Sling Load Additions

Any chance there has been talk or anything in the works to be able to sling load vehicles in the Chinook anytime soon?  Would really like the capability to carry the M113, Vulcan, and a few other light vehicles for our server to be used with combined arms.

None CH-47 can carry a M113, Vulcan, IFV or APC on sling, that is not realistic. In theory a CH-47 can carry some HMMVW or a 155mm artillery towed on Sling.

They can lift M113's...

Hey@Devil 505, such sling loading would be more of a DCS core feature rather than one for the CH-47 alone. Currently, the Chinook development is focused on finishing the native modes of the DAFGCS, and then the next big thing should be a new multi-rope system. This has already started on the engineering side of development. Thanks.
