Everything about the Heliborne takeover!

Salute! Lets make it really official! Im Bartek, new community manager for Heliborne and your first line of contact when it comes to anything related to the game. Im happy to let you know that yesterday Klabater purchased Heliborne - video game and brand! Since some of you expressed some doubts about our takeover ;) on FB and here we would like to organize a special AMA session so we can answer all your questions. Maybe we wont be able to answer all questions about the brand's expansion (as some of it are a subject of our internal discussions now and it may take a while longer) but we definitely tell you everything we already know! :) The session will take place on Discord, here are the specifics: #AMA_Session Channel Monday, 20.01.2020 from 4:00PM CET (6:00PM MSK; 8:00AM EST) to 6:00PM CET (8:00PM MSK, 10:00AM EST) We will update you on nearest future plans for the whole brand. What is really worth underlining - please be sure that there's GREAT time coming for Heliborne game and fans! Klabater was working very closely with JetCatGames as a game's publisher for years, we know this brand very well and we strongly feel that Heliborne is only speeding up and requires active support in terms of production, maintaining the attention of the community and further marketing activities such as gaining new users. And we will provide that, pilots! We will not turn Heliborne into F2P or P2W experience that is for sure. We have purchased the brand because we love it in first place. We want to assure you that no evil plans are afoot:). Moreover, we had a strong feeling that dedicated players were really expecting something more from the game in terms of quality improvement, new content and community support for a loooong time. As a publisher only our influence was limited now we can finally start to fulfill promises that were given to you long time ago. This means a lot of news and fresh content coming to you this year! We have VERY ambitious plans for the whole brand and its expansion. In the nearest future we plan to develop and release Heliborne: The Definitive Edition, fully re-mastered, taking into account the expectations of our community and with new content, a new version of the game. Stay tuned, more info soon! At the same time, the porting department at Klabater will be working on releasing the game on console platforms - PlayStation 4 and Xbox ONE. Last but not least, we created a form for your suggestions about the game. We would like to thank all of you for filling it! Here is the link: https://forms.gle/nKLThfoBBfDsxhuw5 Over and out!

Current Features

Updated simul-lite/arcade hybrid flight model that models over 70 different aspects of flight per helicopter.
Our Flight model melds the best of both worlds, and while being updated regularly, is in a state that we are very happy with. This includes momentum and inertia dynamics. This system will be expanded on with more realistic flight dynamics as the project grows.
41 Helicopter, Each with multiple weapons load-outs
The load-outs for each of our helicopters is based entirely on weapons systems that they would have, or did employ in active combat theaters and operations. You wont see a weapons loadout on our helicopters that is not historically accurate.
4 Major Mission Maps - Including Operation Nguyen Hue, Afghanistan, the Gulf of Tonkin in Vietnam, and Kosovo
All of our maps are "based" on historical conflicts and conflict locations.
2 Principle Game modes - Including standard skirmish, and Frontline mode that's currently exclusive to Operation Nguyen Hue
Skirmish mode is currently active on Afghanistan and Gulf of Tonkin and offers standard capture the flag gameplay. Operation Nguyen Hue offers the first glimpse at "Frontline" mode. As bases are captured by players, ground vehicles spawn in convoys and move across the map to fortify bases and positions.
Multiple AI controlled ground units in skirmish and Front-line mode
Tanks, Troop Carriers, and Anti-Aircraft Artillery vehicles make up the current roster of ground vehicles in Heliborne, more are planned.
Airborne Troops that can be deployed anywhere on the mapMANPADS or "Man-Portable Air Defense system" are just some of the "deploy-able" ground units that players can place anywhere, on any map. Not all helicopters carry these soldiers. Those that can, add a new level to the dynamic battlefield.
Three Classes of Helicopter from Attack, to Air-Assault, and Reconnaissance
Scout Helicopters are small, fast, and may or may not carry a small amount of soldiers. Attack Helicopters carry no troops and are dedicated to air-to-air or air-to-ground operations. Air-Assault helicopters typically carry a mix of troops and weapons and can fill multiple roles in combat.
Three Historical Tiers of Rotary Wing Aviation from 1950 to 2000
Helicopters are widely considered to have "Come of Age" during the Vietnam conflict, and over the following decades, helicopters have become integral to our very way of life. We seek to showcase Rotary wing aviation as it's evolved over four decades of conflict, support, and development.
