The goal of this team is to develop a level of realism and immersion that leaves the player with a sense of the difficulties encountered when conducting operations in the. * This preview features some screens from an earlier version of the Unsung Mod and Razorback’s terrain as well as some screens from a more recent build. This mod has been around since 2004, producing content for all the iterations of this military simulation. Obviously you won’t be doing any extended distance helo flying, but the detail that is packed into the map gives a lot of bang for the buck. By my admittedly rough calculations, it appears the map is 5km x 5km, giving 25 km² of flying space.

I don’t have enough superlatives to describe how awesome this terrain is, but hopefully the screens will somewhat illustrate the incredible work that has gone into this mod. The terrain is clearly a labor of love and I was surprised to see that it matches up very closely to the actual satellite imagery. The terrain by Razorback features the Đa Krông District, Quảng Trị Province. To successfully pass the mission, you must accomplish five of the assigned missions without destroying your helicopter or injuring your passengers. The random mission assignments include troop insertions and extractions, VIP movements, supply drops, cargo runs, and rescue missions among others. TeTeT’s Chickenhawk mission features tasks that are representative of the types of missions that Vietnam War Huey pilots were often assigned. You can check out their progress and see updates in this thread: HERE! The Unsung 3.0 mod has been under development for some time, building upon the success of their Arma 2 release. For those interested, Chickenhawk by Robert Mason is the definitive narrative of helicopter war in Vietnam, and stands as one of the best military non-fiction books I’ve read. As a huge fan of Take on Helicopters and Arma 2 & 3 helicopter flying, I was extremely excited to try out TeTeT’s awesome Chickenhawk mission.

In what has to be one of the most anticipated mods in years, the team developing The Unsung Vietnam War mod for Arma 3 is showing that this terrain will appeal to all types of players.
