It has a variety of support containers that are specifically designed to be lifted by the Huron, ranging from a fuel cistern, ammunition supply, field medical station, and vehicle repair containers. Supply containers/Modular pods Object NameĪ heavy transport helicopter, the NATO Huron can carry significantly heavier loads than most helicopters other than the CSAT Mi-290. NOTE: Although Vans technically exceed the maximum weight threshold of the Mohawk/EH302, they can still be carried by the helicopter(s) regardless in spite of this discrepancy. It should be noted that the Mohawk suffers greatly from a speed and handling penalty while carrying significantly heavy objects that are close to its weight limit good examples being the Van Transport and the UGV Stomper for instance. One of the two medium-lift utility helicopters, the AAF/ IDAP Mohawk/ EH302 are able to carry slightly heavier objects than the NATO Ghost Hawk since it can tolerate an additional 1,000 kg worth of cargo but is otherwise restricted to the same types of vehicles. This mostly restricts it to lifting Quadbikes and small ammunition crates only. Please refer to the Slingloading section provided on CDLC assets for a specific list of compatible slingloadable objects.ĭue to the small size of its airframe, the NATO Pawnee is unable to carry any medium or large sized vehicles, and can only lift cargo that weighs up to a total of 500 kg. Global Mobilization) are not included within this list. Vehicles and cargo objects from third party-developed Creator DLCs (i.e.For more specific objects such as ammunition crates or pallets, refer to the Slingloading section in each helicopter's respective article. Only vehicles are listed under each helicopter's weight tables.Decimal weight values are rounded off and ignored for simplicity's sake.All " mass" values are referred to in kilograms and not tonnes for consistency reasons.On the other hand, while no in-game helicopter is obviously capable of slinging other helicopters, certain fixed-wing aircraft like the A-143 Buzzard are compact and light enough to be carried by specific heavy-lift helicopters such as the CSAT Mi-290 Taru. Likewise, many IFVs and APCs such as the AMV-7 Marshall, MSE-3 Marid, or any of the larger trucks cannot be carried because they are either too big or are also too heavy. Main Battle Tanks like the M2A1 Slammer or the T-100 Varsuk for instance, cannot be lifted simply because they far exceed the maximum lifting weight of all helicopters. In addition, not all vehicles can be slingloaded. Slingload ropes are not indestructible and can be damaged should they snap due to colliding with hard objects such as power cables, or are shot at by small arms fire. If the helicopter flies too far away, then the hook will also automatically retract and the slingloading attempt will be cancelled. Sudden movement or hovering too far/too high from the cargo will halt the hooking process.
Once attached to, the extra weight of the cargo will put a strain on the helicopter's speed and handling. These provide direct footage of the aircraft's underbelly provided that the player has Picture-in-Picture (PIP) enabled in their graphic settings. Most helicopters such as the Huron or the Mohawk also feature terminals integrated into the cockpit of the aircraft and can be seen in first person. The assistant shows a circular 2D representation of the aircraft's position, and will alert the pilot should they hover either too far or too high from the target. This is done by attaching ropes onto the object (the process is automatic) while hovering at a recommended safe altitude of between 30-40 metres above the target and then lowering the hook.įor more precision during the hooking or detaching process, a Slingload Assistant (SLA) can be toggled to display onto the player's HUD. The majority of helicopters in ArmA 3 are able to slingload cargo underneath them. Note the slingload assistant window visible in the bottom right hand corner of the player's HUD.
