I have a transport copter that doubles as an attack helicopter. Its called the T-3 Combat Chinook. Its just like a Chinook but there is a 125mm Howitzer on each side that shoot out the side along with 2, .50 caliber machine guns on each side and firing ports for the infantry inside.



Pic Comming Soon

Cost: $150 Million Dollars

occ: wouldnt the howitzers pretty much either tear the helicopter apart, of make it almost impossible to control?

Look at the description Apple, im not looking for a huge slow helicopter with two unwieldy gun on the side. Im looking for a black hawk replacement. Dont waste my time.

Its not slow, It flys just as fast as a Chinook.

Uhh.... no these things really are used in the Army National Guard.

Anarresa, check out the HDC Attack Helicopter Storefront (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=136010&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=). I hope you can find something to fill your needs.

Anarresa:
Normally i would submit our K-45 vandal light utility helicopter and K-49 Hun medium utility design, but IIRC you rejected the K-45 on a previous tender offering because of issues surounding the coaxial rotor system.
If this isn't the case please contact us for a tender submission.

Apple Zer0:
Eh no, the only regulary armed chinooks in current use are the MH-47 special oeprations versions operated by the SOAR and before them the most guns ever mounted were on the ACH-47 with it's spread of .50s", rockets and 20mm cannons.
There may have been plans to mount a forward firing 105mm gun but i don't believe they came to anything out side of Sniper Country's fertile imagiantion.
