The HMMWV (full name: High Mobility Multi-purpose Vehicle, better known as the Humvee) is a family of Light Utility Vehicles featured in ArmA: Cold War Assault, ArmA: Armed Assault, and ArmA 2.


ArmA: Cold War Assault[]

The HMMWV is used exclusively by U.S. military forces in ArmA: Cold War Assault.

Overview[]

  • Role:
    • Troop transport
« The High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) has replaced the M151 ‘Willys’ jeep in US Army service. The HMMWV was designed to fill myriad roles, including that of light tactical commander's vehicle, special purpose shelter carrier, and mobile weapons platform. The HMMWV is equipped with a high performance diesel engine and four wheel drive, making it capable of traversing very difficult terrain.
Vehicle Description

Design[]

The HMMWV was first developed in 1979 and was eventually brought into serve with the U.S. military in 1981. It was designed primarily for personnel and light cargo transport duties, supplementing and intended to completely replace the M151 'Wilys' Jeep in these roles.

Features
The HMMWV is essentially a tougher version of the more commonplace Jeep transport used by conventional U.S. forces at the height of the Cold War.

Compared to both the Jeep and the Soviet-made UAZ, the HMMWV provides far better protection for both its passengers and the driver. Because it's completely enclosed and has almost triple the base amount of armour, this allows it to survive moderate amounts of small arms fire - though it should be noted that by no means does this make the HMMWV completely impervious to damage.

Mobility
Like the Jeep, the HMMWV is intended to be an off-road vehicle. It has virtually identical stats to the Jeep and has decent handling on all terrain types. Though the HMMWV is slightly slower than the Soviet UAZ, the differences are generally insignificant in practice, and is barely noticeable when both vehicles are close to reaching their top speeds.

Drawbacks
Ironically, its only downside stems from the lack of armament. Unlike the Jeep, this makes it largely ineffective in combat outside of transporting troops around (like the Soviet UAZ) since it cannot defend itself or return fire on hostile forces.

Crew Capacity
The HMMWV has enough seats to transport its driver and up to three passengers.


Protection[]

The HMMWV has 80 points worth of armour plating.


Trivia[]

  • The HMMWV was not actually included as part of the default set of vehicles that could be driven in Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (the initial release name of Cold War Assault), and was only added with the release of Patch 1.20.[1]

ArmA: Armed Assault[]

The HMMWV is used by U.S. Army forces in ArmA: Armed Assault.

A dedicated non-military variant called the HMMWV Civil is also available, and is used by both Black Element private military contractors and Sahrani government officials. It was added with the release of the Queen's Gambit expansion pack.

Design[]

Having replaced the long-since outdated Jeep, the Armed Assault HMMWV now occupies the same role as the Jeep did for the U.S. military as its primary light utility vehicle.

Features
Unlike its Cold War Assault predecessor, the Armed Assault HMMWV features separately armed sub-variants that can now provide light fire support in addition to transporting soldiers.

Compared to both the SLA's UAZ and the RACS Army 4x4 LUVs, the HMMWV is similar in terms of configuration and roles. Where the HMMWV differs is its armament; the HMMWV is the only one that offers a dedicated anti-tank variant that can take on tanks and other armoured vehicles.

Arma1-hmmwv-01

M2-armed troop carrier variant.

It is also the only vehicle that provides (albeit limited) protection for its riders against ballistic projectiles. Naturally however, the armour plating on HMMWVs isn't that much better than other light vehicles in its class, so staying out of harm's way is preferrable unless it's absolutely unavoidable to expose them to enemy fire.

Mobility
The HMMWV has moderate handling and can accelerate fairly quickly for a vehicle of its size. It has decent off-road handling, and has a more stable centre of gravity compared to the UAZ.

Drawbacks
The HMMWV has the least capacity out of the three LUVs. Although they are consistently capable of carrying three at a time (not including the gunner on the armed variants) unlike the armed UAZ/Army 4x4, the HMMWV still contains three less seats than both vehicles which makes it far less useful as a dedicated troop transport.

Crew Capacity
HMMWVs support a crew consisting of the driver and in the case of the armed variants, a gunner. All variants can carry up to three passengers at a time.


