We have developed a new advanced Helicopter which equals or surpasses the CH/MH-47 Chinook in performance.

There is a ramp at the rear plus a hoist and cargo hook :)

everything i make cant be fighter jets and nukes you know!

Vast Principles is extremely excited by this new design and would readily buy several of these aircraft.

VP would like to order 5 aircraft first though to see wether these helicopters suit our national needs of our army, airforces and navy before going into a larger contract.

Very interesting. Wolfish has taken note, and will likely place an order shortly.

Being new, how do I get me one of these new fangled whirly birds?

You say "My nation would like to buy one of these new fangled whirly birds, money wired"
Then I say "Order confirmed"

And that's what its all about, pretty silly huh?


anyways... above order confirmed.

The Empire of Risban would like to purchase ten of these. We shall wire half the money right now, and the other once we have received the helicopter.
-General Charles Skops, Commander of the Risban Imperial Army
-Alexander Perkins, High Minister of Foreign Affairs
-Emperor R.A. Scorpius

Thankyou, we lookfoward to testing these new helicopters.

OOC: expect new orders from me soon, these are good helicopters!

We would like to buy 200 of these new helicopters for 2 billion, three hundred million dollars. Money will be wired upon confirmation.

Orders confirmed.

The Emporer is interested in this item. The Holy Empire of Shazbotdom will check back on a later date with the hopes of purchasing a few.

With his feet to the fire, my minister of procurement thanks you for the confirmation. what? those are tears caused by the wafting smoke of burning flesh for his incompatitence.

heh

In intrest of National Security, Anagonia will take hostage some of your engineers and force them to create the ULTIMATE DOOMSDAY MACHINE! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAZHAHAHAHAHAHKJSHALDKFAKDJADHKDFK.ASKDHASKJ.DKJADHFBJKLSDFJKNSKJFNKL

-Official Ratheian Government Response-

Impressive. We will look into this as a possible replacement or addition to our MI-26 fleet.

The nation of Iracundia would like to purchase 100 of these helicopters. The total cost comes out to be 1 billion 1 million dollars.

The CH-47 and it's smaller brother the CH-46 are very capable craft and have served us well. We wonder how well the craft performs in sand stroms. The Chinook is able to hit a sand storm and have the engine rev up twenty horsepower, as is the Sea Knight. Also we wonder if the rotors can withstand it, as it's known how the Huey's always were grounded in such conditions because of the tight tolerances of the main rotor.

-Crimmond Military Represenative

All orders confirmed


The CH-50 was tested extensivly in desert, arctic and ship borne environments, I cani assure you it equals or betters both the CH-47 and 46 in desert performance.




no need to kidnap anyone aganonia, we will hapily build you a doomsday device, the usual 4 trillion should apply of course

$500,000,000,000 Billion Universal Standard Dollars/United States Dollars shall be transmitted if and when The Phoenix Militia can do the following:

Develop a Space Shuttle capable of flying payloads into orbit, Can be customized for Military Use, and be a highly flexible design. Something like a U.S./Buran Space Shuttle, but more capable. ALONG WITH BOOSTERS

The governement of Ragnaroks has interested me with the 57.5 million needed to buy 5 of these CH-50 Seminole. The money shall be sent upon confirmation of the order.

Chellis uses the Mi-26 Halo(Barely modified home-made versions) for heavy missions, with the newest electronics and all, it serves quite well, can cary over 100 men, etc.

Order[s] confirmed

Anagonia, I already have 2 shuttles, go take a look in the aircraft section of my store

and why do i care

Vast Principles has found the CH-50 Seminole More than capable. In tests we found that compared to the Chinnoks that we recently aquired your aircraft performed much better. Therefore, we would like to order a further 60 of these magnificent Helicopters.

More orders may come in the future, although probably not in the near future. A total of $690 million is to be sent upon comfermation of our order9we have the money...i swear! we got given 10billion and also our government hasnt really spent to much on defence as of yet)

confirmed

Nevermind about the request, keep the money as a FREEBIE!!!!!

you want a few of my MAG-1s or regular Space Shuttles?

I can modify them with guns and lasers and nukes and bombs and missiles and such

and why do i care

It was a basic invitation to give me some reasons why the CH-50 is better, trying to get me to buy it...

Um........................................Make me a special offer on Space Shuttles I suppose....you know...but don't make it too complicated.

Just a few notes from the pictures. (Yes, I know they're probably not super-accurate.)

The gunning system is lower than the landing gear.

The rotors are far too small to lift such a heavy helicopter plus cargo.

(The Chinooks' rotors are about a foot and inches wide, and sag under their own weight to approximately 7 feet above the ground.)

Its not better, its a totaly diffrent class, the halo is a huge ass helicopter that your not going to fit on a ship, the CH-50 is compact and is armed and can still sling a heavy load.

originaly I had the lading gear lower but it didnt look right the landing gear shown is semi-retracted
