CH-47 Chinook

[queen geode]

Why the chinook?

• It's Realistic
• It serves for troop transport

Possible Weapons (1 mounted on each side with possibly one in the rear):

• 50BMG M2B (the ones on the Humvees)

• 7.62x51mm M134 minigun from the Blackhawk.

• 7.62×51mm M240B

• IRL it can carry 55 combat-ready troops, let's make that like 20 (+crew of 4) in-game

Meanwhile tandem rpg to the tail killing 55 people

[queen geode]

Ever seen lone survivor?

[paper violet]

Nah

[nocturne rune]

chinook in milsim would go hard ngl

[paper violet]

Yes i would like it but it would need to be hella beefy

[queen geode]

Imma DM you smt

[paper violet]

Like unrealistically beefy

55 engineers repairing :0

[nocturne rune]

[gusty reef]

Whats worse, dealing with 50 engis repairing the chinook or 50 engies shooting at the chinook

[nocturne rune]

50 engis shooting from the chinook

[queen geode]

idk if it's clear but in the suggestion I wrote that 55 people are in it IRL and we shouldn't do that. Maybe like 20

[past lake]

it would be cool to walk in and have the back door be able to open and close

[paper violet]

Paratroops 😩

Itd have to take a gadget slot tho

[tiny sand]

transport is useless in bbr

unless they make bigger maps or make running 1/2 the speed there is no real use for this helicopter

[marsh sequoia]

two chinook
each side 10 repairing 10 rpgs
what tf is this, naval fight or even boarding battle?

[simple plover]

This is WAR!

I mean, since that's basically just an AC130 we need to add 37mm AA guns as a natural predator.

[marsh sequoia]

Nah dont get me wrong, I mean this is fun

[simple plover]

Also, I don't think any map should have 2 chinooks*, it's already hard enough to get a single blackhawk filled up after the start of the game.
*Maybe 2 could spawn at the start but only 1 respawns.

[patent otter]

It clearly isn't especially if one team is dominated, let's losing team leave base somehow

[halcyon gazelle]

This could be a "Reinforcement" mechanic where more vehicles spawn when a team is being Dominated. More vehicles like (in US/RU format) a Chinook/Mi-26, Apache/BlackShark (although these might be OP and difficult to balance, though the devs could add the FIM-92 Stinger), can spawn within the base of the Dominated team.

I believe this to aid in fixing the "team switchers" (from what I found in Asia and SG servers) because people often move to the winning team after the first quarter of the match, leading to a snowball effect.

On the other hand, it might cause some sandbagging, people purposely throwing a match just to get a ride in one of these things.

[queen geode]

I agree, they could make the missiles have the same effect as an RPG and only give each aircraft a limited number. And the main gun on the Apache could be the same as the Blackhawk's.

[halcyon gazelle]

They could also add a "Fuel" system where if the team being dominated does acquire the special vehicles, they can't just preserve it until the end of the match. Meaning the meat-and-bones of the game will still be what we have right now.

[queen geode]

Um, I get your idea. But don't you use fuel when you fly? Cuz you can just keep that chopper down with it's engine out till the end.

[halcyon gazelle]

True, but well if they just keep a chopper still on some place on the map it'll basically turn into a turret. Or we could add a mechanic where some weapons systems would be offline without the engine running, like the rockets or something or the countermeasure systems (should they add those).

Effectively, this'll just turn a special vehicle (say, an Apache) into a glorified M2 Humvee just sitting in one place shooting its machine gun.

I'm not exactly sure of the truth of this but I found that it's not the amount of vehicles that really makes an effect in games, it how people use them. What I found in games is that there are often people who use the BTR/APC and the T-90/Abrams but stay halfway across the map just sniping people but not effectively contributing productively to the pace of the fight. So basically, if an Apache is just nesting around, it's not really being productive.

[queen geode]

True.

[queen geode]

E

[lavish vector]

Add Chinook to game wont benefit anything.

From one side it can transport 25-50 troops = one pilot or enemy can get 25-50 kills at once easily.
From another side we can use Chinook to transport tanks and cars across map that sadly will be abused to deploy tanks on roofs and mountains.

So sadly for now there is no reason for exist of Chinook in game unless build a funny small gamemode around it.

[queen geode]

[gusty reef]

To be fair a chinook gamemode would be pretty dope

[queen geode]

Then we make it carry les people, problem solved.

[lavish vector]

Its same as add AK47 and AK74.
No difference, but dev time was wasted

[queen geode]

If you say so, but it will add variety to the game.

[lavish vector]

only if we wont have anything to do, but its like 2 years later? Because for now there is tons of work ongoing

[nocturne rune]

solution for the roof problem would be to trigger an event on the house prefab to crumble down when a tank/other heavy vehicle would land on it

putting a tank on a mountain sounds stupid, yes it has a vantage point, but it's very open so tandem engis have an easy target + it would be hard to move with it it there and you can't ressuply it

[tough seal]

You can stack tanks on top of each other like Jenga

Imagine how fun that'd be

[queen geode]

2 tandems on the top and the following explosions will take out the other tanks. XD

[regal gorge]

love me a cargo chopper.

[ruby reef]

Remove the ability to transport vehicles and have it transport an obnoxiously large amount of troops, would make it a high risk high reward vehicle.

Slow respawn, stupidly maneuverable (because they are lmao) and that way it could give the opportunity to completely overrun an enemy position 2-3 times per match if pulled off correctly

The maneuverability would allow for rpg evasion and if that's not enough then as it's a pretty big target it could be more resistant to rpgs?

[long gull]

This is all fine and good, but the moment an inexperienced pilot flies this thing into the ground at the start of a game the ENTIRE TEAM would have a huge disadvantage against the enemies unless their pilot also crashes.

[peak hamlet]

Add hook and rope to it to carry stuff. Except Tank, BTR, Heavy boat and other helis.

[ruby reef]

I mean that's kind of the point of it being a high risk high reward situation, plus we already have the issue of awful pilots wasting resources with current vehicles and we can't exactly stop them from playing so idk how that could be offset

[peak hamlet]

Unless you limit what it can carry, no tanks and lav's. And make long respawn time.

[clear peak]

This would be cool for frontline in a future update🤓☝️

[void quail]

everyone with parachutes and getting shot out of the sky lol

[void quail]

imagine battlebit makes a heli/chinook flying course and only ppl that passed or have licenses can fly em

[candid maple]

you don't need to specify heli/chinook when a chinook is a heli

also chinook would kinda be useless in this game given its purpose as more logistics and heavy transport plus being a way larger target and likely slower (although unrealistic)

only way i'd see chinook being added is if it could drop supply crates and had that as its main purpose

[clear peak]

Pov: Me in battle if I had CHINNOOK

Being able to get a big killstreak if you blow up a chinnook wouldn’t matter because there’s already players getting 60-80+ every match. The Blackhawk also can carry up to 12 people so if a chinnook can carry 8 more what’s the harm? It’s only a few more kills and it makes the player base happy so what’s the harm. There is no harm except a couple unhappy players.

[regal gorge]

chinook is among the fastest helo's we got.

[muted grotto]

yeah why not, it would be fun
