What players say
I don't really recommend this game to 1) people who consider themselves average helicopter pilots in arma 2/3 because the learning curve requrired in this game is much higher and you need a very good understanding of helicopter physics to jump into this game. 2) people who seek a high fidelity, ultra realistic helicopter flight simulation. VBS3.0 or DCS UH-1H Huey gives budding pilots a much better benchmark for...

Terrible performance on modern computers. Awful controls, awful gameplay with lags, crashes, and just general unhelpfulness. I tried the career mode to check the story and see if the game ever gives you the options to buy helicopters on your own as it promises but could never finish it because of terrible game design. Do not even think of buying this. Too late to refund for me.
very satisfying tbh, the amazing devs, if we can get this in 2026 it would be mint