Variants[]

Arma1-render-hmmwvwoodland
Baseline unarmed troop transport variant.

Can transport up to three passengers (one in the front-right seat and two in the rear).

Arma1-render-hmmwvm2woodland
Armed troop carrier.

This HMMWV variant is fitted with an M2 .50 cal heavy machine gun mounted onto the turret ring above the roof of the vehicle. The M2 is pre-loaded with a single 100-round belt box and has five more to reload with (for a combined total of 600 rounds).

It can transport up to three passengers at a time.

Arma1-render-hmmwvmk19woodland
Alternate armed variant equipped with a Mk. 19 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.

The Mk. 19 is pre-loaded with a single 48-round grenade belt, and carries a further three more belts spare for a combined total of 192 grenades.

It contains the same number of seats as the baseline vehicle.

Arma1-render-hmmwvtowwoodland
Anti-tank weapons carrier variant.

This variant is armed with an M220 TOW missile launcher. The TOW is pre-loaded with one missile by default and carries a further five to reload from (for a combined total of six missiles).

It contains the same number of seats as the baseline vehicle.

Arma1-render-hmmwvblack
Identical to the baseline variant but uses an all-black chromed paint scheme and modified interior. It otherwise retains the same number of seats and core functionality of mil-spec HMMWVs.

This variant is only used by Sahrani government officials and PMCs.


Camouflage[]

  • Black: Chromed black paint scheme. Exclusively used by PMC and civilian HMMWVs only.
  • Woodland: Three-colour woodland camouflage scheme. Used by U.S. Army HMMWVs only.

Protection[]

All HMMWV variants have base armour values of 40.

Body[]

The vehicle body on all HMMWV variants can survive up to 40 points of damage.

Engine[]

HMMWV engines are capable of resisting just 16 points of damage before failure.

Fuel tank[]

Fuel tanks can only withstand 12 points of damage before rupturing.

Wheels[]

HMMWV wheels will break if they take more than 15.2 points of damage.


Armament[]

Weapon systems on the armed variants are exclusively handled by the roof gunner position.

All mounted weapons have no limitation to their horizontal rotation, but vertical rotation is limited to a maximum elevation of 60 degrees for the M2/Mk. 19-armed variants and only 20 degrees for the M220 TOW model. For depression, they have limits of 25 and 10 degrees instead (respectively):

M2[]

Arma1-vehicleweapons-hmmwv-m2

NOTE: Only available on the HMMWV (M2) variant.

Base damage value Initial velocity (m/s)
26 930

Heavy machine gun. Intended for anti-infantry use, or against unarmoured vehicles and low-flying helicopters.

Has a fire rate of ~ 545 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s. It takes 10 seconds to reload a fresh belt box. The M2 has an effective firing range of between 400 and up to 1,200 metres, with a dispersion of 0.002 rad at all distances.

Mk. 19[]

Arma1-vehicleweapons-hmmwv-mk19

NOTE: Only available on the HMMWV (Mk19) variant.

Damage type Base damage value Initial velocity (m/s)
High-Explosive 12 240

M220 TOW[]

Arma1-vehicleweapons-hmmwv-m220tow

NOTE: Only available on the HMMWV (TOW) variant.

Damage type Base damage value
High-Explosive Anti-Tank 650

Anti-tank guided missile launcher. Can use either autonomous or manual wire guidance.

The M220 TOW can only launch one missile every 8 seconds. It takes a further 30 seconds to fully rearm the launcher's stockpile (assuming the gunner has run out and is resupplying from a logistics vehicle). It has a minimum firing range of 500 metres up to an absolute maximum of 8,000 metres.

Missiles have an initial launch velocity of 8 m/s and can reach up to speeds of 360 m/s in mid-flight. They can be controlled up to a maximum distance of 8,000 metres. The warheads have a 2 metre blast radius.


Trivia[]

  • Armed Assault remains as the only title in the series thus far to feature a civilian variant of the HMMWV.
  • Prior to Update 1.06, the HMMWV's glass was effectively indestructible and could not be penetrated by gunfire.[2]

Armoury Description

Design[]

The ArmA 2 HMMWV continues to serve as the U.S. Army's/USMC's primary light utility vehicle, though it has been expanded with many more configurations in addition to its baseline transport variant.

