US Army Chinooks do not have FLIR turrets outside of the MH-47 special operations fleet (which we don't have in the mod).
Even the proposed CH-47F Block II upgrade isn't advocating for providing FLIR.

If M240s are added, they will be to replace the M134 miniguns first (since regular CH-47Fs don't use these IRL either) and the addition of a ramp gun will only be done as a secondary consideration.

only suggestion was to have a ramp gunner not to replace the The M134 minigun guns on either side. this would enable the rear ramp gunner to call out clear of any obstacles when the airframe is coming into an LZ, HLS depending on what forces you from.

I am merely explaining that if we do finish the M240H conversion, its primary purpose will be to replace the miniguns on the CH-47 and UH-60. This is what we have existing plans to do with it.
Any further uses beyond that, are not planned yet.
