The Boeing CH-47C Chinook is an American twin-engine, tandem rotor heavy-lift helicopter. With a top speed of 170 knots it is faster than contemporary utility and attack helicopters of the 1960s. The CH-47 is one of the few aircraft of that era – along with the fixed-wing Lockheed C-130 Hercules cargo aircraft – that is still in production and front line service, with over 1,179 built to date. Its primary roles include troop movement, artillery emplacement and battlefield resupply. It has a wide loading ramp at the rear of the fuselage and three external-cargo hooks.

Overview[]

In-game, the Chinook costs the same number of points as a UH-60 Blackhawk. It is bigger, making it easier to shoot down and it's slower. However, it has a much bigger fuel tank and can probably last an entire game without needing to be refueled, meaning it can be safely moved away from the front line after deploying its troops without fear of running out of gas and becoming stranded.
