Tank50us Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Let's face it, right after we all found out it was coming, how many had the thoughts of delivering Vehicles, Troops, Artillery, and most importantly, SWCC Boats into combat areas? Yes, I know this is a highly specialized version of the CH-47 (For those wondering it's the MH-47, the SOAR version) in that scene, but it would still be quite interesting to deliver Riverine Craft to hot spots, a job Chinooks have been doing since Vietnam. Aside from that, there's the aforementioned field artillery and light vehicles that the CH47 can carry... around 13 tons worth I might add plus crew and ammo. I've also heard that Chinooks can carry the fuel and ammo needed to set up a quick FARP (something I imagine Hips being able to do as well). These kinds of missions I think would pretty awesome to see now that we're getting some more Heavy Lift birds, and soon. 1
