to see some super in-depth stuff like Barandus does

i thought it was a US based Ch47F? i looked at the US army 2011 manual. It says either M60D or M240H machineguns can be used, so i do hope that just because ED said its a "2007" Ch47F does not mean its only limited to the M60 door guns.

Chinooks fly over my dwelling regular I hear then well before they arrive so must bag this module not far from me near "tony martins" house not the singer , one was hovering over a farm dropping something off not sure why or what but strangely strange but oddly true. Nice one ED.

Army helicopters strangely do "farm" work, or general humanitarian work. I've seen Blackhawks guide animals to their gates, Chinooks drop hay bales, etc. I believe it's mainly NG doing that

Yes, I'm saying if the brits used the M60 on their Hooks even through they normally don't even have that weapon in their inventory. Then there's probably a reason both the Americans and brits used them on the hooks so long.

That's actually an excellent way to get flight time and hone skills. 

Instead of just burning taxpayer bought fuel to get flight hours. They help while getting training.

Well I learn something new every day so many great scenarios can be created with the chinook night missions e.t.c & in VR the pit will be huge like the m8 really looking forward to this.

Do we know if the CH-47 will have ai controlled guns?

Given all other helicopters with gunners can(Huey, HIP, Hind) which are from ED i assume the Hook will have it too.

“With the capability to cover extensive distances swiftly, the CH-47F can be outfitted with extended range fuel tanks and is compatible with air-to-air refuelling, thus extending its operational range further than ever before. This capability underscores the aircraft's adaptability and endurance, making it a formidable asset in any fleet”


As far as i know only the MH-47 has the possibility of aerial refueling. We getting an us army ch-47. Will it have air refueling?

No, the CH-47F does not have an AAR probe. But it would be a fun option to add anyways. I bet someone'll make a literal MH-47G mod for the exterior, possibly with actual AAR capabilities

Also, the backup instrument is completely off. Also seems to be way too light. Here's a list of things I pointed out, that I believe are wrong; 

  • The backup instrument is completely wrong in the CH-47F
  • Some caution advisories are missing, taking into account that they were even displayed.
  • Pitch control links don't seem to be connected to the pitch control arms
  • Chronometer isn't on
  • Spotted that the slip indicator was perfectly neutral in a left hand bank
