gnomechild Posted May 6, 2024 Posted May 6, 2024 DCS in general has needed these for a long time, but with the CH-47F around the corner we need some good towed artillery / field howitzer units included in the base game to be used with this helicopter. Building and supplying artillery firebases is probably one of the best known associations with the Chinook and right now in DCS the only way to get a field gun is through the WW2 Assets Pack. Would love to see some included in the core game and with some more modern options like the M114, L118, M777, etc. 10

It was included in DCS with the South Atlantic assets. More sling load assets would be nice. What would be nicer would be multiplayer synch up while carrying sling loads. My game had the load directly below me hanging steady. My brothers screen looked like this- Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

Not much point slinging a howitzer around just for it to magically transform in to a self propelled gun 4
AmesKahn Posted August 15, 2024 Posted August 15, 2024 (edited) Agreed.. I’m an old artillery guy and want to do artillery raids. We need M-119’s with humves and the 777. Edited August 15, 2024 by AmesKahn 1
Tomcatter87 Posted August 30, 2024 Posted August 30, 2024 Second that. More artillery units would be great - I've read it was a quite common load for a Chinook to carry a slingloaded howitzer, a ten-man crew plus some ammo.

Hallsy Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Slingable 777, light vehicles, special forces goodies like boats, larger cargo netting, fuel bladders and such would be awesome. 1
