cybrbeast Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It's quite common for a Chinook to have a machine gun or even minigun on the sides. http://www.dillonaero.com/uimages/chinook/chinook_close_up.png http://www.chinook-helicopter.com/standards/areas/Images/RAF_M134_Minigun.jpg It would be awesome if the Xenonaut Chinook had them too. Of course they would be fixed and have a limited angle but they could help out if the Chinook lands close to aliens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 When this last came up, I think it was felt that it unbalanced things against aliens near the Chinook. It also begs the question why the alien craft don't have something similar to balance things out. probably more pros and cons to it than I recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 You could argue they needed to ditch the guns to allow extra range/speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erutan Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I guess you could position your crew so a heavy MG guy starts off near each side exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal Hicks Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I think you just have to assume that the chinook will always land away from the aliens/crashed vessel due to safety reasons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before you see them in the first turn, they have just filled out their health and safety forms for the mission :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporal Hicks Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Just before you see them in the first turn, they have just filled out their health and safety forms for the mission :-) lol In fact, there's a sign inside the cockpit that reads: 1 - Never land near a crashed UFO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seiseki Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Only if the chinook could be blown up by the aliens.. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
