The Mi-26 Halo is a colossal heavy-lift helicopter, renowned for its unparalleled lifting capacity and versatility. Developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970s, it remains one of the largest and most powerful helicopters globally. With its distinctive twin rotors and robust airframe, the Mi-26 can transport massive cargo, from military equipment to civilian infrastructure components, with ease. Its spacious interior can accommodate up to 90 troops or provide ample room for specialized equipment. Equipped with advanced avionics and reliable engines, the Mi-26 excels in challenging environments, from combat zones to remote disaster relief operations, earning its status as an indispensable aerial workhorse.

This Project is still under development and it will take some time as this is my first helicopter mod but i have some of the best heli modders to seek wisdom from
My first release window is 2 weeks but only for flight and passenger capability's
Everything else comes after release

  1. Will have to learn animation for the rear doors
  2. script and develop the air lift capability's ( will be rudimentary)
  3. Add adams towing so the player can load and unload vics
  4. multiple iterations like medevac, mobile command unit, civilian market model
    Hope you enjoy!!

One can only imagine how much supplies this thing can hold

dawn mountain
#

whats a reasonable amount? 10,000?think

fickle canyon
#

However many of the Vehicle boxes you can fit into the cargo bay

dawn mountain
#

stacked too? thats alot

fickle canyon
#

I wouldn't stack them

#

For simplicities sake one layer should be more than enough

You'd be able to pack up and move an entire MOB, including the cost of all services built, and move it elsewhere

dawn mountain
#

good idea
This should be used also as a MOB (Command Unit) i plan on doing that after i make it fly

fickle canyon
#

That sounds wondrous

Also, fantastic work man! I’ve been wanting to see this thing in Reforger since we got helicopters

#

This can fit 80 passengers or 2 BMDs or 2 BTRs, or 1 BMP, or 2 gaz tigers or 1 supply truck

#

And it can lift a passenger plane

Oh most definitely, it will have more health than it will need
It will all be about shot placement of (i.e rpg7 rocket, ap shell from an abrams or a manpad)
Gotta hit in the correct spot
Hits to the hull will just weaken it

As memory served some Chechens managed to down one in the '90s, think they used a MANPAD but dunno

I love the potential idea behind their creations. “Oh, what if we had a plane, but let it skim the water?”

“Oh, what if he had a plane, but it was a helicopter instead??”😂

What if i hit it with an rpg

tribal pumice
#

I'm pretty sure even a tank round would have trouble with the helicopter

solar iris

#

Yes

#

Nice

#

Gotta laugh at the idea of an armoured cargo helicopter

median ermine
#

cannot wait for this thing

#

how many people will be able to board this again???

glass sun
median ermine
#

It has 82 seats

#

I wanna fly one directly into a combat zone and deliver a whole company

tribal pumice
#

Would there be a way to strap a bunch of machine-guns on it?

dawn mountain
#

I am going to have a "crows" type variant with a Kord on the front controllable from the cockpit

No Mi26 has ever been armed irl

median ermine
#

thats sick
what if you made a version without the insignia because why not

zenith trellis
#

Why would you take the insignia off?

median ermine
#

maybe you want a captured version

#

Idk

glass sun
#

Civ versions do exist irl

median ermine
#

PMC ahh

vast crow
#

Was this like the Russian answer to the chinook

snow lake
#

is 20 years younger and about 20 times bigger

glass sun
#

Yeah there's no Western equivalent, which is why even the UN flies the Mi-26.

And if they say “sorry but I’m not planning to make a version without the insignia” then he can look into your advice

Let's see if people know what a cargo helicopter is for or if we see 300,000 halo shootdowns

dawn mountain
#

She will have the English call sign "Brandy"

#

Like the liquor

median ermine
#

winter oasis
hot raft
#

I don’t think vehicles are able to be carried inside a helicopter or even carried using straps and cargo hook

#

Maybe later on in arma someone will make a possibility

spare merlin
#

Is this out yet? I might sound stupid but just seen this fucking looks sick

glass sun

#

We would need the towing mod to be remade

left parcel
dawn mountain
#

Not out yet!
My main goal is to get her to fly and they after that work on a system that allows you to load vics into the back of the Mi26

#

Aswell as airlift at a future date aswell

hot raft
#

Hell yeah man you’re doing a great job so far

if there would be an update, it would be posted
i had a look over your activity on this discord server - the amount of will there be type of questions = 90% of your posts, and such post are considered spam around here, particularly in relation to modding. Please refrain from posting the same sort of thing everywhere. Thanks
