Games

The HEMTT (full name: Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck) is logistics truck used exclusively by NATO forces in ArmA 3.

Overview[]

Roles:
- Troop transport
- Munitions transport
- Cargo transport
- Ground vehicle repair
- Refuelling
- Vehicle munitions rearmament
- Medical support

«

The Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck is an 8x8 diesel-powered off-road truck. It servers as a standard heavy transport vehicle for BLUFOR armies. There are several versions covering the basic transport functions: cargo, refuel, medical, repair, and ammo resupply.

Field Manual^[1]

Design[]

The HEMTT is an eight-wheel drive tactical truck. Its primary mission is to provide heavy transport capabilities for the resupply of combat vehicles and weapon systems.

Features
A workhorse of the U.S. Army's logistics, the HEMTT is available in multiple configurations aside from its standalone, trailer-less tractor unit:

Troop carriers with covered/uncovered flatbeds capable of transporting up to seventeen passengers at a time^{[CfgVh 9]}^{[CfgVh 12]}
An ammunition carrier that can resupply armed vehicles and aircraft
Fuel tanker that can refuel nearby ground vehicles and landed aircraft
A mobile repair vehicle variant capable of fixing damaged vehicles/aircraft
Two flatbeds (with and without railings/panels) that can haul other vehicles using Vehicle-in-Vehicle Transportation (ViVT)
An ambulance variant that can not only carry wounded personnel but also provide field aid to the injured^{[CfgVh 17]}
A flatbed truck with a large container loaded by default

Mobility
The HEMTT's engine has a power output of 450 kW^{[CfgVh 18]} and can generate up to 1,450 N·m of torque.^{[CfgVh 19]}

In terms of engine performance and efficiency, it sits between the Tempest (180 kW^{[CfgVh 20]}/1,520 N·m^{[CfgVh 21]}) and the Zamak (206 kW^{[CfgVh 22]}/1,180 N·m^{[CfgVh 23]}). It has a better torque curve^{[CfgVh 24]} compared to the Zamak^{[CfgVh 25]} but isn't too different from the Tempest.^{[CfgVh 26]} Where the HEMTT drastically differs from both is acceleration, as it is much faster than its counterparts thanks to the high power output of its engine.^{[CfgVh 18]} Because of this, the HEMTT can climb up hills and rough terrain much more easily than the Tempest can (the latter will always be slowed to a crawl).

When it comes to pure speed, the HEMTT is only faster than the Zamak by 1 km/h (83 km/h versus the Zamak's 82 km/h). Against the Tempest, the HEMTT is ~ 11% slower and is unable to come close to matching the former's top speed of 93 km/h. Despite most Tempest variants being on average 4-5 tonnes heavier than the HEMTT, its usage of a more efficient engine^{[CfgVh 21]} means that it will always be faster on flat terrain over the HEMTT (even when turbo is not toggled).

Handling-wise, the HEMTT possesses the worst turn rate out of the three trucks due to the length of its body.^{[CfgVh 27]} Compared to the likes of the Zamak^{[CfgVh 28]} and to a lesser extent, the Tempest^{[CfgVh 29]}, the HEMTT will need plenty of room to manoeuvre as it is the longest of the three logistics-oriented military trucks in ArmA 3. This extends to off-road performance as well, as the HEMTT loses speed much more quickly when driving on rough terrain^{[CfgVh 30]} compared to the Tempest^{[CfgVh 31]} and the Zamak.^{[CfgVh 32]} Fortunately however, this drawback is minor at best, since the HEMTT's powerful engine will allow the driver to overcome any off-road speed penalties.

Drawbacks
No variant of the HEMTT has weapons fitted to the cab's roof. An armed escort is essentially mandatory if the HEMTT is being driven into a combat zone since the truck's crew possess no means of self-defence. Although troop carrier HEMTTs allow the rear two passengers to fire their own weapons out of the vehicle, their firing arcs are extremely limited as they cannot point their weapons towards the front of the truck (only the rear and opposite side of their seat).^{[CfgVh 33]}^{[CfgVh 34]}

Furthermore, only the lower half of the cab's hull is actually bullet-resistant regardless of the truck's configuration. The rest of the truck's body - including the flatbed, is not so well-protected. A hail of gunfire can easily immobilise the HEMTT by popping its tyres (6.5 mm Gatling guns are especially effective in this regard) or be outright blown up in a single hit by shoulder-fired launchers if the munition strikes the truck's fuel tank.

