Arma 3 Helicopters

Arma 3 Helicopters adds the CH-67 Huron and Mi-290 Taru heavy-lift helicopters to Arma 3. You can transport troops, vehicles and cargo, support ground forces, and use sling loading to carry cargo or light vehicles beneath a helicopter.

Heavy-lift helicopters

The twin-engine CH-67 Huron has tandem rotors and comes in two variants. The armed version has two side gunners operating 6.5 mm gatling guns; the transport version replaces them with two additional passenger positions.

The Mi-290 Taru is a heavy utility helicopter with coaxial rotors and modular construction. Its mission pods let it take on different roles, including carrying cargo and troops or delivering ammunition, fuel, repair facilities and medical equipment. It can also lift light vehicles using sling loading.

Modes and training

The Showcase Sling Loading mission has you use a heavy transport helicopter to support NATO forces on Altis. Four exclusive helicopter Time Trials challenge you to win gold medals and set record times. Support MP Mode, inspired by sector control, tasks players with transporting units around the battlefield, delivering supplies and carrying out medevac operations. Four new VR Training courses help you learn helicopter flight.

Flight and equipment

The DLC adds sling loading for carrying cargo beneath helicopters, as well as rope technology for other uses. Its alternative Advanced Flight Model, powered by RotorLib, can be enabled for all official Arma 3 helicopters. You can also use personal weapons from specific passenger positions in a wide range of vehicles.

Additional objects

New objects for Arma 3 content creators include landing platforms, ropes and engine cranes. The DLC is supported by a free platform update for all Arma 3 owners, which adds a range of content and features.