Features
Aside from the baseline troop carrier variant, there are a total of twelve variants that can be used:

  • Another unarmed Utility variant that can transport troops.
  • Five armed troop carrier models that are equipped with either a .50 cal/12.7 mm heavy machine gun, a 7.62 mm medium machine gun (with a gunshield), or a 40 mm/30 mm automatic grenade launcher.
  • An anti-tank variant that can fire wire-guided anti-tank missiles at ground vehicles.
  • An up-armoured troop carrier model that is also equipped with a .50 cal HMG.
  • A dedicated low-altitude anti-aircraft variant that can fire infrared-guided Stinger missiles at helicopters and low flying jets.
  • An unarmed Ambulance variant that can heal injured personnel on the battlefield and can transport severely wounded or medically trained troops.
  • A mobile drone command vehicle that can interface with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and other autonomous vehicles while remaining on the move.
  • Two armed variants that have remotely operated gun turrets; either with a .50 cal HMG or 40 mm AGL.
  • And lastly, a Special Operations Vehicle (SOV) variant that is configured as a fast attack vehicle for long distance patrols or infiltration behind enemy lines.

Each vehicle is armed to be able to tackle a specific type of threat, or can transport additional passengers.

Arma2-hmmwv-04

M240-armed variant operated by the USMC.

Mobility
All variants of the HMMWV have a much higher top speed compared to its Russian-made counterpart. Though the HMMWV takes slightly longer to gain speed and cannot turn as sharply, it has overall better stability both on- and off-road compared to the UAZ-469 and faces less of a risk of rollovers on bumpy terrain.

Drawbacks
Compared to the unarmed UAZ-469 which can transport up to six passengers, no variant of the HMMWV is actually capable of carrying more than three-four passengers at a time (aside from the SOV and Ambulance models). This does limit its usefulness as a battlefield taxi since it won't be able to bring as many troops into combat, though this is somewhat compensated by its modularity and overall better armour.

Crew Capacity
Seating capacity for other passengers and additional crewmen depends on the variant.

Regardless of variant however, all HMMWVs always contain enough seats for both the driver and a single passenger who sits beside them in the front-right seat.


Variants[]

Arma2-render-hmmwvwoodland
Baseline unarmed troop transport variant.

Can transport up to three passengers (one in the front-right seat and two in the rear).

Arma2-render-hmmwvsovdesert
Another unique configuration that is based on the standard armed troop carrier variants, but uses an exposed open-top layout with a roll cage instead.

The turret ring in the centre of the vehicle is armed with a 40 mm AGL that feeds from a single 48-round HEDP grenade belt, and has a further three belts spare for a total of 192 grenades.

The front-right seat now serves as the vehicle commander's position, and has a forward-facing 7.62 mm MMG that is pre-loaded with a 100-round belt box. The M240 has three more belt boxes to reload with.

Can transport two passengers in the rear.


(*) This variant is not functional in normal gameplay unless the mission maker has synchronised the vehicle to a UAV with the UAV module.
(**) This variant is USMC-exclusive and is not available in a desert-camouflage scheme.


Camouflage[]

  • Woodland: Three-colour woodland paint scheme. Only used by USMC HMMWVs.
  • Desert: Flat desert sand/desert tan paint scheme. Only used by U.S. Army and Czech special operations HMMWVs.

Protection[]

All baseline and non-up armoured variants of the HMMWV have base armour values of 40.

Only specific models of the HMMWV have different armour values. These range from:

  • CROWS turret mounted variants have armour values of 100
  • GPK-equipped and the M240-armed variants have armour values of 120
  • Avenger SHORAD model retains the highest with an armour value of 150

Successful strikes to any of the following highlighted sections will inflict full damage to the component:

Arma2-hmmwv-hitpoints

LEGEND
Green = Body
Orange = Engine
Violet = Fuel tank

Note that only the baseline troop carrier HMMWV with no modifications is shown here. All other HMMWV configurations share the same component hit zones regardless of their intended role.

