Thanks Chris for going through the forum and nicely summarise it all for us who are eagerly waiting for the release :)

Hope it supports airborne drops. Had many jumps off the tailgate. One of the better jumps out of aircraft. Hmmwv's inside the cabin was never an efficient use of space. Generally, the Army would slingload one or two hmmwv's in a yohi configuration or rigged side by side in a shotgun configuration as a slingload. This left room in the aircraft for troops.

Really looking forward to the Chinook, as long as the VR performance is decent I’m fine with other bugs/issues/omissions but if the VR perf isn’t there its unflyable simple as that

Good thing nobody fucking asked you 😂

Thx for the info. Not too sure about this one. Definitely not going to preorder it. I think i've been spoiled with the F4 and the Kiowa's quality and completeness at release.

Glad it was helpful!

Every comment from the devs about the logistics system confirms its not coming on day one. Nineline replied to me on discord and told me that it will NOT launch with additional logistics features. Seems like all it can do day one is what already exists (basic sling loading). Their hope is to have some additional hooks in the near future that scripts can use.

This is really a wait and see module for me, it needs to be able to do something not just fly around , I hope there's maybe placeholder cargo assets for the moment at a minimum, even if its simple click and load. Either way I look forward to crashing it soon.

Ok so we have a delay till the 3rd of July, so more time for me to watch the Euros! plus we have more information about what we're getting in the release and future versions from ED themselves, stay tuned!

My thoughts exactly, already put the budget for SwA and the Hook to the side, guess itll be on my desk a week longer 😂

Nice clip of a Chinook flying with two Apache in the Summer sale promo video ED have just released, sure many of you would like to recreate that!

Bignewy on the forum today: "We will be sharing news today in the newsletter so please look out for that".

I’ve bought 3 aircraft in the last few months, and still have yet to play any of them…

I've got quite a few that I've not flown... and even more that I haven't learned properly.

Good video to sum up some info before release 👍 One thing to point about the CMWS though. It will not have any thing ASE related on release, other than a RWR. If it release with that implemented. So no Warning for Missiles. I guess at least they will let you drop flares in MANUAL. And regarding the CMWS, if i'm not wrong, its the AN/AAR-57. Which is already on DCS. In the ED's Apache or in the recent Kiowa for example. I understand that they should be cautious about implementing it, but they should already have a lot of information. And should be not hard to add it to the CH47, if its implemented on the Apache.

Hope you can use this longer than you will be able to with rhe Razbam F15

I suspect there will be a delay ED has been too quiet. Hope I'm wrong though.

just out of curiosity, when was the latest video released by Eagle Dynamics on the CH-47? Shouldn't they be flooding us with hype so close to release?

So close? If I remember right, Wags posted AH-64 Sneakpeek video in September 2021 and already in March 2022 it was available in EA...

Er yeah actually. It's fast for a helicopter, and if you play missions like Pretense where delivering supplies, capturing zones, setting up SAMs etc. is a large part, this will be pretty cool....

@@zeno6111753 The Chinook itself sounds great but it seems like its missions depend on a lot of features that just aren't part of the DCS core engine, and ED doesn't have a good track record for making improvements to the core engine in a timely manner. If you love the Chinook then that's great but without offensive weapons you're not going to be doing anything that a UH-1 or Mi-8 can't already do. But at least you will do it faster and in style. But don't hold your breath for any of the special features that they're working on. Just look at the pace of progress on the 4-year-old Supercarrier module.

You know, no one is being forced to preorder right. If you don’t like what’s coming or if you don’t agree with preorder, then simply don’t order it. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. Not to mention this was announced long before the Razbam mess it was bloody good planning to do a cashgab for something that wasn’t even a thing at the time.
