Good idea, they should be able to sit on the side with their feet dangling off.

I agree with Laqueesha.

I was surprised to see that it cannot even hold an USMC squad.

Even if the capacity of Ghosthawk is going to stay this way, there'd better be a Blufor chopper that has larger capacity.
In the worst case, a reskinned version of Green Faction's Chinook should suffice.

Edit: CH-49 Mohawk is actually not based on Chinook at all, but, whatever.

I agree with Laqueesha as well, remove the seats, have them all sit on the ground, it would look really cool too. Besides on the livestream when we first saw the Ghosthawk they said it was inspired on Zero Dark Thirty, and in the movie the helicopters had no seats.

Bump. What is the current capacity of the Ghosthawk vs the CH-49? If the latter also has a reduced passenger count,then it could be BI just trying to reduce the number of passengers that can be carried by air in general.

I agree, 4 more should sit on the side with their feet dangling off, for a bigger chopper I would go wih an upgraded v-22 or the v-280 prototype upgraded (sinc eit's just a prototype it probably will suffer changes). Then instead of the C130, i would use a Quad tiltrotor V-44 aircraft. I don't think they should reskin the mohawk for blufor.
