Game description
In Take On Helicopters is about a shipping company that the Larkin brothers that lies just in financial difficulties. In addition to the transportation of business people and general cargo, orders from the military are also accepted. Here you support the mercenary and ex-soldier Frost (an ArmA-2 - DLC character) in missions in Southeast Asia. There are two islands (US city of Seattle and Southeast Asia) and three types of helicopters to choose from. In addition, the environment is equipped with AI units such as C-130s , ambulances, cars, trucks or figures from public life. These units can also be used in the supplied editor to create new missions. All units can be freely controlled as in ArmA . The aim of the campaign is to get the company out of the crisis again.
Difference to the tactical shooter
In contrast to Armed Assault 2, the focus is not on combat, but rather on flying skills. Unlike their ArmA counterparts, the helicopters have detailed cockpits . On the other hand, some of the islands are not developed enough to keep performance requirements low. Otherwise the menu control, editor with some graphical changes are the same as in Armed Assault 2 .
It is also possible to develop your own add-ons and integrate them like in ArmA . A few months later, the developer offered some of the game's helicopters to download as help. It contains models in an uncompressed state so that they can be loaded or modified in the SDK tools for ArmA 2 , which are also freely downloadable . In addition, the user has the option of changing the texture of the helicopters with a script, as is already possible for vehicles in ArmA 2 .
