Description

Pilot the advanced CH-67 Huron and Mi-290 Taru heavy-lift helicopters and harness the power of Sling Loading to deliver critical support to ground forces in the Arma 3 Helicopters DLC.

Key Features

  • CH-67 Huron - This twin-engine, tandem rotor helicopter is designed for heavy transport duties. With the capacity to carry troops, vehicles, and cargo, the Huron comes in two configurations: an armed version equipped with 6.5 mm gatling guns operated by side gunners, and a transport-focused variant that replaces gunners with two extra passenger seats.
  • Mi-290 Taru - Built with coaxial rotors and a modular design, the Mi-290 Taru excels in versatility. Its mission-specific pods allow it to perform various roles, including troop and cargo transport, resupply operations (providing ammunition, fuel, repairs, and medical gear), and even lifting light vehicles using sling loading.
  • Master Sling Loading - Experience the realism of external load operations. Utilize sling loading mechanics to assist NATO units in the rugged terrain of Altis.
  • Time Trials - Prove your piloting skills by completing four unique helicopter challenges and strive for the best times to earn gold medals.

$10 and you get two helicopters that you'll use in essentially zero game content. The game already has plenty of helicopters, and it uses those ones. You'll absolutely never notice this purchase through normal gameplay.

It just adds 2 helicopters, they're not any regular helicopters though they're heavy transport. The new flight model and firing from vehicles was added to the game for free. Should've been in the base game but the devs
