Chinook (Generals)

The Chinook was the USA's main transport and supply helicopter. The primary function of the Chinook was to deliver supplies to the nearest Supply Center. Alternatively, it could transport a maximum of two vehicles and two infantry units, eight infantry units alone, or a single Construction Dozer.

A Chinook loaded with Rangers could be ordered to combat-drop them into an occupied enemy building, clearing it out.

Upgrades

 * Supply Lines - Improved the productivity of Chinooks by 10%.
 * Countermeasures - Improved the Chinook's chances at escaping anti-aircraft fire.

Tactics/Counters
The Chinook was foremost a non-combat unit, lacking any weapons. Although quite tough they were still highly vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire. Nevertheless, as a transport and supply unit, the Chinook was not lacking; it was very fast, able to travel directly over any terrain to reach supplies or move other units, and could collect twice as many supplies in one run as China's Supply Truck.

Variants
Air Force General Granger helped develop the Combat Chinook, a bulkier Chinook equipped with Humvee-like fire ports that allowed infantry to target enemies from within it.
