Chinook (Generals)

"Need a delivery, General?"

- Chinook

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 a building garrisoned by the enemy, clearing it out.

Tactics/Counters
"Keep it safe!"

- Chinook

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 and eight times as many supplies as a GLA Worker, though unlike the Chinese supply truck and GLA worker where 2 or more of them could crowd around a supply source to gather, only 1 Chinook at a time may collect supplies from a supply source. This would mean that in-order for a more efficient supply collection system, it is recommended that other Chinooks would be better off collecting supplies from other sources(goes without saying, should be away from enemy anti-air) when 1 Chinook is already gathering supplies there or only 2 Chinooks should be stationed to collect from a single supply source.
