The CS Navajo is an attack helicopter in Just Cause 3.
Description
Edit
The Navajo resembles the real world Agusta A129 Mangusta on the fuselage, the Eurocopter Tiger for the rear, and Boeing AH-64 Apache for the cockpit and various other bits.
The Rebel drop description says "Capstone's assault chopper combines speed, power, and versatility, offering two missile types: the rapid-strike 64 Volcanus and the punishing 99 Vindicator"
Performance
Edit
It's armed with "missiles" and "heavy missile", which can take down small military settlements in seconds.
The Navajo has decent speed of up to 243 km/h and decent maneuverability for a heavy assault helicopter. It can even dodge some SAMs if the pilot is skilled enough. The player must be careful on landing however as the helicopter is very fragile.

Trivia
Edit
- It's made by the fictional company CS.
- In early promotional materials it was called "CS Assault Chopper". All later ones call it "CS Navajo". The first name can now be considered Cut game content from Just Cause 3.
- The name "Navajo" could be a reference to US Army custom of naming helicopters after Native American tribes. Real life helicopters with Native American names include the AH-64 Apache, UH-72 Lakota, OH-58 Kiowa, CH-47 Chinook, and many others.
- In the "Kasabian Trailer", the CS Navajo is depicted with a machine gun instead of just a light on the front.
- In early concept artwork, the Navajo is identical to the Eurocopter Tiger (see gallery below). The in-game model is slightly different, as it takes inspiration from other real life attack helicopters as well.
- The HUD graphics used to represent the Navajo's weapons show a guided bomb and a rocket pod, however the HUD incorrectly refers to both as "missiles".
- It is the successor to the Jackson Z-19 Skreemer from Just Cause and AH-33 Topachula plus Sivirkin 15 Havoc from Just Cause 2.
- There is a small warning label on the nose that reads "ATTENTION, PLEASE NOTE: YOUR NOTING OF THIS SIGN HAS BEEN DULY NOTED".
- It's not known why this is here, other than perhaps a hidden joke.
