Background
Edit
| “ | Need a delivery, General? - Chinook | ” |
The primary function of the Chinook is to deliver supplies to the nearest Supply Center. Alternatively, it can transport a maximum of two vehicles and two infantry units, eight infantry units alone, or a single construction dozer. A Chinook loaded with Rangers can be ordered to combat-drop them into a building garrisoned by the enemy, clearing it out.
AbilitiesEdit
| “ | Have fun, boys! - Chinook on releasing Rangers via Combat Drop | ” |
|
| Combat Drop | Drop Rangers in the Combat Chinook into a civilian buildings to capture the building. Can be performed on enemy garrisoned buildings. |
UpgradesEdit
| “ | Something for everyone! - Chinook | ” |
|
| Countermeasures | Improved the Chinook's chances at escaping missile based anti-aircraft fire | Purchasable at any American Airfield in Zero Hour for $1000 |
|
| Supply Lines | Improved the productivity of Chinooks resource gathering by 10% | Purchasable at any Strategy Center in Zero Hour for $800 |
Game unitEdit
| “ | 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.
AssessmentEdit
ProsEdit
- Quite tough
- Very fast
- Can travel directly over any terrain to reach supplies.
- Carries the most supplies out of all Supply Units, 600 supplies per load.
ConsEdit
- The Chinook was foremost a non-combat unit, lacking any weapons.
- Highly vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire.
- Can be destroyed by EMP blast
- Unable to defend itself (unable to run over infantry)
- Slowest resource gather rate.
- Expensive and has a high profile due to being an air unit. Unlike the Chinese Supply Truck or GLA Worker, both of which require the enemy to get closer to a supply station to notice.
- When shot down, all of it's cargo and units inside it will go down with it. (Infantry are heard burning to their deaths.)
