GTA V
Helicopter in question
At this moment in time, I would call the new helicopter a new model, as it it definitely based on the UH-53. I would also like to cite the original Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion for reference here. The CH-53;
- Used as a military transport helicopter, (including the U.S. Marines)
- Features very similar cabin shaping (including windows)
- Features cabin extensions, unlike most chinooks.
- The attachments (even if they aren't pontoons) don't appear on the Chinook, but they do on the CH-53.
- Also has the same engine layout near the front rotor.
- Though minor, the wheel placing appears to be CH/ UH-53 too.
The fuselage can't clearly be seen, so I can't much comment on it at the moment. As for the tail boom and its horizontal rotor, that's certainly CH-47. I would class this as a new helicopter however, seeing as it can't clearly be defined at this moment. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 18:33, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
- You do have a point, but take in account that the Cargobob from San Andreas is also a mix between a CH-47 and another Sikrosky helicopter (S-92) painted brown. It seems much likely, at least to me, that this is just a redesigned Cargobob, pretty much like it was done to all vehicles that went from the 3D era to the HD era. It is also possible to be, like you said in your edit summary, a Leviathan, or a simple unnamed helicopter, but I personally think that the fact of it being brown, clearly of military nature and having the same inspirations as the Cargobob from SA gives it away. There has quite literally been no vehicle like the Cargobob in any other GTA game, and the helicopter in that screenshot does look like it to me.
- I understand, there is an incertitude behind this, but hey, even if we don't know the in-name games for most vehicles, it seems more fair to me to associate them with similar vehicles from previous games. At this moment we also don't know if the Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a Dodo, if the private jet is a Shamal, if that B52-like military plane is an Andromada, etc - But I'm pretty sure that most people think about the Cargobob when they see this screenshot, and I'm pretty sure that, if they come to the Wikia, they will look for the "Cargobob", not for the "Heavy Cargo Helicopter".
- I think we should name it the Cargobob for now, or at least mention the page you created in this article. (Henriquedematos (talk) 19:41, July 30, 2013 (UTC))
