The second premium DLC release for Arma 3 from developer Bohemia Interactive is scheduled for November 4th, and with it comes the CH-67 Huron and Mi-290 Taru heavy-lift helicopters.
There’s also going to be new free content and features in an accompanying platform update for Arma 3, tease Bohemia. The helicopters are to ”place a stronger emphasis” on logistics.
To compliment these new heavy-birds, Arma 3 will soon sport the new Support multiplayer mode, where players need to provide various kinds of logistical support using these new helicopters such as transport and medevac in Sector Control multiplayer scenarios.
”In addition, the update will include a set of ten VR Training helicopter stages, and five helicopter Time Trials, of which four will be exclusive to Helicopters DLC owners. A variety of new in-game objects, ranging from landing platforms to military decorations and more, will also be made available to Arma 3 content creators. Plus, Bohemia Interactive will add a related set of new Steam Achievements to the game,” they announced.
”With regards to the new features, the Arma 3 platform update comes with the optional RotorLib helicopter flight model, which is an upgraded version of the flight model used in Bohemia Interactive’s Take On Helicopters.”
”Furthermore, the platform update will include the aforementioned new ability to sling load cargo, and last but certainly not least: the much-anticipated firing-from-vehicles feature. This functionality enables vehicle passengers to fire their weapon while seated.” Arma 3 Helicopters DLC will be available November 4th for €12.99 / £10.99 / $15.99.
