Ceeeb, as you point out, Arma II does simulate autorotation (Whether intentionally or not intentionally), but that is Arma II. If I'm not mistaken, Arma III uses a different flight model. If you attempt this maneuver in Arma III, you will find the flight model is not sufficient to simulate it.
NodUnit, I think I remember one of the developers talk about how they weren't focusing on the vehicles too heavily early on in development which makes sense. Who knows if they are going to make changes to the flight model, etc.
