CoolCarlos2002 2 Posted January 9, 2002 Hi I saw some pics of a chinook "ON" the water I tryed it in flashpoint, works! as long as you keep the rotors on, it even says the "Get out" command instead of "Eject" Just some info... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyCosmic 0 Posted January 9, 2002 I'll have to try that, as I've taken a keen interest in the Chinook lately, having a brother who flys 'em for the US Army. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobo Sniper 0 Posted January 9, 2002 Is this supposed to be a good thing or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SimplyCosmic 0 Posted January 9, 2002 The Chinook was designed to float, such that it could make water based landings in order to drop off amphibious troops. So, yeah, it's a good thing, not to mention realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EveronVetsAgainstTheWar 0 Posted January 10, 2002 If you keep the rotors on you're not really floating at all are you, just hovering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KDF 0 Posted January 10, 2002 The Sikorsky/Westland H-3 Sea King helicopter was designed to land on water - has a boat shaped underside and outrigger floats around the wheels..although it was rarely done in service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr ThunderMakeR 0 Posted January 10, 2002 Check out the other thread on this topic, i posted some pictures there: REALISM!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambba 0 Posted January 10, 2002 Aircraft like the CH-47 can only land on water or snow with the appropriate kit, which are optional extras.....not standard. So yes it can float/hover with the right equipment, but tell your brother (SimplyCosmic) to make sure he's got the right stuff before attempting an OFP style landing on water.

Frizbee 0 Posted January 15, 2002 I was under the impression that a Grenade launcher couldn't be attached to the Steyr without a massive reworking of the barrel and the grenade launcher itself... generally considered to be too much work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christophercles 0 Posted January 15, 2002 Well then i generally consider the australian army, is doing to much work then.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
