I've already tested that when you do some really insane maneuvers in helicopters in ArmA III Alpha you don't really get a negative effect like "Blackouts" or similar, the ACE2 Mod for ArmA II included that feature and a lot of people really liked it, one simply just can't experience more than 4G without any negative effects, so I would really appreciate G-Force effects in ArmA III.

Akinari-san,
G-force affects would be applicable in a fixed-wing jet that is capable of maintaining the flight profile necessary to cause high-G maneuver blackouts. Helicopters aren't really capable of putting you through that. The turns required cause the helicopter to have a massive drop in airspeed, naturally limiting the force exerted on the body. Jets tend to see those affects at hundreds (plural) of miles an hour; helicopters cannot go that fast and cannot maintain it at all in a turn. For reference, a blackhawk's approved max speed (which takes a dive to accomplish) is only about 190 knots (and it's not slow by helicopter standards), and has no way to maintain the level of forward thrust necessary in a turn since the lift-producing surface is the thrust producing surface (main rotor blades do it all by varying pitch and tilt of the rotor disk) whereas a jet can keep forward thrust going at 100% in any maneuver.
I have personal experience in this area; you are not going to black or red out (negative G) in a helicopter even flying at the limits of the airframe. You'll simply crash due to mishandling the aircraft or inducing spatial disorientation in the pilots. While it may be a neat mechanic, it's simply not realistic.

Fully agreed, incredible shit, why still not inside game? :)
Repro steps: goto centrifuge on space training's and you fill how its needed in this game of "military simulations"... :)

It should be possible to have the effect in helicopters too, or even on foot or in a car.
Have the effect managed by tracking the units velocity.

Same. Up voted for fixed wing aircraft, but not helicopters.
Edit: Redouts would be nice too.

This suggestion was processed by our team and will be looked into. We thank you for your feedback.

Upvoted if it isn't already implemented for fixed wing aircraft.
Absolutely not for helicopters, as the only way of inducing even the briefest g-force effects sufficient to affect the occupants, would be to crash at speed.
