csthor 10 Posted September 18, 2014 I have seen too little for a judgement that holds any water, but I'm not "put off" by the Chinook-style appearance at all. Why? Because there's still the "Future Heavy Transport Helicopter" program of Airbus Helicopters & Boeing floating around and the very last concept studies looked like a modernized CH-47 (even though much bigger, plans go for 15 tons internal or 18 tons slingloaded).

chompster 29 Posted September 18, 2014 Not a huge fan of the angular body, but meh.. don't really care. Once RHS releases i doubt i'll ever launch Arma3 without it and i can't imagine them not including a proper Chinook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papanowel 120 Posted September 18, 2014 My answer is "I don't know", we didn't see enough of it. I was more hoping to get a CH-53K King Stallion (we never had one in the series, except from modders). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2nd ranger 282 Posted September 18, 2014 I wanted to see a CH-53 too. Those things look mean as hell, and I can imagine them looking even meaner with the 'stealth' upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricJ 724 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) As for the Huron itself, I need more than a fuzzy pic of her ass to decide rather or not I'll ride it:o Amen man, all this discussion about the ass end of a helicopter nobody has flown yet or seen more of. Kinda like judging a book by it's cover and the debate about stealth... Seriously. And for some people get off that "It's sci-fi" shit. Most of the tech involved in A3 has really been used or in development, or has been developed. Time moves on as well as technology, as most of the stuff is just really (maybe the MX series) stuff you can make today.

Well, I think there's still a chance, after all Iran's Army ( the real one ) uses them. Edited September 18, 2014 by MistyRonin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

odie0351 67 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Gentlemen, lets please refrain from cluttering this thread with the debate/wish list on the remaining helo. This thread is specifically for thoughts on the CH-67 Huron. Here's one of several threads dedicated to the possible selections. Obviously any discussion as to the possible NATO helo is obsolete at this point though. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?177354-Possible-High-Quality-Helicopters-for-Selection-STRICT-Selection/page16 Edited September 18, 2014 by Odie0351 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kydoimos 915 Posted September 18, 2014 To be honest, the screenshot didn't seem to reveal too much - so, withholding judgement! That said, it looks very promising - so far, I think I like the Hellcat best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Night 1 Posted September 18, 2014 I like it. I don't expect it to be any different than a Chinook though. Just more pointy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll just wait and see :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted September 20, 2014 I was expecting the VTOL-Valor, only cause it resembles the v-22 in a much for advanced, and improved radar signature kind of way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sterlingarcherz101 15 Posted September 23, 2014 If you don't like it, close your eyes and imagine it's a low poly model that hasn't rendered properly :cool: Ha when I first seen the wipeout I thought my graphics card was on the way out. Then it hit me that this aircraft was now nicknamed just the wart. To be fair it seems that this is not as fugly as the wipeout. Looks like it has a bit of stealth edge look without making it just plain stupid looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mistyronin 1181 Posted September 25, 2014 I personally hate the A3 "futuristic" setting, but I have to recognise that I kind of like the new helicopters. The "stealth" CH47 with CH53 "face" and the tuned CH54 with coaxial rotors ( that kind of make sense, as they improve hovering ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The poll, though self selecting does seem to agree with us. Less than 10% don't like them. That's a great result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