Crew Capacity
No matter the variant, all HEMTTs only require a single crewman in the form of its driver. Passenger capacity on the other hand, varies depending on the HEMTT's configuration:

Transport HEMTTs, both covered and uncovered variants, are able to carry up to seventeen passengers at a time^{[CfgVh 9]}^{[CfgVh 12]} (two of these passengers can utilise FFV)^{[CfgVh 10]}^{[CfgVh 11]}^{[CfgVh 13]}^{[CfgVh 14]}
Medical HEMTTs have wide benches in the rear bed that allow for passengers to lie down, thereby limiting them to a maximum of sixteen passengers^{[CfgVh 8]}
The standalone tractor unit^{[CfgVh 1]}, as well as every other non-Transport/Medical HEMTT variant (Ammo/Box/Cargo/Flatbed/Fuel/Repair) can only transport a single passenger who sits in the truck's cab alongside the driver^{[CfgVh 5]}^{[CfgVh 2]}^{[CfgVh 3]}^{[CfgVh 6]}^{[CfgVh 4]}^{[CfgVh 7]}

Protection: Hitpoints[]

All configurations of the HEMTT have a base armour value of 200.^{[CfgVh 46]}

The following highlighted positions serve as weak points on HEMTT trucks:

**LEGEND**^{[SCR 2]}
**Green** = Body
**Orange** = Engine
**Violet** = Fuel tank

It should be noted that the vehicle body and fuel tank hitpoints explicitly overlap on the HEMTT Fuel variant (the tanker itself is considered to be a part of the main fuel hitpoint).

Arma3-hemttcargoflatbed-hitpoints — **Left:** *HEMTT Cargo*, **Right:** *HEMTT Flatbed*

**Orange** = Engine
**Violet** = Fuel tank

Arma3-hemtttransportcoveredmedical-hitpoints — **LEGEND**^{[SCR 2]}
**Green** = Body
**Orange** = Engine
**Violet** = Fuel tank

It should be noted that the only difference on the uncovered HEMTT Transport variant is the lack of a tarpaulin cover over the rear flatbed. The length of the body hitpoint remains unchanged for the rear section of the vehicle.

Body[]

The HEMTT's body (including the flatbed supply containers on the HEMTT Ammo/Box/Repair variants) can withstand up to 200 points of damage.^{[CfgVh 47]}^{[Formula 1]} It takes 150% additional damage from high-explosive (HE) type munitions.^{[CfgVh 48]}

Depletion of the body's integrity will instantly result in a catastrophic kill.^{[CfgVh 49]}^{[CfgVh 50]}

Engine[]

The HEMTT's engine can take a maximum of 100 points of damage before it fails.^{[CfgVh 51]}^{[Formula 2]} It takes 50% reduced damage from HE-type munitions.^{[CfgVh 52]} 100% of damage inflicted upon the engine will always be shared with the HEMTT's main "health" pool. Destroying the engine can potentially cause the HEMTT to blow up if it is at or near critical "health" status.^{[CfgVh 53]}

Fuel tanks[]

The HEMTT's primary fuel tank (and the tanker on the HEMTT Fuel variant) can withstand up to 100 points of damage before it ruptures.^{[CfgVh 54]}^{[Formula 3]} It takes 150% additional damage from HE-type munitions.^{[CfgVh 55]} 100% of incoming damage inflicted upon the HEMTT's fuel tank(s) will always be shared with the truck's main "health" pool. If the HEMTT is at critical "health" status, destruction of the fuel tank(s) will consistently cause the HEMTT to explode.^{[CfgVh 56]}

Wheels[]

Each of the HEMTT's eight wheels can take up to 200 points of damage before their tyres burst.^{[CfgVh 57]}^{[CfgVh 58]}^{[note 4]} They take 400% additional damage from HE-type munitions.^{[CfgVh 59]}^{[CfgVh 60]} However, no damage inflicted upon any of the wheels will be shared with the HEMTT's main "health" pool.^{[CfgVh 61]}^{[CfgVh 62]}

Destroying all eight wheels will be necessary to completely immobilise the HEMTT. Depending on how many wheels are remaining, it is still possible for the HEMTT to continue driving even if the majority of its tyres have been burst (aside from climbing uphill).

Protection: Armour[]

HEMTTs utilise a mix of Composite Armour plating and non-composite materials. It is not possible to retrofit any configuration of the HEMTT with addon armour modules:
