Yep, everything else is just a sling-load. We may not be the prettiest thing to look at, but we are by far the fastest, highest flying, and have the highest sling and MGTOW than any other a/c in the inventory. I have gun tapes of AH-64D guys asking us to "uhh....Blackjack 79, would you mind pulling it back a bit, we are in the yellow."
"*BIG SIGH*....roger, call your best airspeed."

You know, I always assumed that these were big, slow lugs, but it kinda makes sense that they can go faster than other helos now. Isn't the main limiting factor for speed for a helo the fact that lift is uneven from port and starboard, and the faster you go the more uneven it gets. With Chinooks and the opposite rotating mains, the uneven lift cancels itself out. I don't know much about choppers, am I close?
