Background
“ | Loaded with U.S. quality! - Chinook, proud to serve Uncle Sam |
” |
The Chinook is mostly used to transport units, with eight transport slots. Infantry units take up 1 slot, vehicles take up 3 slots, and contruction dozers take up 5 transport slots. A Chinook loaded with Rangers can be ordered to combat-drop them into a building garrisoned by the enemy, clearing it out.
Game unit
“ | Keep the supplies rollin'. - Chinook |
” |
The Chinook is the main USA air transport unit, and is capable of transporting up to 8 infantry units or one or two vehicles. It is also the USA's supply gatherer, capable of loading up $600 worth of supplies in one go.
As a special ability, Rangers can exit the Chinook via four ropes without the Chinook needing to land. Rangers can rappel themselves directly into civilian structures to garrison them. If the structure they rappel into is already garrisoned by enemies, the Rangers will simply take it over by eliminating the enemies inside it.
Even if there is no supply drop off pad, a Chinook can unload at any allied Chinese supply center or Supply stash.