There are slight deviations in the case of specific models due to their enlarged or smaller bodies (i.e. GPK/SOV) or the inclusion of a remote turret (i.e. CROWS), but the positioning and overall layouts of hitpoints remain the same.

Body[]

The vehicle body on most HMMWV variants can resist up to 40 points of damage.

Other variants can take more damage before their integrity fails:

Variant type Base armour value
CROWS 100
GPK 120
Avenger 150

Engine[]

The engine on regular HMMWV variants can survive 20 points of damage.

For certain other configurations, they are much tougher and can incur much more damage before failing:

Variant type Base armour value
CROWS 50
GPK 60
Avenger 75

Regardless of variant, a damaged engine will prevent the HMMWV from being able to attain its top speed.

Fuel tank[]

On most HMMWV variants, their fuel tanks can resist a meagre 5.6 points of damage before rupturing.

For other specific models however, damage values will differ:

Variant type Base armour value
CROWS 14
GPK 16.8
Avenger 21

No matter the variant, incurred damage will cause the HMMWV(s) to gradually leak fuel over time.

Wheels[]

Each of the tyres on regular HMMWVs can only incur 6 points of damage.

For certain other configurations, armour values differ:

Variant type Base armour value
CROWS 15
GPK 18
Avenger 22.5

No matter the variant, at least 30% of damage onto any of the wheels will be shared with the vehicle's main "health" pool.

Bursting any of the four is sufficient to impede but not immobilise the HMMWV. Even with two out of four tyres missing, it is still possible to drive the HMMWV so as long as one of the two on either side of the vehicle remains intact. If three out of four are shot out however, the HMMWV will be immobilised even if the engine is undamaged.


Armament[]

The gunner position handles all weapon systems regardless of variant.

Rotation limits vary depending on variants, but all (except for the Avenger model) can fully swivel in all directions horizontally. For vertical limits this depends on the weapon mount; M2HB, DShKM, MK19, AGS-30 and M240-armed variants have elevation/depression angle limits of 60/25 degrees respectively. The BGM-71E TOW launcher on the other hand is restricted to a limit of 20/10 degrees instead.

Specifically for the Avenger variant, their M3P/FIM-92 Stinger pod can only be swivelled up to a maximum of 180 degrees horizontally. Vertical rotation is slightly more generous with an elevation of 70 degrees but has a depression of only 10 degrees.

The CROWS, Avenger and TOW-fitted variants are the only HMMWV models which retain access to image-intensifying optics. They have variable zoom and can toggle between day, night and black-hot/white-hot thermal vision modes. All other variants employ either ironsights or simple magnified sights:

M2HB[]

Arma2-vehicleweapons-hmmwv-m2hb

Trivia[]

  • Both variants of the HMMWV CROWS added in the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack are depicted with highly implausible configurations. This is because both vehicles are based on the older "M998" models of the HMMWV, which have roofs that are physically incapable of supporting the weight of CROWS turrets.
    • Realistically, it would have made more sense for the CROWS variants to be based on the up-armoured "M1114" or "M1165" models instead (represented by the in-game M240-armed/GPK variants, respectively). Unlike M998s, M1114s/M1165s were actually designed to support the added weight of early CROWS turrets.
    • Gameplay-wise, it also makes little sense for the HMMWV CROWS variants to have almost three times the armour of their regular weapons carrier models. Unlike the GPK variants, their models are not depicted with any armour modules installed.
  • Following the release of the latest Community Configuration Project/CorePatch updates (for the Steam versions of ArmA 2), the gunner on TOW/Avenger HMMWVs were granted access to thermal vision modes.[3]
    • However, the patches have also strangely renamed all HMMWVs to "HMMMX" instead.[4] Though no clear reason has ever been given for this change, one possible rationale is for licencing reasons as both "Humvee" and "HMMWV" are trademarked names owned by AM General.
  • A burnt-out wreck of the HMWWV (generically referred to as an "Army Car") is placeable in the editor for ArmA 3. None of the factions make use of the vehicle however, as there is no functional version of the HMMWV that can be driven in-game.[5]
