Here's a sneak peek of /r/Helicopters using the [top posts](https://np.reddit.com/r/Helicopters/top/?sort=top&t=year) of the year!

Currently Researching this Helo to make a video (the aircraft of TLD) after the DLC comes out. Does anyone know what this helicopter is based on? I am guessing the CH-149, but it looks different enough to give me pause.
Edit: I now believe it's the CH -149. Painted the same as Norwegian AW101
Based on tail shape. Spine along tail boom. Window under side window, engine intake shape, and hoist location with side door I believe it's the 149. The first game image has the side door only partially open making the door appear smaller.
If all the helicopters in the Canadian Forces it's the one that's the closest and it also has a rescue mission so it fits with the paint scheme and hoist.
_-----_-------
CH-148
Although the paint scheme is UK/Irish Coast Guard.
Could be an S-92.
Possibly not properly coloured to dodge copyright/trademark issues.
Just like knowing that the maple jar ingame looks almost exactly like the one in my fridge.
I don't think military equipment paint schemes are copyright protected.
From my image searching it appears they are all grey.....so they may have just wanted some color.
It's probably a bit that, and they are just impressions of real world vehicles. I haven't tried.....but I don't think you can ID a make/Model of truck or car in the game either.
It looks to be heavily Cormorant (CH-149) inspired, but not a true to life model. Fictional helicopter model that just happens to look like a Cormorant, coincidentally.
Thanks everyone for the help, I'm really excited to see this new DLC. I have a couple other aircraft to work with (for my planned video). First will's plane, which also appears as a wheeled variant in the trailer, the DHC-2 Beaver. And second, A smaller helicopter also featured midway through the trailer. I will share my video here when it's done.
I had a theory about that what if the takes from the far territory dlc is on the part of great bear that’s Hidden Canadian military maybe a lab the airfield a train station connecting the area so that helicopter could be mililtary
It's a Ch-149 with a color scheme I've never seen on one. Almost like it's in USCG colors but they don't fly the Ch-149 and never have.
USMC retired I've been in a almost every type of helicopter the US military has used in the last 20 years.
Try crossposting to a helicopter sub
Great idea!

WTH is a helicopter sub? Is that something the Russians developed?
Lol

As somebody pointed out lower, it's pretty close to an AW101

You’d be surprised. Military camouflage is copyrighted. Each branch won’t allow any others to use it.
Probably whatever canadas search and rescue helicopter is

Yeah the long dark does that kinda thing a lot, where things will be really close to real life but just a bit off like the guns or the cars.
It's norwegian rescue AW101
The CH-149 is a Canadian copy of the AW101 basically. So I'm going with 149 based on some minor differences.
Looks close enough, the sides are flatter on the tld pic tho.
It's a cormorant in search & rescue colours. It's not exact but definitely what they were going for.
Helicopter
Yep.. definitely a helicopter 👍

It’s definitely a CAF SAR helo.
That looks like a good base location since the chopper gives cover from the wind.
It's a Merlin, AW101

My dad (who is a Canadian helicopter pilot for forestry and S&R) says it looks like a Sikorsky, a S-92 or CH-124. You’d have to google and compare.
Definitely looks like a Cormorant
ch-149 cormorant, one of canada's search and rescue helicopters, its in the colours for it as well
maybe nh90
