Evaluation

Take On Helicopters launched on October 27, 2011. It received one DLC expansion, Take On Helicopters Hinds, which released on March 20, 2012. That is the only additional content the game ever received. Bohemia Interactive has made no further announcements, updates, or communications about the game since then — the developer news feed contains no development-relevant posts of any kind. The store description makes no mention of planned content, seasons, or ongoing updates. With all released DLC shipped and no indication of any further content from the developer, the game appears to have been a complete, finished product since the Hinds DLC launched in March 2012.
