The Sea Knight has a tricycle landing gear, the Chinnok has qual gear.

ah also that

put a few on them glowing scrotums on your sea knight

eww no

I'd say probably Chinooks then, I'd imagine the chinook is far more stable on the ground thanks to that.

After all, you have to load the commies in before you can throw them out

Not necessarily, because the Sea Knight is designed to operate from ships as well.

Which honestly makes the tricycle landing gears a weirder choice

but the Chinook is able to take more weight

Not really. The wider stance of the aft legs makes for more stability when landing.

@Eirshy One is a chinook for transport - has bigger fuel tanks
The other is equipped with a hook, so the crew needs to be able to look down from the doors, and since it is a base operation chinook it lacks the side fuel tanks

Just two models

there for more Commie's to throw out

@Uksio Makes sense, danke.

I mean, you wanna throw out an assload of commies, you get a CH-53. Either in Jolly Green Gient configuration or Sea Dragon.

I was gonna guess it was fuel tank related

Mazda wins the best car design

Bingo.

absolute unit of a chalk

carriers had both types of chinooks on board before osprey happened

Amphibious assault ships.

Calling them carriers is inaccurate.

One as an air crane to move things on the deck/between ships, and another to transport people /cargo short distances

Now they use Kaman K-MAX as a lifting vehicle (it can carry a lot for its size)
And Osprey has such a great range that chinooks can't compete

umm what dank?

Advantage of basically being a prop plane that can pretend it's a helo for a bit

Synchropter

It has two rotors that are spinning in the opposite directions and are intermeshing
