Bohemia Interactive deployed an 'official mod' in the form of the free ADR-97 Weapon Pack. It can be downloaded through the steam workshop.
Spoiler: new aircraft and back stories V-44 X Blackrish VTOL The V-44 X Blackfish’ third-generation tilt-rotor VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) technology allows this long endurance aircraft to conveniently utilize a wide range of airfields and runways. It also provides unparalleled maneuverability with its unique ability to perform pylon turns or merely hover in place. The huge internal storage allows for transportation of vehicles up to the size and weight of AMV-7 Marshall APC in the vehicle transport variant or up to 32 fully armed soldiers with supplies in the infantry transport variant. The storage space of the gunship variant is fully occupied by automated weapon stations and carried ammunition. Y-32 Xi'an VTOL This was by far the largest CSAT joint development project, and it eventually became one of the most expensive programs in military procurement history. The final solution was based upon the most promising prototype designed in Xi'an, which was able to meet most of the requirements. High running and maintenance costs remains in issue that plagues the reputation of the otherwise extremely progressive aircraft with many unique features and cutting-edge technologies. KH-3A Fenghuang Drone The KH-3A Fenghuang is an unmanned aerial drone based on Chinese design. The UAV adopts the unusual canard layout and is propelled by a pusher engine. This multipurpose drone is equipped with modern tracking and tracing systems, countermeasures and also carries four air-to-ground laser guided missiles. MQ-12 Falcon Drone This autonomous/remotely controlled helicopter drone is mainly used as close air support and can be deployed in the most dangerous zones thanks to its unmanned construction. The Falcon is equipped with a laser designator and can therefore handle surveillance, reconnaissance and target designation tasks. Its greatest strength, however, lies in its armament. It carries two rocket pods, each with 12 unguided rockets and six Scalpel air-to-ground missiles. MQ-12 Falcon can also use countermeasures for self-defense. Caesar TBB Propeller Plane (real world Columbia 400 later acquired by Cessna and sold as the 400 TT Corvallis and now marketed as the Cessna TTx Model T240) Caesar BTT is a single-engine, fixed-gear, low-wing general aviation aircraft built from composite materials. The Caesar BTT is one of the fastest fixed-gear, single-engine piston aircraft, reaching a speed of 235 knots (435 km/h) true air speed at 25,000 feet (7,600 m). It is used by civilians and smaller shipping companies all around the world. (actually is the fastest FAA-certified fixed gear single -engined piston aircraft in production today, the stats are taken directly from the aircraft's stats and the model looks to be very close to the Columbia/Cessna aircraft) [spoiler/] I'll be honest, I'm looking forward to several of these because it means that the flight model might be updated for fixed wing aircraft (the current one is all sorts of janky) That said, I still prefer helicopters and I'm getting the feeling that they are going a bit too futuristic and high tech when it comes to vehicles. Especially since they are putting AK's and AR-15's in along with RPG-7's to better match the older weapons that the criminals/revolutionaries and local government would have on a backwater south pacific island that has otherwise been passed over by the main superpowers.
That Y32 is just a set of engine pods away from being a Boomslang EDIT: HA they even used the name Xi'an, I wonder where the inspiration came from?
Who names a helicopter after a bird of prey? Drone or not.. Edit: BlackHAWK.. I suppose there's a precedent.
