How can something that has less endurance than a stank and has the purpose of an APC work or be useful?

All you need is parachutes.

Here, have another one for good measure.

Parachutes makes the game too different IMO. It's like allowing the taunt bug to be used. If smth needs to change, then it'd be the armour type of the trans heli.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I'm going to call out City_Flying video there. You had at least five of the damn things... that's different, half of them still DIED before you got to the PP, which clearly shows they fail at their presumed purpose - to be a flying APC.

You're right... although Chinooks often fare much better on Walls_Flying, that's only because there's no Obelisk, which takes off 300 of its 400 in one shot (plus that stank hit us for another 90 and triggered the <= 20 hp auto eject). Base defenses really do limit or nullify any usefulness of the transport helicopters, unless one manages to sneak by while some other vehicles are taking fire as decoys. It was extremely fun to do that rush just for the heck of it, though. Also, there were 6 piñatas in that rush Razz

I am sure WW had plans to make side miniguns on the transport chopper...why would have open but empty gun ports on the side then?

Remeber they also planned to have many mannable twin-machine gun turrets too. they had many mnay things planned.

Since the single player does have the guns, I'd rather assume that they were removed by WW rather than planned to be added.

Anyway, TT will not change anything about this.

You're right. I did notice the chainguns on the sides in singleplayer but not in multiplayer. I think the reason WW took em' off was because of balance issues. APCs would become obsolete if heli transports had chainguns. I mean, wouldn't it obviously be better to be flying than on ground? As for the armor thing, they should not have any more armor, but they should have a little more speed. And, I think that WW should of made the game in where as soon as you get in a heli transport, you automatically get a parachute so you could drop down a few men in a atack. Or if not that, they could drop down on a wire so if they jumped out at a high altitude, they woudn't just fall and die. That would be nice... Listen

As far as speed goes, the Chinook should be at least as fast as the Apache, if not fastER...(IRL, the Apache pilots keep having to ask the Chinook pilots to slow down Razz)
