The IAR 316B was a Romanian-licensed helicopter based on the Aérospatiale SA.316B design. The production started in 1971 in Brasov, Romania, and ended in 1987. The helicopter used the Turbomeca Artouste IIIB engine. It had a two-seat cockpit with a large glass canopy that offered good visibility. The cabin had two doors and could fit up to three passengers. The IAR 316B was adapted to carry Eastern-bloc weapons such as 57 mm rockets, 7.62 mm machine guns, and anti-tank missiles. Out of the 250 units produced, 125 were used by the Romanian military and the rest were sold to other countries such as Pakistan, Angola, and Guinea.

It was introduced as a premium pack in Update 1.87 "Locked On" and was removed from the store after the 2019 Birthday Sale. It shares some similarities with the French SA 316B Alouette III, but also has some advantages. It can equip machine guns for aerial combat, as well as Malyutka-2 ATGMs and S-5K rockets for ground attack. However, it still lacks adequate armour and needs careful piloting to avoid being shot down. The IAR 316B is agile and fast, but the pilot must be aware of its limitations and capabilities in order to survive over the battlefield.
